    Wait a sec just to be sure you mention someone that was noteworthy 50 years ago and now very dead and mentioned another ,…one of the greatest talents in the history of the NBA, people definitely don’t like his takes which often don’t have much legitimacy which I have seen and read regardless of politics. He has put his foot in his mouth in the past and that’s been pointed out - people don’t like the nonsense but he’s good at basketball, otoh Megan was good and now aging and didn’t do anything for VS or subway - in fact subway shop owners really hated the association because of sales so yes the buying puclic doesn’t love the wokes that hate America - it’s not a trend that is extrapolated tbh

    Breh
    The YouTubers are reacting to the news not making the news

    I already posted the Reuters article and you can look up their stock price

    it’s ok that you want angry soccer player and trans panties
    It’s just not making any money cause nobody else is buying them

    What woke people don’t understand about business
    Is that it’s about making money
    The Victoria secret people who thought this was a great idea got fired
    Like a lot of them got fired
    Why? Cause it wasn’t woke enough ?

    no it didn’t make money

    it’s like selling TVs to the blind community, they aren’t going to buy it even if it’s an untapped market

    Imagine how succesful companies could be by investing time and money on the products they sell instead of getting involved in very touchy subjects that are bound to piss off a very large group of your market anyways.... How stupid can these people be?

    People don't like his takes? Have evidence for that or are you speaking for yourself? Some random Ben Shapiro take doesn't mean "People don't like his takes."

    What evidence do you have that Megan was bad for VS?

    None of that answers the two questions I've asked about their stock price compared to their competition and how are they advertising towards women?

    These same people cheer on when athletes get political about their pet causes. Then it's just owning the WOKE!

    Shut up and dribble Lebron...wait, did Rodgers say something about the vaccine? Rodgers is so cool and standing up for the PEOPLE and attacking the woke!

    O rly!? Just in this one thread I cited below in a beautiful red hue; there are several examples of posters who ARE NOT appreciative of the nonsense/words that comes out of his mouth.

    Here’s the amazing thing …go down the list and find it…pssst I tell you a secret, …several align more on the left side of the spectrum , and ..they feel this way.

    There are also 116 different other examples I found just in a search query just on this forum but I decided pointing out something so obvious an extreme amount of times is like simply kicking a dead Victoria Secret woke ad.

    as far as evidence Megan was bad for VS? Well besides the inherent information from the posted videos and the fact The company is also laying off 160 people in management roles, about 5% of its home office workforce, which as of Q3 of this year is an attempt to try to save 40 million freaking dollars might be that “evidence” after a year of being associated with angry soccer player lol

    Exactly! And why we see what we see happening and unfortunately hundreds losing jobs to these irresponsible and bad decisions through no fault of their own just from one company.

    They get pressured into this by grifters. Basically a shake down that charges to come in and do diversity training.

    VS has been selling sexy women's underwear for so damn long.... Their product, is to be showcased on what makes the product look best. Its not "advertised to men" its advertised to women who feel like the brand will make them look sexy, more attractive and show their curves.... So what does any company do? What have companies done since the dawn of time? Show them the product on sexy, attractive and curvy women.... Pretty much saying, this is how you will look in VS.... People feel the need to overcomplicate and over think the most basic things to find fault or discrimination where there is none.

    Its like firestone advertising their sport tires and showing them in mini vans and corolla's, or video game consoles showing their systems hooked up to 24 inch tube tv's... Its marketing, you put your product on what makes the product look great, what makes people want to buy your product.

    Once they go back to the most basic of all marketing and staying out of politics or woke culture people will have interest in their lingerie, their drinks, their movies, their tv shows, their cars, their tools, their razor blades or platforms.

    LeBron doesn’t sell women’s lingerie

    @Sweet Lou 4 2 is the king of not talking about the topic because he can’t
    If the topic is James Harden, he will talk Tracy McGrady
    @AroundTheWorld @Os Trigonum

    so let me give you an example
    I like Clutchfans , so I contribute money to it

    you , well..

    @Jontro
    @Roc Paint

    maybe this will be a better example for you since the reason for this company’s fail is hard for you to comprehend

    James harden is in town and he wants to go to a stripclub and spend $25000

    this club JayGoogle’s had a reputation of hot thick women
    However the owner @JayGoogle got woke and replaced these babes with trans women and angry soccer players and regular looking chicks

    james harden leaves the club and nobody gets his $25000

    get it ??

    He goes to @Roc Paint club and hangs with @Jontro
    And they drop like $99999

    Posters? How many people do they represent? You do know like 15 people post here right lol?

    Something about correlation and causation you're missing here...can you show this is BECAUSE of Rapinoe?

    Can you read?

    So this story you're posting says the stock tumbled AFTER cutting managers and doesn't even at all blame their advertising campaign for the fall.

    IN FACT, the article you posted says that the old image they had was losing them revenue.

    Do you read the things you post outside of the headlines? Yeah, I guess not.
