yea it would have been the exact opposite of this ad
but keep pretending like there isnt a historical legacy of portraying black men as monsters so adidas can continue to make money

Buy clothes to donate to a homeless shelter. But don't put those cheap garments on your body fam. You're better than that.

I feel you, but can I ask you to be honest? If he would have been smiling and the font/color of the word "predator" was different, would you not have an issue with it?

Maybe if they had the cleats on the poster and/or an action shot of him playing in the background.

I don't really see much of a problem with the Pogba Predator ad. That Adidas shoe line has been in existence before him. Pogba is easily one of the most marketable football players in the whole world right now and they decided to go with a sort of menacing "predator" theme. With the stripes on the right side, Pogba's facial expression, ...
I'd have to see the previous ads for the Predator line to get a better idea. When I think of the word "predator" I'm thinking of something cool and threatening, the Predator movies, ... while others may be more reminded of that same term being used to disparage black people. "Super predators" for example.

This ad is just one many in the ad campaign. Adidas actually shot a pretty dope short film/commercial with Pogba as part of the ad campaign. Not to mention the commercials like this one:
I think the disconnect is between people who know the athlete, soccer and the brand and those who don't.

If you read the rest of the thread instead of taking one post out of context, you'd understand that he was not talking about "vast majority" or "most". Don't tag me in @#%@ until you learn how to read and present arguments in English. Damn you're illiterate

Like I said before. The youth in this country play all kinds of sports and Adidas is big. I think they would put the big Adidas logo at the top and Pogba (or any athlete) together and figure it's a sports ad vs A scowling African American and the word "predator" and thinking something negative.

Can we talk about this Hillary Clinton "super predators" thing? I've linked to the source material on youtube. She never said black men are super predators. She said gang members are super predators, unless you're assuming she means that only black men are part of gangs. I'm still not Hillary's biggest fan but, it has always confused me how many people believe the "Hillary Clinton called black men super predators" story. It's kinda like the made up "Tommy Hilfiger doesn't want black people to wear this clothes story". Enough people believe it and eventually its the truth.
Maybe I'm missing some of the coded language though

You can't be serious.
People like you undermine real advocacy for social awareness and reform with ******** like this.
I got a homie that's one of the top trainers in the world right now

I'm gonna go tell him he should change his name because people might see a dark skinned black man and "Lethal shooter" and get the wrong idea.
