Dude, nobody does the ‘but but but’ thing anymore



Stopped being witty like 8 years ago. The only thing you forgot to put was ‘muh’ somewheres in there

wow that's a fascinating article, I just read the whole thing. thanks for posting

I still stand by my general point, though, that everyone buys dumb shite they don't really need and it's not an inherently black trait. It's just, assuming the data in that article is accurate, fairly exacerbated in the blac community apparently.

I know too many white guys with $60,000 trucks/jeeps they use to drive to their office job every day, barely have a single scratch in the bed

Which is why I wonder why he actually WANTS to play football again. That is if one believes he actually wants to play again. Hell, he's getting rich without getting hit and despite his bullshite.

Democrats are dumb as frick. They like high taxes, prove my point? Ok sure. Example Louisiana has had high taxes for last four years the governor controls that, and he won another 4 years so another 4 years of high taxes in that state. So I am leaving to another state where better income. Another reason Democrats enjoy wasting money, Democrats have said for last years about the Russian thing and now the impeachment bullony. It been 3 years and got no where. That's millions of dollars wasted for what? I want better jobs, lower taxes better health care, and better security, better roads. These people are dumb as frick lolol u see why I can not ever vote Democrat. They bout as smart as person on crack all day. Had me wondering why Bernie says he will vote all the criminals can vote all the illegals can vote and come into USA with no problems getting in, and raise minimum wage to 15 an hour lolol lmao ur business would be broke in 2 months. Lock up every Democrat in Congress and lock up Bernie 80 year old corny piece of ****

Yo ESPN Raps!


I think theres a reason why theres a Sportscenter and SportsCenter with SVP.

Most of the network is bread and circuses for the otherwise uninformed.


The whole story is anecdotal anyway. Nike is a giant company that foreign investors feel safe stashing money in. Kaepernick had little to do with the increase in value.

Nike knows their audience. People who care way too much about brand logos and wearing sneakers constantly and collecting them

yeah for sure. I'm not even immune to it myself

I'm not into jordans or hunting apparel or shite like that, but I'm a sucker for hats, I have more hats than a reasonable person could justify owning. same with stupid ironic polos, I have probably a dozen

I work hard I deserve to waste my money as I see fit

Everyone should work at a shoe store for a Jordan launch. It will definitely change your world view.

I'm guessing a number of people have said this already, but the people who buy high-end Nike tennis shoes on a regular basis, are the same people who support Kaepernick.

My cousin (no pics) dated a black guy (also no pics) that was insanely talented and smart up and coming attorney. He owned over 200 pairs of Nike shoes, most of which he only has worn a few times, and a number of which he has never worn. He has a room in his house where he displays them all.

Huge liberal. Huge Kaep fan. I promise you he will spend the night in the line to be one of the first to buy it.
