Did it really hurt the NFL? The ratings were already in decline and even with football man not stand up out of the league the ratings aren't coming back. I think the NFL is in a decline for unrelated reasons.

Colin Kaepernick recently won an arbitration case against the NFL in his favor alleging that teams colluded to keep him from playing football and awarded him anywhere from $60-80 million in damages, so I'd say the NFL didn't prevail on that one.

The Xbone launch with always-on internet DRM was an unbelievable PR disaster when military dudes started complaining that they had no way of playing the new console. Microsoft replied they should stick to the Xbox 360 because the Xbox One isn't designed for them. :laffo:

There was other comical failures with the Xbone at launch, like Kinect being part of the console and absolutely no one used or cared about it. MS stopped talking about the Kinect gradually and quietly released a console SKU sans Kinect not too long after. I wonder how much money they flushed down the toilet on Kinect.

That is such an insane amount of money that it mustve been a can't lose case for Kaepernick and if the case had proceeded the NFL or major franchises would probably get outed for actual criminal activity over the course of his getting shunned.

The first kinect sold like 30 million units and made back its entire dev cost and then some. The second kinect was part of murdering the Bone so hard to place costs on that.

Whats important here is its not PR that killed the Bone, it was hiring the guy responsible for loving up the launch of the PS3 to launch your new system who then went on to do all the same stupid loving PR poo poo he did with the PS3 with the Bone

I really wouldn't be surprised if basically any investigation would open the bloodgates of incredible amounts of illegal activity.

A local restaurant made a big stink about not showing nfl anymore 2 seasons ago and all the comments on Facebook that weren’t from boot lickers brought up the fact that they closed at 2pm on Sundays, an hour after kickoff, and were closed on Mondays.

At some point this season they went out of business. Not because of football man kneeling, but because they kept getting written up in the news for some semi serious health code violations that made the locals stop going.

Right-wing fascists are always going to be in the very vocal, whiny minority, so any idiots who agree and/or pander to them are going to suffer consequences because you can't sustain a business on bigotry and racism. See: the GOP who lost Congress and countless other elections recently in the midterms.

Sierra Mist is not a competitor to Mtn Dew as they are owned by the same company. It is a competitor to Sprite as they are both lemon-lime. Mtn Dew's competitor is Mello Yellow. I think you are the one who doesn't know what Sierra Mist is.

are you saying that I missed something obvious, and, when somebody explained it to me, I felt embarrassed and tried to save face by trying and failing to make it seem like my apparent slip-up was actually the shortcoming of a polite stranger who did nothing wrong?
gosh, sounds like I put myself in quite the pickle.
do you think I should just admit that I made a silly mistake, or would it be better to pointlessly drag it out?

Oh, another very awesome PR disaster was back in 2017 when Adidas decided to send out emails to Boston Marathon participants congratulating them for "surviving" the race. The same Boston Marathon that was bombed in 2013. Adidas immediately apologized publicly for their mistake... but how didn't they catch it in the first place??? It's hard to forget that the Boston Marathon was subject to an attack!

WWE Smackdown was one of the first mass public gatherings after the September 11 terrorist attacks, which had taken place two days earlier. embracing pro wrestling's age-old "show must go on" attitude, WWE turned the episode into a patchwork of regular wrestling storylines with public displays of both patriotism and collective grieving. it was actually a pretty successful gambit for the famously low-brow company, mostly free of controversy, save for one bit: Stephanie McMahon passionately comparing the most deadly terrorist attack in history to... her father being put on trial for steroid abuse
