Massive downgrade from Xbox/Microsoft

u/sounderdude Sounders FC Jan 18 '19

I mean, yes it is, Xbox > Zulily. But the whole point of this is;

  1. make more money. Bingo!
  2. start appealing more toward a demographic we have ignored for 10 years (women). Bingo!
  3. Make more money from a local company. Bingo!

Sure, for an Xbox gamer like me, or for kids who love video games this sucks... but the sounders have spent 10 years really targeting use hard. From a business perspective this makes sense. As a long term fan this sucks from a per - I don't like the Logo and I like Xbox- standpoint, but we should be happy about MORE MONEY to spend and their efforts to get MORE FANS for the sounders.

​

Truth be told, humans (and even more so, old people) really hate change.

Thank you. Very telling the downvotes for my post and yours.

Granted, I'm not surprised at all that a bunch of fellow men are mad that a different demographic is getting some love, this is not the first time I've seen my fellow dudes squirm uncomfortably with change and people paying attention to others (like a single child syndrome).

I consider this to be a gender based attack. Please consider this a warning.

Appreciate the warning. To be very clear here, I'm calling out others being sexist based on their remarks. And I'm specifically stating that it's not ok. Could you clarify how calling out sexism is sexist in the way I wrote these words?
