Gold Diggers

http://shine.yahoo.com/fashion/nike-8217-sexist-8220-gold-digging-8221-shirt-163800666.html

 Personally,  I have no problem with this T-shirt but I'm also not a butt hurt PC person. Nike seems to be striking a few cords this year but I think it's only hitting a nerve with those that are too sensitive. If you don't like the shirt then don't buy it. PERIOD.

Re: Gold Diggers

  • People get offended by everything these days. It's not the best slogan, but certainly not the worst!
  • I agree. People these days are too senstive and get offended too easily. Honestly, when I saw the shirt, I thought nothing of it. I didn't see it negitively. Perhaps Nike could have had said it in a different way, but their shirts are short and to the point. People were also offended by the over weight kid running. I actually saw it as inspiring, as "hey, this kid is taking control of his life." People just need to take a chill pill and relax a little and not get so offended.

    Exactly! People are always just looking for something to be angry about :/

  • I read the title and thought, some juicy story about a gold digger. It's just a slogan on a shirt. NBD to me. Could have been phrased better so it was more pc or less sexist I guess. I guess if they made it in men's sizes it wouldn't be as much of an issue? 
  • So they have this slogan on men's shirts, too?

    From what I understand it's only on the womens.

  • I agree, people who get offended over this type of thing really need to get over themselves.  Of all the cruelty and injustice in the world, THIS is what you are getting your panties in a bunch over?  Grow up and get over it, people!

    yes it is only offered for women and I think that is why people are so upset about it. I personally am not offended, but if it didnt come out around the olympics I probably would have questioned the intent ...
