No offense to you or anyone who likes Nikes, but they are murder on my feet. Hence in my world they = the evil empire.

That makes no sense. People with wider feet can't wear them. How does that make the company evil? Just ignorance...

He didn't call them an evil company, he called them the "evil empire". Entirely different meaning. Entirely different context.

R.I.F.

Feel free to explain the difference.

Feel free to catch up on pop culture before calling people ignorant.

Really?

Do you have anything to back up calling a company evil because they don't make a product that fits you? Otherwise your lack of an argument is really not anything I can respond to.

It's a frickin' joke. Just like people call the New York Yankees or ESPN "the evil empire". Get a grip.

Please, come back down to earth. The company is not evil (as BNR noted).

Their shoes have never worked for me so I used a social metaphor to equate what the shoes mean to me. And sorry to say, you missed my joke. Как жаль.

Oh, yes the Yankees are the original evil sports empire.

Really Smitty? Do you really want to get this hot and bothered about this comment? First and foremost if someone wants to call a company like Nike the "evil empire" they have many reasons to do so. It was clear he was just talking about the fit those shoes are in his world. That does not apply to me, but in no way would I be offended if someone did not like a certain shoe company. There really has to be other things that upset you than this comment.

Peace

I'm not upset. Or hot and bothered. I simply asked why. Then BadNewsRef got snippy and I responded to him. It's a knee jerk reaction to think that Nike is evil - I was simply curious why. Never really got the answer, but it all went sideways so who cares. Thank goodness, though, that the world revolves around what you would be offended by or not.
