My god. These fucking Nike ads are just disgusting. Over dramatic ads showing how intense professional athletes are, and how devoted and pumped up they are. Bullshit. And I'm a sports fan!

First they show people spitting. That's romantic. Then they show a hockey goalie talking to himself and making obnoxious facial gestures. Then they show Lleyton Hewitt fucking around with the strings on his tennis racket. I saw part of his match today, and he did it after like every point. That guy is a jackass. So they show all these people acting all crazy and stuff, and they play this dramatic music in the background, because it's supposed to be such a poetic thing. The thing the producers of this commercial fail to realize is that most of the athletes who do shit like that, are doing it because they are all too aware of the cameras, and the spotlight, and the crowd, and the fame, and the Nike commercials and the free shoes, and all that shit.

Do you really think Patrick Roy (a wife beater I remind you--way to go Nike!) would be twitching and blinking his eyes and talking to himself if the arena was empty, and the game wasn't televised? Of course not. Even if the crowd was there, and the cameras weren't, he probably wouldn't be doing it. I can't stand these ads. I had more to say about it, and better things to say, but I forgot already. It just sucks.
