Re: The Tennis player Rafal Nadal will be the new ambassador of PokerStars!!!
Pretty incredible pick up for Stars, Nadal is awesome. My understanding is that if/when the US gets regulation we should anticipate people with built in mainstream appeal like athletes and entertainers getting many of the sponsorship/ambassador jobs, so I don't think Nadal will be the only still-playing big name athlete to end up working for a site.

12 million € in 2 or 3 years looks enought to have one of the best tennis players in the world as ambassador

Re: The Tennis player Rafal Nadal will be the new ambassador of PokerStars!!!
Wow. To get one of the top 10 sportsmen in the entire world to rep a poker site is a pretty incredible feat. I wonder how much $$ was involved in this.

Re: The Tennis player Rafal Nadal will be the new ambassador of PokerStars!!!
Yes, if true this is a pretty sick signing from PokerStars. Certainly shows their commitment to the new Spanish market.

Adidas and Nike would be so cool...Can see it now a new $5M dollar ad showing various clips of the worlds best athletes training hard with sweat dripping of their bodies and then showing a clip of some overweight poker player who's chewing nicorette gum to starve away that craving for a cigarette he has every 15mins.
Just do it!

Tennis players span national boundaries. I am sure if Nadal is interested in Poker then why not.

Mainstream endorsers will do nothing but good things for the game of poker. Hope this trend continues
