OT: My Adidas

[LB99]

@LB99
Yeah. I'll be alright. I'm too young for this schit. I'm not even high risk.

My last doc appt, in June, was told I have a less than 5% chance.

I’m sorry to hear that. Hang in there. Do your cardiac rehab and get back on your feet.

@ApexLion. I had a heart attack last night... maybe that ice cream diet is catching up to me.

I should recover.

Hey, we need you! Get well, stay well.

This board has a high percentage of us who are well past 65. You don't live that long without facing some health issues. Those of you dealing with anything are not alone. Remember that.

That's the best you can do? Some of yinz are downright stupid and Bob ain't one of yinz.

Nike's US Sales Revenue - the figure that matters wrt both licensing and marketing (or "NIL") dollars, the two key components of "branding" deals for college football - was over $20 Billion last year (even with a slight downturn there)

Adidas' North American revenue (which would, of course, also include Mexico - big for soccer, and Canada) was about 1/4 of that.


Having all that US-based revenue, of course, subjected Nike Corp to a bigger hit on the tariffs over the last year or two (which is now in the process of being "refunded" - as it is for other similarly situated companies)

Since Sept 5 2025, when Penn State and adidas announced their partnership, Nike has lost almost HALF of its market value.

I mean, people can draw their own conclusions, but it's pretty clear that Nike's cleats are empty without Penn State driving the brand.
