Fuck Yea[h] NBA
This AdAge piece will make you slam your head into the wall as they decide which “brands won” during the NBA’s lockout. Fuckin’ advertisers. Here are their winners—as I wrote before—it’s all a roiling crock of shit. Kevin Durant (I guess because Rucker Park is “branding” central) Grant Hill (because of magazine covers?) Take-Two Interactive (what?—maybe I should know about this, but I don’t) Bill Simmons (is now worth enough to possibly buy a franchise—the Clippers?) Baron Davis—yeah. Supposedly he’s “teaching men to dress,” like a woodsmen. As reader @tvvin notes, “…the biggest winners are us, the fans.” That’s a winner I can get behind. There will be an NBA season for US. Fuck the capitalism involved.
