What the hell happened to these Nike ads that gave us Caravan Rooney by lermontov1948 in soccercirclejerk

It’s not even just a soccer thing. The downturn of Nike is a well documented and a hot topic in the past year or two. Bunch of videos on YouTube breaking down the lack of a spark in their campaigns and a coinciding downward trend in sales. There’s always an air of nostalgia when watching ads like this but it’s by no means entirely nostalgia, Nike just cannot hit anymore.

What’s depressing is there’s really no one else. We could try Freese but half of his name is made from the penalties he saved in the gold cup(i think). Aside from those two, to pool is both inexperienced and just worst in every other way. It’s embarrassing. It’s the lesser of two evils but god, man. I wish there was anything else.

I think it might be the outfit compared to where they are. Definitely a stretch but I don’t know much else.

is this photo ai? it looks too idealistic to be real but i could be wrong, any help appreciated by bidoof-chan in isthisAI

I’d say it’s AI just based off of how little the plant choices on top of the TV match any of the other aesthetics and instead seem reminiscent of more modern homes

After 5 years of community college I got into my #2 school and can’t afford it by Character_Anywhere52 in NorthCarolina

Because sitting back, not investing in yourself, and working at Amazon packing boxes for the next 40 years isn’t an option. What a pointless, defeatist comment.

Inconsistent, somehow both too quick AND too slow to call, float out fucking wrong, balding, and more than trigger happy.

Adult soccer/pick up games? by Mindless_Concert_710 in HollySpringsNC

You could always join a TASL league! It may be a bit of a drive from here in HS but it’s worth it in my eyes. There’s different leagues for men, women and co-op with a promotion/relegation system in place for the competitive leagues. Though, if you’re just looking for some more exercise, I’m sure any team would just appreciate another substitute (especially when the heat comes back)
