Apparently Seahawks fans are boycotting Beats because of this commercial.

During yesterday’s Hawks-Niners match-up, Dr. Dre’s headphone company ran a particularly timely spot showing Colin Kaepernick arriving at an opponent’s stadium to vicious boos and nasty rain (see the ad above).

It was Seattle. Nothing said Seattle. Or Seahawks. But it was Seattle.

Now Seattle wants to boycott the headphones.

“They obviously don’t know what it means to be a 12th man. There is NO way a true Seahawk fan would act that way. No beats headphones for me,” reads a typical comment on the ad, found at KJR’s website.

The idea of the ad is to show that the headphones can cancel out even the loudest sounds. That would seem to feed into Seattle’s mythos of being the loudest fans in the NFL.

However, the ad goes overboard when it shows green-garbed Kaepernick haters throwing garbage at his bus, and then a full cooler. At 0:52 there may be a guy peeing on the bus.

Cue Seattle outrage.

“This is just bad business ethic. They could have shown him flying to an away game with a crying baby on the plane but instead they depicted a violent fan base of an opposing team. Not cool that they chose the colors as blue and green. NOBODY thinks this is coincidence,” reads another comment at KJR.

And the ad was unrealistic in another way: While Kaepernick has a lot of things to be proud of during his short career, tuning out Seattle’s fans isn’t one of them: He’s played terribly here in the exact rainy weather depicted in the ad. He’s just lucky his team squeaked out a win on his home turf, or this tacky ad would have been simply embarrassing.

Call the cops, but I think it is a very effective commercial. I don't care for Beats but all propers to them for marketing this as such

meh, seems like an overreaction. I think the only reason beats are so popular is because a) they have a famous guy's name on them and -even i have to admit this-, they look awesome

lol canuck fans would react the exact same way if they made a commercial and it was crosby or someone coming into vancouver

[GLASSJAW]

what is the world coming to

I don't think the Penguins have ever thought twice about coming to Vancouver.

The Canucks don't have any rivals so the commercial wouldn't work.

Similarly, 300 is my favourite movie of ever.

Sports fans are prone to being retarded

You can tell it's Seattle because those are the tears of all their fans crying about this commercial

[Grapefruits]

you would think they would boycott them because they are overpriced crap.

[pimpcurtly]

haha too bad for "Kaep" that the game isn't played on the way into the stadium.

It doesn't have to be rivals but teams where there is bad blood between them

All of the Canucks "bad blood" is one way only and a creation of Canuck fans. The team hasn't impacted itself on any other enough for there to be bad blood.

Cool commercial in my opinion.

Naturally, a Seahawks fan edited it.

Two clips, that's all the ammo they had?

I don't know, I didn't make it. Not to mention that he's only started 20 games, only a fraction of which have been vs the Seahawks.

Just checked. vs the Seahawks he's had 5 INTs and has been sacked 6 times in 3 games, so yes they had more ammo at their disposal.

I've seen political parties "attack" other political parties worse than this. Pretty sad to boycott a company over this. Either way, I doubt Dr. Dre or DreBeats cares about what Seattle/the northwest thinks, they've already hit the rest of the world.

[soshified]

They made the same commercial for KG.. wtf lol
