I know... usually Frank posts up articles from Foxnews that piss him off... Well, I'm beating him to this one!
Nike apologizes for unofficial name of 'Black and Tan' sneaker
Sneaker giant Nike is backtracking after a St. Patrick's Day-themed shoe dubbed the "Black and Tan" by retailers drew criticism for paying unwitting homage to the British paramilitary forces of Northern Ireland.
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
Doh! Ninja'd by da 'Shark!
Jesus.....so, does every bar that mixes up a "black&tan" have to apologize.....to somebody now? Nike, grow a f#cking backbone wouldja?
Another reason why I no longer buy Nike crap, but buy and LOVE my Sketchers.

Eff Nike, can't believe what some homo's will pay for those damn sneakers, ridiculous. I'm with CM: Sketchers, Vans, Airwalks, Converse, etc. And I love me some Half & Half (Guiness & Harp), is that racially insulting to half-black/half-white folks?So even the white Irish can be whiny bitches, lol.
Yes, the world has gotten WAY TOO politically correct for my tastes. Hence my ongoing campaign to bring the word "cunt" back into regular insult circulation, like it is in Britain.
P.S. Docs are actually WORTH the $120/pair, Nikes aren't.

Agreed... Docs also last a hell of a long time. Nikes don't
I have a pair of 13-holes that are over ten years old and look almost as good as the day I bought them...
Also... got us wondering at work, what would the Al Qaeda Nike look like? I'm thinking a nice off white linen with a red sole, springy shoe laces with an LCD clock in the tongue and a nice C4 foot bed... Comfort, Cushioning, Conforming, Control... geez, get your mind out of the gutter!

Right.. And then not sent out an apology
Instead the letter would have said:
"We were going to name these shoes Black and Tans (because of the colors) but we knew some of you fucking pieces of shit would bitch about that so we just cut to the chase."
I'm pretty sure "Mexican" isn't an insult. Maybe I am just not doing it right, but I thought "Mexican" meant "from Mexico".

Then maybe they should have made the qualifier that they could be only ordered in Spanish with US food stamps...

Yeah, offensive would be more along the lines of Blood & Eggs. "Dude, why aren't you wearing your new pair of Mensies?" " They only came with one string and I couldn't tie it"
