Stand up - Speak Out

[Peadar]

Tom Humprhries and Gary Neville are bang on the money, I give it a couple of months before ultra-humane Nike bring out the T-shirts


To be fair, Thierry Henry wanted to highlight the problem so he went to Nike for help. Someone had to produce them. Henry couldn't make them himself so he asked for something back from Nike.
Neville is only having a go because of this.
He couldn't care less.
If it was Van Nistlerooy who headed the campaign he wouldn't have said a word. He's just another Ferguson clone, all mouth.

Talking about charity day's, I see that Alex Ferguson has his own campaign going here at the moment. You can buy big red noses in most shops. :D

Not knocking Henry at all; though as for your comment regarding what Neville would have said if it was VanN's idea, I think if you look back, you'll find that our Rio was the other figure spearheading this when it came out, so it's not some Arse -v- Ferg vendetta, the lad's simply saying what he believes, anyway, he'll cop enough sh1t from the PLC at old trafford as Nike are sponsors.

All I'm saying is that if Nike wanted to be charitable, they could have absorbed the cost of production. As it is it's free advertising, because the manufacture isn't costing them a penny (well, it's probably costing them exactly one penny per band).

Nike were initially involved in the Lance Armstrong campaign which was set up by the Lance Armstrong Organisation to highlight cancer survivors struggle and was the first of it's kind and IS a very worthwile campaign, speaking as someone who lives with a cancer survivor.

The other campaigns mentioned (pink, blue, red, black) are not Nike involved campaigns but campaigns that jumped on the success of the cancer research ones. The BBC in the UK were involved in the blue wristband campaign.

Nike have done the anti-racism ones at the request of 'Va Va Voom' according to the man himself and one suspects that giving the racism he encountered this year, had his sponsor been puma, reebok or adidas for that matter he would have been looking for their involvement in some form of anti-racism campaign anyway, it just happens he is with NIKE.

Ferdinand is also involved isn't he?

Correctemondo! As is RvN - in fact their is more Man Utd Players in the advertising campaign than from any other club - well played! :)

Are you sure that wasn't the bullying campaign?

That's the most ridiculous bit -

TH - "'Allo iz zat Nike? I have a problem with nasty racists, can you guys help? Merci"

Nike - "Dia duit Terry, no problem at all. Why don't we take out 2 page ads in 442 and stick Nike branding all over it. We'll get some brilliant marketing out of it and rid the world of racism forever"

TH - "Va Va Voom!"

Nike - "Wrong endorsement Terry"

TH "Merde"

Now, now WAR, you're making fun of a very serious subject.
I put on the voices when I read your post in my head. :D

Awh... I was just gettin used to the little fecker.

I was wondering tho, do people think that this campaign is one that needs funds anayway? With the livestrong one, the money went to cancer research. but with this, where does the money go? Advertising? logos? traing tops? There are a LOT of more worthy causes than this.

DeTown, any chance you could pick me one up when in london? If ya PM me your address I'll send ya an stamped addressed envelope
