Dude, are you sure you wanna go there?

I've worn Nike shoes for like 15 years.....no more! I wear Adidas (Nastase) now. Hubby golfs, but no Nike products in his bag and Ashford on his back.
I had to boycott Starbucks this week too.....after visiting them every day since 1991. I'm good at stickin' to my guns! Im, a Taurus!

I like you for some reason, even though we disagree a lot, I'm a Taurus too.

I have only bought adidas since I was probably 16. (yes, with my own money... always worked during school vacations).
I was a Bayern Munich fan. They only wore and still only wear adidas.
My best friend, back then, only bought Puma.
Puma and adidas were actually 2 german brothers. Made sporting goods, but then seperated and made thier own fortunes with both makes. (thats what I have been told, anyways) Not going to search the net, now.
Got to head out soon.

No, I buy a specific brand/make of adidas shoes:
They need to be black leather with white stripes.
The model "Samba" came out while I was playing soccer in my teens. Loved them , ever since.
ADIDAS are endorsed by SNOOP DOGG. Just a fyi
While recording Doggystyle in August 1993, Snoop Dogg was arrested in connection with the death of Philip Woldemariam, a member of a rival gang who was shot and killed by Snoop's bodyguard, McKinley Lee; Snoop was charged with murder along with Lee as he was driving the vehicle from which the shooting had commenced. Snoop was defended by Johnnie Cochran, with his bodyguard McKinley Lee.[69] Both Snoop and Lee were acquitted; Lee was acquitted on grounds of self-defense, but Snoop Dogg remained entangled in the legal battles around the case for three years.[70] In July 1993, Snoop was stopped for a traffic violation and a firearm was found by police while conducting a search of his car. In February 1997, he pled guilty to one count of being an ex-felon in possession of a handgun and was ordered to record three public service announcements, pay a $1,000 fine, and serve three years' probation.[71] Twice, in May 1998 and October 2001, Snoop Dogg was fined and arrested for misdemeanor marijuana possession.[72] For the 2001 incident, in 2002 he pleaded no contest to the charge and was fined a total of $398.30 and a suspended 30-day jail sentence.[73]
Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound, and The Game were sued for assaulting a fan on stage at a May 2005 concert at the White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, Washington. The accuser, Richard Monroe, Jr., claimed he was beaten by the artists' entourage while mounting the stage.[74] He alleged that he reacted to an "open invite" to come on stage. Before he could, Snoop’s bodyguards grabbed him and he was beaten unconscious by crewmembers, including the rapper and producer Soopafly; Snoop and The Game were included in the suit for not intervening. The lawsuit focuses on a pecuniary claim of $22 million in punitive and compensatory damages, battery, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.[75] The concerned parties appeared in court in April 2009.
On April 26, 2006, Snoop Dogg and members of his entourage were arrested after being turned away from British Airways' first class lounge at Heathrow Airport. Snoop and his party were not allowed to enter the lounge because some of the entourage were flying first class, other members in economy class. After the group was escorted outside, they vandalized a duty-free shop by throwing whiskey bottles. Seven police officers were injured in the midst of the disturbance. After a night in prison, Snoop and the other men were released on bail on April 27, but he was unable to perform at the Premier Foods People's Concert in Johannesburg on the same day. As part of his bail conditions, he had to return to the police station in May. The group has been banned by British Airways for "the foreseeable future."[76][77] When Snoop Dogg appeared at a London police station on May 11, he was cautioned for affray under Section 4 of the Public Order Act for use of threatening words or behavior.[78] On May 15, the Home Office decided that Snoop Dogg should be denied entry to the United Kingdom for the foreseeable future due to the incident at Heathrow as well as his previous convictions in the United States for drugs and firearms offenses.[79][80] Snoop Dogg's visa card was rejected by local authorities on March 24, 2007 because of the Heathrow incident.[81] A concert at London's Wembley Arena on March 27 went ahead with Diddy (with whom he toured Europe) and the rest of the show. However the decision affected four more British performances in Cardiff, Manchester and Glasgow[82] and Budapest (due to rescheduling).[83] As of March 2010, Snoop Dogg has been allowed back into the UK.[3]
On September 27, 2006, Snoop Dogg was detained at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California by airport security, after airport screeners found a collapsible police baton in Snoop's carry-on bag. The baton was confiscated but Snoop was allowed to board the flight. He has been charged with various weapons violations stemming from this incident. Donald Etra, Snoop's lawyer, told deputies the baton was a prop for a musical sketch. Snoop was sentenced to three years' probation and 160 hours of community service starting on September 20, 2007.[84]
Snoop Dogg was arrested again on October 26, 2006 at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California while parked in a passenger loading zone. Approached by airport security for a traffic infraction, he was found in possession of marijuana and a firearm, according to a police statement. He was transported to Burbank Police Department Jail, booked, and released on $35,000 bond. He faced firearm and drug possession charges on December 12 at Burbank Superior Court.[85] He was again arrested on November 29, 2006, after performing on The Tonight Show, for possession of marijuana and a firearm.[86]
Snoop was arrested again on March 12, 2007 in Stockholm, Sweden after performing in a concert with P. Diddy in Stockholm's Globe Arena after he and a female companion reportedly "reeked" of marijuana. They were released four hours later after providing a urine sample. Pending results on urine will determine whether charges will be pressed. However the rapper denied all charges.[87][88]
On April 26, 2007, the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship banned him from entering the country on character grounds, citing his prior criminal convictions. He had been scheduled to appear at the MTV Australia Video Music Awards on April 29, 2007.[89] Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship lifted the ban in September 2008 and had granted him visa to tour Australia. DIAC said "In making this decision, the department weighed his criminal convictions against his previous behaviour while in Australia, recent conduct – including charity work – and any likely risk to the Australian community ... We took into account all relevant factors and, on balance, the department decided to grant the visa."[90]
Snoop Dogg's many legal issues forced San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom to withdraw his plan to issue a proclamation to the rapper.[91]
You said that you wore Nike for 15 yrs. and no more and now wear adidas. So it sounds like that you will not buy anything that Tiger endorses (which is your right) but I just pointed out that Snoop was a spokes person for Adidas. By the way infidelity is not illegal like drugs.
Just looked up your idol on wikipedia and found this..........
Maxim magazine has placed Năstase at number 6 on its top ten "Living Sex Legends" list, as he is reputed to have slept with over 2500 women.[16] Năstase's own guess, which was at 8-900 women, was too low for the writer of his biography who wanted a larger number, to improve his reputation, as it evidently did.[17] After hearing this, his current and third wife, Amalia, said that she was happy to have conquered such a man. Năstase met Amalia at a Sting concert and married her in a Greek Orthodox ceremony on June 5, 2004 followed by a Civil ceremony in July of the same year

Oh for pete's sake, they are just shoes......I don't care if a 10 yr. old in China made them......as soon as summer is set in, it'll be flip flops. Nastase is not a hero of mine.....I don't like tennis, or football, or baseball, or bowling, or hockey, or curling, or darts, or jai alai or Nascar or etc. etc. etc,. I just need shoes to walk in. You've wasted way too much time looking up all this ****!!!
So what is the difference between him and the Adidas that you wear from a guy that slept with 8,000 people, seems like you just want to trash on Tiger. I stated that he can play golf well and you started all this crap that your " HUBBY" don't have nike irons and all that crap. Now I look up some of the stuff you wear and find out that Năstase was a bigger player than Tiger will ever be and you tell me that I am wasting your time. You are the one who looks bad. Maybe you should move on and not tell people who you endorse because nobody is perfect.
Funny how it is your business but you put it out so everyone konws and brag about how you will not support Nike and Starbucks? If it was just your business then why all the crap talking? Maybe you should move on from Tiger, but it is funny how you will not support one adulterer but you will support another. One more thing, if you would have kept this to yourself instead of posting on this forum I wouldn't know how you spend your money or who you support, BUT since you decided to throw "THE BIG MAN" and all that other crap out their I felt it was MY right just to throw out my 2c.
