I have seen way worse phrases on shirts worn by younger women. If I don't like it I won't wear it/buy it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-by-nikes-gold-digger-tee#post-260471 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 09:08:05 +0000 Maysprout 260471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find it a bit irritating. But I find most reclaiming of negative phrases irritating and unhelpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-by-nikes-gold-digger-tee#post-260434 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 08:32:56 +0000 MrsBrewer 260434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was kinda funny, I giggled when I saw it! I'm not offended at all by it, but I personally would never wear it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-by-nikes-gold-digger-tee#post-260429 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 08:30:40 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 260429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's really funny, but it isn't offensive to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-by-nikes-gold-digger-tee#post-260402 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 08:11:29 +0000 littlebug 260402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't wear it, but I'm not offended by it. I might wear it if I were an Olympian, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-by-nikes-gold-digger-tee#post-260399 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 08:10:31 +0000 Rubies 260399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's kinda "tongue-in-cheek"...I don't find it particularly funny but I'm not offended. Maybe indifferent? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-by-nikes-gold-digger-tee#post-260395 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 08:08:49 +0000 chopsuey 260395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha .. I'd probably wear it. :D even though I'm not a gold digger. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-by-nikes-gold-digger-tee#post-260365 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 07:47:00 +0000 heffalump 260365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. If I don't want it I don't have to buy it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-by-nikes-gold-digger-tee#post-260358 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 07:35:28 +0000 blackbird 260358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nah, I think it's just a clever pun on the term, and it tends to refer to women. Companies don't make all their shirts for men and women, sometimes just one or the other. I think if someone is offended by this, they're overly sensitive. Which a lot of people are, in this society. It's a t shirt. I see a lot of cool shirts for men, and I often wish they sold it in women's. But I don't think it's sexist-it's just marketing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-by-nikes-gold-digger-tee#post-260352 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 07:25:15 +0000 Mrsbells 260352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The main issue that bothers most of the critics is that the shirt is only available in women sizes and thus is sexist. I am nto offended by it but I dont think it was smart move by Nike.</p> <p><a href="http://shine.yahoo.com/fashion/nike-8217-sexist-8220-gold-digging-8221-shirt-163800666.html" rel="nofollow">http://shine.yahoo.com/fashion/nike-8217-sexist-8220-gold-digging-8221-shirt-163800666.html</a> </p>
