It's called a conflict of interest. How can he be an employee and competitor at the same time? He may use info from DK at his own company and dip in on their profits. Would you want your competition knowing all your secrets? I think not. They made a wise business decision-- that's all.

I'm sure it was in his contract somewhere that he only represents dk co. He knew exactly what he was getting into. I used to be in that industry with skateboarding and it is all stupid. People are so nit picky and way to protective of what their riders are doing and wearing. When you get sponsored, you basically become an owned walking billborad for a money grubbing company who's product is probably crappy anyways cause it was puchased from Taiwan or some other third world sweat shop factory.
