12th Man's feelings towards Beats

So first off I probably would never buy myself a pair of Beats because they are IMO over priced garbage, BUT whether or not I support them as a company is a different story in regards to gifts for friends and family.

On one hand I support them because hell they just sponsored Richard Sherman, and I like to support the companies that sponsor the Hawks.

But on the other hand the CK commercial made the 12th Man look like the most classless trashy and violent football fans in existence and I can't support that.

Anyone else with similar feelings?

I think the only thing it's showing is that a good chunk of the 12th Man are waaaay oversensitive. I think it's hilarious because Kaepernick still hasn't been able to block out the crowd and win in Seattle. I think it's complimentary because they chose the people that rattle CK the most to be us. I think that reading this board is more derogatory and embarrassing to 12th Man than any commercial ever could be. Way too many people here manufacturing outrage and conspiracy against Seattle, the Seahawks and the fans. Grow some spine 12s! Be more proud of what is, than whiney about what is not.

I've never owned Beats headphones and wouldn't buy any ever. I have had an HP laptop with Beats audio for a couple years now, after that commercial I would rip it out if I could. I saw Dr Dre walk out of the tunnel at the Clink for the NFCCG with the 49ers. Hope he had a nice trip back to Cali with those losers. Mediocre product at best.

I just think they are horrible and over priced and would be embarrassed to be seen wearing a pair.

Good for Sherman though...with his current contract I am glad to see him making some extra money.

Could care less about Beats but I love how they tried to form some image of Kaepernick being a unphased QB when he comes to Seattle. His career record here is 0-3 which says it all.

If I'm buying anything overpriced as far as headphones go, I'll roll with the company Beast reps.

They look better too.

This... The organized boycotting of Beats was pretty embarrassing.

Commercials rarely effect what I buy. Not really into buying overpriced junk headphones anyway. Call me indifferent.

F them them that portrayal of the 12s . Was over the top . Over priced and out their dam fool minds.

I thought the commercial was stupid but cmon, who cares what other people think. They don't like us anyways. That commercial didn't change anything, good or bad.

Living overseas I am a fan of any American product. I think they are overpriced but that hasn't stopped thousands of companies from getting rich on name and reputation.

Btw, Bose is an American company out of MA, sweet! I thought it was German

Even Baldwin and a couple other players showed hate toward the kaepnerick commercial after it first came out. I think Beats is just trying to damage control now

Probably not the first guy to say this, but I believe the Kaep beats commercial--intentional or not--was a careless insult to Seattle fans. We got thrown under the bus so that Beats could hitch its wagon to the big brand of the time. It wasn't personal, but it seemed like the 'popular' move.

Don't know that this is how it actually happened, but that Sherm ad looked like an afterthought once the Seattle WTF uproar emerged.

To the technology itself... are you kidding me? It's crap that became obsolete in the mid-90s, repackaged to look shinier and cooler, and pimped by the flavor of the month. That can't hide the fact that they might as well be recycled over-the-ear Sony muffs from 1996 with a spray job and a $400 price tag. Really couldn't disrespect Beats owners any more than I do as that is an act of extreme consumer credulity and manipulation.

Sherman gifted the team with special edition Beats

Yep...I would guess they are the same people who pay $200 for a Monster HDMI cable.

I didn't really think the kaepernick commercial was as big a deal as everyone else does, in fact as someone who drinks beers and screams my ass off at every home game I took it as a compliment.

anyone who took it as a literal illustration of the 12th man is probably reading too much into it.
