I like the guys saying that it should be Pat Tillman instead. You know, the guy that his fellow soldiers loved so much for not letting them forget that his sacrifice was so much more than theirs that they gave him some free bullets in the the back as a present.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...m=.d9f86298935f

quote:

Last week, not even a full 24 hours after President-elect Donald Trump earned that title, a senior official for the shoe company New Balance invoked his name in an interview.

“The Obama administration turned a deaf ear to us and frankly, with President-elect Trump, we feel things are going to move in the right direction,” Matthew LeBretton, New Balance’s vice president of public affairs, told the Wall Street Journal.

“So the fact that he’s a racist and wholly unfit for the presidency didn’t bother them?” tweeted one woman. “All about profit.”

“I have been wearing New Balance shoes (at $160/pair) for the past 10 years,” wrote another. “If they support Trump, I’ve bought my last pair.”

All this, however, did not stop one more dividing force from smearing the New Balance brand.

In a post written over the weekend, neo-Nazi blogger Andrew Anglin declared New Balance the “Official Shoes of White People.”

“I’m a Nike guy. Or rather, I was,” Anglin wrote on his popular website the Daily Stormer, which promotes an anti-Semitic, white supremacist agenda. “It’s time to get on-board with New Balance now. Their brave act has just made them the official brand of the Trump Revolution.”

He tells his readers New Balance is now their “uniform” and claims they should view the company’s statement on Trump — taken out of context — as “a gesture to support White people and to support US manufacturing.” He also wrote that he believed it was all a marketing scheme to gain customers who voted for Trump.

“This will be fantastic,” Anglin wrote. “We will be able to recognize one another by our sportswear.”

I've run in Asics for the past 10+ years so no big loss. I liked New Balance's retro sneakers but as of late I've found Nike Internationalists (https://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pw/mens-internationalist/7puZpbc) to be fantastic as far as that shoe type goes.

I've been running in Brooks since high school in the 90s and I am not changing for anything short of genocide, especially since they're so good for my flat as hell feet. No shoe maker is really "good" so whatevs.

Same goes for any global corporation really.

I mean I'm training with a pair of new balances right now. I'm not gonna burn them over any of this poo poo, I'm just gonna avoid buying from them now on. If anyone else wants to buy their stuff, by all means go nuts. I'm not losing sleep over it.

I'll stick with what works unless they go full Nazi. I've got wide feet so that makes finding good shoes a bit more difficult. Comfortable shoes are kind of a must have. Little different than refusing to eat at Chik-Fil-A, or Papa Johns.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Brooks Addictions are the best shoes I've ever had. And they not only work for flat feet, but they come in 2E width.

Yeah as far as I was aware he was sliding pretty far left and anti war before he died. So I definitely agree he would have been villanized.

I'll just keep buying Salamons. It's been over 15 years since my last pair of NBs.

New balance can't be an issued shoe because they make you buy your drat shoes at boot camp. Cut you loose with an advanced pay card to buy your preferred poo poo in a PXtra, with all of five styles of shoes to choose from.

It's too goddamn difficult to keep up with what companies give money to poo poo people/causes. Just wear what fits right. Goddamn.
