Statement from Randy Hopper, President of Ranger Boats - theangler - 03-03-2006
Just curious what everyone's opionon of this is:
Statement from Randy Hopper, President of Ranger Boats
Based on a series of events that occurred during the recent Bassmaster Classic competition, Ranger Boats is withdrawing its sponsorship and affiliation with Mike Iaconelli. We do not believe that Mike's conduct during the tournament appropriately represents the deep-seated values on which our company was built and continues to operate.
Ranger further acknowledges Iaconelli's impressive angling achievements as well as his commitment to promoting the sport of fishing. His efforts to encourage others through the platform of fishing are a credit to his many accomplishments. While we regret his actions leading to this decision, we wish Mike well in future ventures.

Good for Ranger boats for sticking to their morals and decideing not to sponser Iaconelli anymore. He needs to grow up. Sad to say some other sponser will pick him up just for the money he might bring in.
