    I don’t think you know what I think but I will tell you my sister is gay. I don’t hate her and she wasn’t kicked out of the family structure even tho we don’t agree but at the end of the day she is still my sister, shes gay but she also isn’t woke and Megan Rapinoe does nothing for her …maybe in your haste to continue anti capitalism you fail to understand what this thread is about. Woke athletes associating a product does NOTHING for the product. You can’t embrace hating capitalism with association with capitalism and thinking that concept works. Unless you are a once in a generation talent maybe and marginal at best

    At the end of the day what did Megan Rapinoe do for Victoria Secret besides the net effect of hundreds of unfortunate people losing jobs after a year of business association? Absolutely nothing. NOTHING means NOTHING !

    You don't agree with your sister about a trait she has no control over(whom she is sexually attracted to).

    I just don't understand how you can disagree with someone on something like that.

    Or are you saying you disagree with her engaging in her sexual desires? If so, would you do the same if someone also told you that acting on your sexual desires at any point in your life is wrong?

    I don’t think you understand I don’t agree with the lifestyle if it applied to me that’s what I don’t agree with- But do I accept her of course and I have been on record that everyone regardless of sexual status is entitled to that right

    I don’t agree with wearing suits that doesn’t mean that I believe everyone who wears suits should not exist -come on now- lol - This is the same kind of logic that got Victoria secrets going downhill fast

    You think the reason VS is going down because they are using fatter models who are less pretty?

    The strategy they are utilizing and the association of business partners in the sports realm has done NOTHING beneficial for the company

    The company was in freefall before they made those changes. Last year their net sales was up 25% over the prior year and they returned to profitability. So I am not sure the data agrees with your assessment.

    And yet Despite recent successes, Victoria’s Secret is forecasting its current-quarter revenues numbers down — in the range of $1.4 billion to $1.49 billion, compared with 2021’s first-quarter sales volume of $1.55 billion..

    So yes there is no happy consistency happening plus hundreds have lost jobs just recently

    Yes but that's still far higher than before. 4-5% decrease yoy for retail isn't crazy given the economic environment we are in and retail is the first to get cut as you head into a recession.

    See how you don’t talk about the subject ?
    @King1 @AroundTheWorld
    @ROXRAN
    Nobody even believes you care about lgbt
    And obviously you don’t understand economics

    You giving @Sweet Lou 4 2 facts is nothing dude
    He’s one of those Tracy McGrady fans who still thinks he led the rockets to a championship because of like 5 or 6 what if statements
    @King1

    the other dude, @JayGoogle knows that this marketing campaign is a failure and saw that VS got rid of 160 management people

    it’s like he’s wearing a Trevor Ariza jersey during game 7 vs the warriors

    Here's the reality.

    VS made a dramatic change to align their brand better with their customers, sales shot up through the roof by 25%, and now you have to look for some kind of minor decrease to point and say, "see wokeness is bad for business!!!" @ROXRAN faints at this.

    Give it a break at least once in a while? Can we start debating on facts and the truth instead of pushing this right-wing agenda ALL THE TIME

    @ROXRAN

    @Sweet Lou 4 2 is great cause he just auto bumps my threads

    Just realize he will never talk about the subject and it’s just like hiring one of those people to give away free samples of chicken at the food court
    Just take the free promotion
