The thing about athletic wear, particularly on the apparel side of things, is that we are certainly not their target demographic. In fact they might prefer it if all white men over the age of 30 were prohibited from buying their stuff.

It's marketed toward people that literally like to make a "statement" by wearing ridiculously expensive athletic wear. Or in the case of sneakers sometimes not even wearing them at all.

So good luck but I think they ultimately know what they are doing.

I'm actually a brown guy that wears athletic gear and I have one under armor jersey so maybe not speaking for you but basically I'm less white. Also, I'm talking about the working class in general regardless of color.

Yeah I have a few under armor things too but I'd be willing to bet you're not in the target demo despite not being white. I'm talking the lululemon and Nike apparel crowd who wear their workout gear as a fashion statement. It's women, gays and young people who do this almost exclusively. Way more common among minority men too (particularly blacks but increasingly asians and hispanics and whites).

I work out primarily in sweats with basic tennis shoes or even flip flops.

Yeah, it's a corporation so I don't expect much, I gave Coca Cola some choice words too. It's good though that with this stolen election there's other tactics for breaking this woke garbage up and dismantling the narrative. Have a good day.

I sold all my UA stock a couple months back. I agree we have to do what we can. I was trying to make a point that we shouldn't expect much respect from some of these brands. Coke is different that's way more of a mainstream company that should be responsive to regular people.

I just had this realization about Nike several years back I was wondering why Nike ads were seeming so foreign and bizarre. Well they aren't selling to me and even if they were I'm not paying $125 for a sweatshirt.
