Corporate virtue signalling is BS. Bottom line and executive bonuses are all that count.
People are seeing through it and will vote with their cash.
USA has a low literacy rate and many are easily fooled by a lying sociopathic conman who has no values past what he thinks these people want to hear.

companies were happy to peddle this BS while Blackrock and Vanguard were footing the bill. Now that the ESG money has dried up the tide is starting to turn. Expect places like Hollywood they will happily die on that hill they are the place where trends go to die.

They will be guided by money. They always are long term. Virtue signalling is a just a marketing ploy. If it proves unsuccessful they will drop it and go another way.

Well it’s been 8 or so years, and while there are signs it’s starting to fade you then see that ridiculous jaguar ad and think it’s not dead yet.

If somehow the campaign proves financially successful then they will stick with it. If it isn't, which I believe is more likely they will change direction. Corporations exist purely to make money for their shareholders. They will only persist with a losing tactic for so long. Shareholders do not like to lose money. The market will decide. It always does.

I used to be a Rogan fan and started watching UFC around 96. Had to scour the markets to find it on VHS then.
Rogan just sold his values for the money. That's how markets go. Good luck to him but his actual values are captured in time for anyone that take 5 mins to look them up.

Sounds like @Delboy describing Channel 10.

Some of his podcasts are great, some are utter shit. Most are at least entertaining, which is the game he is in.

Nah I just knew some shit was going to happen eventually. I bought and studied the Tao of Jeet Kune Do which was MMA before MMA and trained in a different art almost every day. Bruce Lee was a visionary.
One of my teachers invited a handful of students around one day and said "Check this shit out". It was UFC one.

Absorb what is useful. Discard what is not.

 

[Gronk]

My first comment was never to Bud Light, and then Gronk told us how wrong we all are as usual and we don’t get marketing. lol, you don’t think the majority of people are sick of woke virtue signally lefty’s pushing their ideology’s down peoples throats?? You must of missed the US election then.

I told you that Jaguar are trying to flip over to Apple styling and appealing to their market.

Guru marketing merkin agrees.

Do you still train? I took up BJJ and dabbled in a bit of boxing (not for me as it turns out) a few years ago, in my early 40's. I wish I had have started sooner but I probably wouldn't have stuck with it as a younger man. I used to also be a precious merkin and thought UFC was thuggery.

My body has taken enough punishment, I trained for a lot of years but not anymore. I still read and watch various teachers.
I still watch UFC. I focused on core JKD arts of Boxing, Wing Chun, Ju Jitsu and BJJ and Arnis for weapons.
I was fascinated by Catch as Catch Can wrestling but not many schools in that about. Tried a number of other arts but kept with what was useful to me.

Obviously there's a cost to the club, just as there's a cost to the player. That's how business transactions work.

Yeah... nah. There's more of a cost to the club in that arrangement, or the lack of control resulting from a player option is more costly (however you want to pedantically put it). That's how desperation on the club's part works.

It has always been a small minority of clubs and players agreeing to player/club/mutual options. In most cases they prefer defined costs rather than the undefined risk of an option. That has always been the case, including now. It's not a new thing.

Yes, but you admitting this about player options and flip-flopping on your previous advocacy about the benefits of POs is a new thing

I took up BJJ

Blow job ju-jitsu?
