As I've been living in Germany for the past 12 years, I can confirm that yes, they can be that petty. It's like a matter of pride they won't talk about. Even so, they must have had a prior conflict that involved multiple parties for it to escalate so terribly. In the end they're brothers so something more than rivalry was the straw that broke the camels back.

[@Metroid250]

The pettiness is REAL. I used to work at Customer Service for AIDA for about 2 years and I noticed their pettiness can be over-the-top sometimes. It's humorous though because I see a bunch of salty seniors. I was never bored at my job, I wish to go there again 😌

In my footballing days, everyone wore Adidas, and Nike boots. So I always went for Puma, Diadora, and Lotto to be different. Puma is much more popular now than back in the 1990's, it was still kind of niche back then. Diadora is really out there, and basically impossible to find now, at least in the United States, hence why I order mine directly from the company in Italy. Yes, I still wear indoor football boots as my casual sneakers even in my 40's...once a footballer always a footballer.

That's because you earn your own money. It appears that most of the "brand loyal" people commenting here are kids who live with mummy and daddy and don't have to pay for their own stuff.

@@Dave_Sisson I'm a package courier who works 10 hours a day on my feet. Same thing with cars you know I'm not loyal to a brand I'll just buy whatever I can afford I don't want to have a car payment either. And with shoes I can get by with a $40 shoe from Walmart and a $20 Dr Scholl insert and they'll just be as comfortable as any $200 $300 plus shoe Which reminds me I got to get some shoes. My current sketcher boots have no soles and filled with holes lol

Interesting feud, but I'll stick to my Nikes. I've worn either Adidas or Puma for most of my childhood and I've found both to be kinda prone to tears and sole cracks. But if I had to pick one, Pumas always felt like better value and had cooler designs, plus they make really great driving shoes and motorsports merch, so they'd be my go-to.

The way Americans pronounce Adidas: A-Deed-is The way Europeans pronounce Adidas: Addy-Dass

[@eksortso]

Yup. Americans pronounce Adidas the wrong way but Nike the right way. Relative to how the original names were pronounced.

Looking at the struggles that Under Armour has had recently, if I'm Puma and want get bigger I would approach them about a merger and rename the new company Puma Armour.

How efficiently do you think they can work?

And I’m here wearing an Adidas hoodie with Puma shoes

[@spyronos]

I'm watching this wearing Adidas shorts, hell all my shorts are Adidas. I have Adidas stuff because I hate Nike stuff. Puma is for Europeans and Dads.

[@mechajay3358]

This is more of a long standing sibling rivalry between Addias and Puma. The business rivalry just added extra.

You know, that “thanks for watching” sounded a little disingenuous, so I think I’ll be taking my half of Company Man and starting my own channel called Business Dudez
