I'm just another SJW robbed of my common sense. But not the guy who said Trump is the entire reason why vaccines were approved and billions didn't die. Nope, that dude's got us all licked on common sense.
August 9, 20214 yr 10 minutes ago, Mike31mt said: I meant exactly what I said, the commercial is less about celebrating their basketball wins and more about pushing a garbage SJW agenda Again, anyone with a shred of common sense can see it, but you cant By your logic, you can't even possibly celebrate those wins because of their level of competition, amirite?

Nope, that dude's got us all licked on common sense. Trump creates new vaccines all the time. Now that he doesn't have that president job taking up all his time I expect him to cure cancer by next Christmas at the latest.

August 9, 20214 yr Nike probably employs dozens of researchers who know what will impact their target customers and use it to sell overpriced shoes. Why this is a surprise to anyone is pretty shocking to me. Nobody at Nike gives 2 ishs about the politics of it, they are simply doing what they think will sell the most product. Same with Uncle Ben's, Goodyear and Aunt Jamima. Capitalism. Make as much money as you can.

August 9, 20214 yr If I knew women’s basketball made people this mad I would’ve started liking it a long time ago.

Nope, that dude's got us all licked on common sense. Yeah, totally, none of you are triggered at all. Thats why you all had to run in here and defend an obviously stupid and cringy ad. Making fun of a stupid ad = triggered Rushing to the defense of said ad because some dudes on the internet made fun of it = totally sane and reasonable

Making fun of a stupid ad = triggered Rushing to the defense of said ad because some dudes on the internet made fun of it = totally sane and reasonable No one is "rushing to the defense” of the commercial. We were making fun of Matt "clearly picked last for kickball” Walsh’s take on the ad and other people like you who apparently have a problem admitting that the US women’s basketball team dominates the world.

Show me the womens national basketball team's equivalent to conquering Persia?

Im saying if youre calling them the greatest dynasty in human history, Id expect some great victories. Show me the womens national basketball team's equivalent to conquering Persia? There is none because they just completely outclassed everyone. Think along the lines of young Mike Tyson. He just destroyed everyone because he just outclassed his competition so much. Was he not an all time great boxer in those days because he completely smashed everyone he fought?

The women’s basketball victories in the Olympics was equivalent to the Normans victory in the Battle of Hastings.

I remember a time when all of us --no matter your poltical leanings--could simply identify the really stupid thing and go "ha ha, that is stupid!" I guess those days are gone Who said I wasn’t laughing? It’s so easy for Nike, it’s hilarious. Make a patriotic but woke ad. Wait for right wing talk radio/Twitter to find out about it and work their worshippers into a froth over it. Sit back while they share it to complain about how things have changed since back in their day. The young people they were targeting with the ad then take notice and like an ad that they otherwise wouldn’t even see, mainly because the Boomers hate it. Profit.

So you don’t think Nike’s target audience is white guys in West Virginia?
August 10, 20214 yr Clearly this ad is fantastic. People have been talking about Nike all damn day here.
