2018-09-04 19:43:35 UTC  

They thought they knew what appeals to their customers

2018-09-04 19:43:59 UTC

Is Nikeā€™s market basketball Americans

2018-09-04 19:44:31 UTC  

Apparently sprite is the official black soda, I learned this literally last week

2018-09-04 19:44:48 UTC  

You need sprite to make lean

2018-09-04 19:45:04 UTC  

Immediately after I saw an ad for ā€œMountain Dew iceā€ which literally had a trap beat, basketballs, and a chainlink fence

2018-09-04 19:45:09 UTC  

Was kinda floored lmao

2018-09-04 19:45:35 UTC  

They're trying to break into the lean market lmao

2018-09-04 19:46:06 UTC  

Sprite 15 years ago ā€œhey thereā€™s no black soda yet we should hop on it for no reasonā€

2018-09-04 19:46:16 UTC  

That's not even like a big brain take, that is unironically the reason why sprite is so popular with african americans

2018-09-04 19:46:37 UTC  

I mean, other than orange soda, if Keenan and Kel is any indication

2018-09-04 19:46:58 UTC  

@ophiuchus Nike is a massive company - obviously, but the *upwardly mobile whites who are willing to buy $68 microfiber running shirts* market is desirable.

2018-09-04 19:47:24 UTC  

Nike makes most of its money selling shoes and athletic shorts

2018-09-04 19:47:31 UTC  

Or like dryfit shirts

2018-09-04 19:47:37 UTC  

Everyone buys those

2018-09-04 19:47:42 UTC  

If they feel a company operates against their interest, they can go elsewhere.

2018-09-04 19:47:55 UTC  

>running in a shirt

2018-09-04 19:47:55 UTC  

lots of competition.

2018-09-04 19:48:09 UTC  

Abibas is our company then

2018-09-04 19:48:11 UTC  

Although obviously people have recently been choosing to not buy nike shit tho lol

2018-09-04 19:49:11 UTC  

Nike already got beaned by abibas when abibas decided to bring Mack the retro shoes which everyone liked and Nike just ate crayons for a minute

2018-09-04 19:49:11 UTC  

I am shameless stealing @Benis's content today

2018-09-04 19:50:42 UTC  

šŸ¤”

2018-09-04 19:50:55 UTC  

I dunno if that's _quite_ true

2018-09-04 19:51:10 UTC  

Maybe its just cause I'm in alabama but like everyone I know is a closet racist

2018-09-04 19:51:18 UTC  

^

2018-09-04 19:51:23 UTC  

Literally everyone

2018-09-04 19:51:29 UTC  

Yeah

2018-09-04 19:51:35 UTC  

Are they _that_ closeted about it?

2018-09-04 19:51:40 UTC  

No offense here, but it's Alabama

2018-09-04 19:51:44 UTC  

Depends on their company

2018-09-04 19:51:55 UTC  

Also depends on their composure

2018-09-04 19:51:55 UTC  

Well i mean they won't run around screaming racial epithets

2018-09-04 19:52:04 UTC  

obviously you're not dropping hard-r's everywhere

2018-09-04 19:52:20 UTC  

Seeing a black family at the gym and making a wrong turn in Birmingham will produce different reactions

2018-09-04 19:52:33 UTC  

But if you ever talk about going to a bad part of town or if you start talking about car jackings and stuff then it's pretty obvious

2018-09-04 19:53:04 UTC  

No one will ever outright admit it

2018-09-04 19:53:13 UTC  

Yeah
