NFL wife gets licensing deal for custom-designed merch, and...

[Artificial Intelligence]

I thought we were boycotting the NFL.

Taylor ended the boycott

This is so far below the line of what anyone should be legitimately outraged about

Cmon

But she gave the jacket to Swift who the NFL has been pushing heavy since it opens a new market up for them. These crazed white girls that love her will eat all of this merch up. Sounds like a good business deal to me. I'm not sure how this is a woe is me black women are victims story. I mean I get what they're saying but you made your stuff for a different demo that the NFL isn't really catering to. That's business and marketing 101.

Were there any sistas trying to get deals with the NFL?

I get what the women are saying but Kristine is the wife of an NFL player....the only equivalent would be if an NFL breh and his wife tried the same thing and didn't get anywhere.

NFL isn't going to come calling unless you're already plugged in.

What's the problem with this, again? Seriously.

She made a jacket for Taylor Swift and the NFL gave her permission to use their license for merchandise. Some black women said this is "cultural appropriations" because of the 90s or some BS, when the actual reason is because she made a jacket for arguably the biggest celebrity in America and the NFL wants to profit off of it, Cultural appropriations

To my knowledge no. They just just complaining and showing pics of Mya in a NBA jersey dress as their evidence

Queer Latifah?!

 

[Piff Perkins]

Culture vultures.

How is this in any way comparable to making jackets out of jerseys? The closest comparison would be Dapper Dan.

Holly Robinson Peete had her own brand of clothing. I highly doubt she is the only Black NFL wife to have one. I'm curious what her opinion is on this news. I highly doubt she speaks negatively about this in public, but I bet she feels some kind of way.

Stop the outrage

Being married to a athlete going to the Super Bowl and the easy connection helped her out

Tiffany Jenkins on 125th and lenox might have a harder time because where she at and lack of connections

Im pretty sure a black woman who is married to a athlete has advantages to a lot of shyt regular sisters don’t

Someone took a men's jersey and tailored the shyt out of it. That's as custom as anything by Dapper Dan. Athletic jerseys are boxy by design, and that one is anything but.

She got the juice

 

[Canon]

black women can find a way to complain about anything on twitter

 

[RammerJammer]

I understand the frustration but the woman got one of the biggest pop stars in the world to wear her clothing at an NFL event, it’s really that simple.

 

[NYChase718]

So many things wrong in America
But shyt like this is what “infuriates” people as the last straw

That white woman Privilege is envious
