I honestly don't get the reasoning, I don't think it really gains them anything

Like no one is going to start hating america or loving homosex because Nike says so

If you’re a company like Starbucks, which makes a big woo about your values and your fair trade practices, etc, and then everyone suddenly thinks you’re an evil racist company, your PR is more valuable than a day of profits.

Nike made kind of a retarded move though, given their market

Thought their market was basketball Americans?

Sean

They thought they knew what appeals to their customers

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

The Soy Goy

You need sprite to make lean

Immediately after I saw an ad for “Mountain Dew ice” which literally had a trap beat, basketballs, and a chainlink fence

Was kinda floored lmao

The Soy Goy
2018-09-04 19:45:35 UTC  

They're trying to break into the lean market lmao

Sprite 15 years ago “hey there’s no black soda yet we should hop on it for no reason”

The Soy Goy
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

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

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

The Soy Goy
2018-09-04 19:47:24 UTC  

Nike makes most of its money selling shoes and athletic shorts

The Soy Goy
2018-09-04 19:47:31 UTC  

Or like dryfit shirts

The Soy Goy
2018-09-04 19:47:37 UTC  

Everyone buys those

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

Abibas is our company then

The Soy Goy
2018-09-04 19:48:11 UTC  

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

ophiuchus
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
