  • Très originelle, I'm pretty sure that we went through this a thousand times.
    Stop Google, stop Nike, stop Apple, stop globalization, stop frigging everything.

    It's called a boycott. Sweatshop workers work forced unpaid overtime, are denied bathroom breaks, are fined for talking, and are forced to take birth control. But clearly you would rather just ignore all the problems in the world rather than attempt to make the world a better place.

  • You are only allowed Crocs and Birkenstocks

    Done.

    In all seriousness though; if you don't like them investing in sport or their business practices in general, just don't buy their products. Saying x is shit & y sucks balls isn't going to accomplish much.

  • How certain are you that crocs are sweatshop free?

    Do you honestly think that was a serious comment?

  • I demand cool aid!

  • This is a forum for polo, not spouting peoples poloitical opinions. It is also a first place that people will look and it doesn't present a good image of the sport.

    And you are the one who gets to decide what is relevant to polo and what is a political opinion irrelevant to polo?

  • I demand cool aid!

    No, GET BACK TO WORK.

  • Saying x is shit & y sucks balls isn't going to accomplish much.
    This is a cycling forum, very little of anything said here will ever amount to anything, What's the problem with letting the thread run?

  • No, GET BACK TO WORK.

    They said I could become anything, so I became a troll..! (Tomorrow my weekend starts, good times.)

  • If it's desired that this thread be in forum24, then one of the mods for forum24 can let me know.

    Right. We would not want to have a discussion about whether London bike polo should engage with Nike or not. We don't want to discuss the business practices of a multi-billion pound corporation. We should all just quietly go about our business.

  • Have you though about approaching Reebok?

  • @Object I didn't call for it to be stopped, just suggested an alternative option. The problem with it at the moment is that it seems to be a half argument where the the background is missing so comes across as random ranting.

  • Reebok are in the pipeline, Kappa too.

    (The discussion happened, it's not going ahead.)

    The only problem with this thread is it's visibility (I think).

  • I like Nike - nice to identify who's a cunt without the bother of talking to them.

  • IANAR, your alternative was "Use your right of purchase power but for fuck sake don't talk about it", if the forum followed the premise of that idea then there would be very little content.

  • What about Sergio Tacchini?

  • Do you honestly think that was a serious comment?

    Do you think I was serious?

    Was this typed on a device made by Apple or any other large global corporation?

  • What about Sergio Tacchini?

    Chinese and American owners, sweatshop guaranteed.

  • If you use anything that is made by a corporation that uses sweatshops, then you are not allowed to criticize or organize against any corporation that uses sweatshops. So just don't worry and be happy!

    It was more don't post silly pictures and swear in order to get your point across but it doesn't really matter, the thread makes no sense when it's out of context away from polo (assuming the OP is angry about Nike moving into polo rather than Nike in general). If it is a general post then maybe we should stop banging on about polo & name more names & post more emotional videos etc...

    By the by, I think most of the threads on this forum are quite positive with very few that are pure whining.

    Are you sure you're thinking about threads on LFGSS?

  • I moved it, upon its deletion request, as it made no sense at the time why it existed nor why it was being complained about.

    Now that it's more than just bullshit, I can understand what the point of the thread might have been.

    You're welcome to have it back poloites. What say you?

  • OP better not own any Nikes btw..

  • I've basically just that conversation with Chukker via PM.

    BTW, hippy... if someone reports something and it's in a forum that has mods, leave it to them.

    I knew of the Nike thing, and thought they were dreaming-on. Polo has already rejected Nike stuff a few times, and to ask again at the 11th hour was beyond hopeful.
