Reebok is now added to my “Never Again” list -- along with Starfucks, Ben+Jekoffs and many others. Fuck ‘em all.

If I need to buy a brand like this and I don't want to support its stock I go to the Sally.

My theory is that millennials fresh out of college with marketing titles were hired by the usual genius MBAs to try to attract the people from said market. Unknowingly committing several mistakes: Millenials are the poorest generation alive, not all millenials are into this "progressive" bullshit and they think this is a harmless marketing effort with no chance of backfiring.
Another alternative theory is that this is a desperate brand trying to attract consumers in any possible way.

Yep. I see this all the time! Businesses trying to cater to millenials through their say their hip kale salad on Instagram when it people like my parents that are their real customer. Millenials will come once to flash it on Facebook where boomers will come over and over if they have a good experience.

WtF ... Do people have such bad manners and lack common sense that Reebok has to tell people what common sense is?
