Foot Locker

I wanted to rant about this awhile ago but couldn't find the commercial until today.

I just want to know what right Foot Locker has to do this. In this commercial, Shawn Marion is dribbling a basketball when Amare Stoudemire comes from nowhere and steals the ball. What the crap? Everyone knows that these two hate each other and that the chemistry issues on the Suns were between these two. Amare was always jealous that Shawn would fill up the stat sheet and Shawn was jealous that Amare got all the attention and accolades for playing at a lower level than himself.

And then Shawn, the much better basketball player, gets shipped away for nothing. Now, they are put in a commercial where Amare is portrayed as better than Shawn since he stole the ball from Shawn.

Many of you may think that I am going over the top on this but it really just ticked me off.
Here's a link to the commercial if you haven't seen it.
