I quit buying Nike several years ago. Nothing's changed with me.

I quit in the mid 2000s. It was because of Fill, but now there's all the woke nonsense. I was tempted to buy some black Monarchs because most shoes suck now but I resisted.

Skechers or die, bitches.Comfy AF.

Hey Dudes are pretty soft on the feet too but strictly summer wear. They have little air holes in the soul and sometimes water seeps in.

Clearly, not for exercise/training. Fuck that shit.

Nike has always jumped in the middle of controversy.

Barkley

Woods

Kaepernick

More so it seems lately, but the stock price has always shown that the company isn’t run by dummies when it comes to selling apparel.

That said, shares down since this “announcement”.

Great companies get hijacked by this shit.

Woods wasn't a controversy. No one cares about his personal life.

Kaepernick was just a meh thing overall.

But trending this way it does fuck even the biggest companies in the long run.

Kinda disagree. Kaepernick getting the Nike contract was a big deal at the time. Front page news.

In the world of golf, Nike keeping Tiger after the affair and then a DUI was definitely controversial.

I don’t see the trans thing being a real needle mover one way or another.

Now if Nike signed a world famous trans athlete to be the face of the company, that would be a big risk, but no such thing exists so this may not really hurt them that much.

The only Nike shoes I own are my runners. Otherwise it’s Allbirds for casual wear. Nike still makes better apparel than its contemporaries and I’m not gonna wear adidas or UA just because a tranny endorses their sports bras. 🤷‍♂️

The real difference being you are asking women to be inclusive to mentally men. Much easier sell than pitching that idea on lumber jacks and heavy equipment operators.

So it seems like we basically agree, but still.

I only meant that this would be a bigger deal/more controversial move for Nike if the tranny they had hocking their leggings was globally known.

No one has ever heard of this person until he/she/it signed the Nike deal. If Serena Williams revealed she had a dick and was the face of Nike like Tiger Woods was, it’s a lot more market disruptive than I think this will ever turn out to be.

That’s all I meant.
