Control is more valuable than money.
Like no one is going to start hating america or loving homosex because Nike says so
It's about maintenance
@DairyMaxx thank you my white racial comrade in the stuggle
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.
Reputation is everything
Nike made kind of a retarded move though, given their market
Jared Taylor signed my book with literally those exact words
😂
Thought their market was basketball Americans?
They thought they knew what appeals to their customers
Is Nike’s market basketball Americans
Apparently sprite is the official black soda, I learned this literally last week
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
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”
That's not even like a big brain take, that is unironically the reason why sprite is so popular with african americans
@ophiuchus Nike is a massive company - obviously, but the *upwardly mobile whites who are willing to buy $68 microfiber running shirts* market is desirable.
Nike makes most of its money selling shoes and athletic shorts
Or like dryfit shirts
Everyone buys those
If they feel a company operates against their interest, they can go elsewhere.
>running in a shirt
lots of competition.
Abibas is our company then
Although obviously people have recently been choosing to not buy nike shit tho lol
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
I am shameless stealing @Benis's content today
🤔
I dunno if that's _quite_ true
Maybe its just cause I'm in alabama but like everyone I know is a closet racist
^
Literally everyone
Yeah
Are they _that_ closeted about it?
No offense here, but it's Alabama
