Will Nike pay for their Kobe decision?

I found it quite interesting and apropos to see these comments about a new Kobe Bryant commercial that Nike is promoting.  

 

Idea Grove says this about it:   

“Sometimes we wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, bolt from our bed linens and scream out, "They hate us for our freedom! They hate us for our freedom!"

Such is the effect of the White House's relentless use of that simplistic explanation for Arab animosity toward the U.S.

We noticed that Nike is taking a similar tack in its new
Kobe Bryant commercial, in which Kobe says of those who dislike him:

Love me or hate me, it's one or the other. Always has been.

Hate my game, my swagger. 
 

Hate my fadeaway, my hunger.
Hate that I'm a veteran. A champion.
Hate that. Hate it with all your heart.
And hate that I'm loved, for the exact same reasons. ” 


Um, these are the reasons that Kobe is hated?


How about a reality-check version:  

 

“Hate my selfishness.
Hate my lies, my infidelity.
Hate the fact that my high-powered attorneys got me off and humiliated my accuser when I was charged with rape.
And hate that I'm loved, because
only cares who wins the damn game.”   

Next post we’ll talk about Nike’s statement and Bryant’s response to how he thinks the fans view him.
