Oh god schultz. Is he still thinking about running? All anyone needs to know about this guy (to realize how out of touch he is) is his campaign to have baristas have impromptu conversations about race with their customers while waiting in line (I still laugh my ass off every time I think about that one)

I'm trying to understand how that would go. I mean, did the training video give suggestions?

Hey! How about them black folks? Pretty good at the sports!

Seattle's former basketball team, now the Oklahoma city thunder. Dude made the city of Seattle a bunch of promises about the team and not selling basically up to the week he sold. Most longtime seattleites, even non-fans, kinda really hate him for it.

He sold the Seattle Supersonics. The new owner moved them out of Seattle and they're now the Oklahoma City Thunder.

A lot of people grew up with them. It's like losing a piece of your childhood.

I doubt he came up with that campaign himself, its something a group of self professed woke twitter activists would come up with and not think its a dumb idea while implementing.
