    It’s not tacky for NBA players, football players, etc. It isn’t tacky to get a Che Guevara shirt. So why is it tacky now? Because you don’t like the person?

      It is tacky to get a Che t shirt, and I’ve never seen an NBA players face on sneakers. The closest I’ve seen is the iconic Jordan silhouette.

        Beatles have tons of sneakers with their faces on them. It’s not something unheard of and people wear those because they like them.

          I think there’s a difference between a musician or sports player and a fascist dictator. You wouldn’t want to see someone wearing clothing with Hitler on them either

            … There are literally Biden shirts, what are you on about. People wear political shirts, political sneakers, have political bumper stickers. It’s not uncommon. It’s just the person you don’t like being on the shirt.

              Don’t wear a Biden shirt either. Why does a political figurehead have to be a part of your personality?

                Some people wear it, some people like to make it part of their personality. Again, just like wearing Che Guevara.

      Why do you think NBA players and football players have the same type of job as a politician? They are literally entertainers. Politicians should be running their area of politics to improve the lives of the people they represent, not sell them shit.

      Why is buying the item the problem? Che Guevara isn’t selling you a shirt. He didn’t do a deal to sell shirts. The random theoretical shirt buyer you are talking about is not the same as an ex-president, who is also running to be president again, profiting from selling merchandising like a struggling garage band.
