It's pretty easy for me to decide on whether to boycott Nike or not.

Bought a running shirt last week; my choices were a nice black Addidas shirt for $10, or basically the same thing but with the Nike logo for $50. Guess which I went with?

currently rocking the Merrell Moab Ventilators and love them:

Been looking at Merrell lately. I love Keen sandals, but their hiking shoes are like an oven; forty degrees outside and my feet would be sweltering in the 90's.

Are those waterproof, and if so, do they have the same problem all waterproof boots do - moisture leaks in around the tongue?

I have the low rise version of the moab (i think) and I love it

very comfy for my long narrow feet

Take a break from the MMA mania that has seemingly infected your mind.
You'll realize this isn't in the top three million things in life to worry about.

so

Anyone know what Roseann Barr is up to now? Did she ever get a record deal?

I was just listening to her on the Joe Rogan podcast. She is wack. Living out in Maui somewhere and owns some random macadamia nut farm.

I bought new shoes yesterday. I didn't buy Nike. Yeah me for being socially aware and considering the evil oppression visited upon the mma by the likes of Nike. Where can I buy an MMA Liberation Front t-shirt?


PS: What's the mma?




Edit: I just did a image search on mma and ufc. WTF! These guys don't even wear shoes! OP, r u loopy?

this is the worst reason for a boycott.

If anything, I thought it was about child labor/sweatshops.
