The Dempsey video is a joke. Nike is usually on point with their marketing but this is ridiculous. At one point Clint says something about being paid enough through soccer to buy lots of 'ice.' Is this serious? Do they really think inner-city kids will see this and say--'damn man this soccer game is cool! you get paid!'
I'm embarrassed as a soccer fan...
My favorite verse:
"Hataz want to hate, but man I'm feelin' great, thanks to SOCCER I'm 'round more ice than a hockey skate. More cash up in the bank, no need for ya'll to rake. I done took the yard and threw the trash away...Don't get it twisted, we stackin' up wealth, you think we trippin'? Check the stats yourself. I love the S-O-C-C-E to the R. It makes me act silly like a can tryin' to be a jar. Look to the stars, and you see ya fate. You gonna take this game of balls to every sports bar, it's great!"
Glad the U.S. Soccer is working again for you. I am so glad to announce that it now DOES NOT work for me again. Seems U.S. Soccer can't make Monsieur Wolf and bq happy at the same time. Bummer for me man.
I’m Charles David by name, i want to use this medium to alert all loan seekers to be very careful because there are scam everywhere, Few months ago I was financially strained, and due to my desperation I was scammed by several online lenders. I had almost lost hope until a friend of mine referred me to a very reliable lender called Dr Purva Pius ( A God fearing man) who lend me a loan of $237,000 under 72 working hours without any stress. I explain to the company by mail and all they told me was to cry no more because i will get my loan from this company and also i have made the right choice of contacting them i filled the loan application form and proceeded with all that was requested of me and to my shock I was given the loan, If you are in need of any kind of loan just contact him now via: {urgentloan22@gmail.com}
I‘m using this medium to alert all loan seekers because of the hell I passed through in the hands of those fraudulent lenders.
Thanks you Dr Purva Pius Loan service for your help.
