[Opinions] Re: Nike
Well, I think that you'll find there are plenty of people in living memory who know that it's the goddess of victory, and think of the brand as a further development of that concept, and aren't vitally closer to one identification than the other. A lot of people are actually educated about this kind of thing - maybe not a large percentage of the population, but certainly a sizeable one enough to include "anybody in living memory." It's totally not the same thing as Reebok at all. Having typed out that all out, I just googled Reebok and found out that it's named after a type of antelope. Plenty of people probably know that, too. Foot in MOUTH! Granted, being the name of an antelope is different from being the name of a goddess, because it's traditional to use goddess names and not antelope names. Still - gyeesh.
