What about the new Nike commercials?
The Moderator AKAtude brought up how BET's charactor Cita was a negative sterotype.
What about these new "Player's Delight" Commercials by Nike that come on featuring Jason Williams (Sacramento Kings) Kevin Garnett (Minnesota Timberwolves) and Tim Duncan (San Antonio Spurs) If you haven't seen them they always come on when basketball games are on.
Does any body think that these commercials are just a little bit racist? (For the exception of Jason Williams he's white) They have animated charactors that look like the respecitve players.
The one that really disturbed me was the Tim Duncan one where they have his charactor basically looking like an ape with his arms long and his hands turned in like an ape. And please Kevin Garnett is not that ugly!! They have is cartoon charactor looking like somebody ran over his face. How could these players consent to these commercials. Don't they have enough money with their huge contracts? I thought I get different takes on the situation....
