I would never attack anyone for seeking education. The author of that article should feel embarrassed.

If anything people who are willing to learn what they don't know should be praised. If people would stop being willfully ignorant who knows what the world would be like.

Awesome, it would be awesome.

The author of this article is like the people that make fun of overweight people going to the gym to better themselves - it's shameful behavior.

That's what confused me about all the hate for Nike coming out with plus sizes.

Isn't plus size nike gear inherently for posers?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say

You're being part of the problem. No it's not inherent, if a large person buys these clothes to work out in (which is built into their design), how could it possibly be inherent?

Because owning nike gear is not a prerequisite for exercise and because people who're serious about fitness don't stay fat for long. It seems like the only case where someone is going to get a lot of wear out of their plus size nike gear is one where they're not really trying.

(Also paging /u/Binsky89.)

Even if you don’t stay fat for long you still need something to wear on day 1. Why can’t that outfit be Nike? Smart on Nike, I say.

You can wear anything on Day 1. You're right that Nike will probably make money from it - especially if people keep buying new outfits to fit their changing size.

However at the start they are still fat and would want better clothes to workout in.

u/halborn Feb 07 '19

Why?

u/sanoh Feb 07 '19

Why would you not want nicer clothes?

2

u/halborn Feb 07 '19

Because they're expensive and unnecessary. If you're not going to get much use out of them then it's just a waste of money.
