Pretty witty, genius reply. Props to their PR people. However, the dude's initial comments were pretty stupid. Good find, OP.

Yeah because drinking gatorade would have made a massive difference. Marketing department is putting in WORK promoting that propaganda. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
If just one obese kid in America thinks that drinking Gatorade over water is the ideal lifestyle, then it's a smashing success.

Gatorade makes you sweat blue and yellow as well too, did you know?

It's the indirect effects. Think product placements.

The heat drink Powerade
>everyone sees the heat drink powerade
>their fans buy powerade, because the heat drink it
>ads, "Powerade. Trusted to keep Miami Heat Hydrated, when they need it."

All of a sudden, they grab another 10% of market share in all of Florida.

Lebron's played about 750 games in his NBA career...cramped up about 5 times or so...5 divided by 750 is a 0.006666666667 rate. so basically Gatorade is salty at the less than 1% probability they could have changed that factor :rolleyes: :facepalm

Gatorade, please explain why your sports drink still allows cramping to players while being used by NBA and NFL athletes, today? :confusedshrug:

James said he was made aware of the Twitter posts.

"I don't care about that sports group, the drink group that . . . I'm not even going to say their name," he said Friday. "I'm not going to give them a light in The Finals."

"Yes, James has an endorsement deal with Powerade. But that doesn't trump Gatorade's sponsorship with the NBA, for which it pays a reported $18 million a year to be the association's "official sports drink." Because of that deal, players on the bench have only two beverage options during games: water and Gatorade.

The NBA understands that its own sponsorship deals may clash with individual players'. So what it allows James to do is to remove the label from his Gatorade bottles (and also to use blank white towels, instead of the standard ones with Gatorade logo).

Today, the sports drink deleted its tweets and apologized.

The company’s statement, via the Associated Press:

“Our apologies for our response to fans’ tweets during (Thursday) night’s Heat vs. Spurs game,” Gatorade said in a release. “We got caught up in the heat of the battle. As a longtime partner of the Miami Heat, we support the entire team.”

Saying stuff like that is such odd behavior having to over-emphasize how much he doesn't care. I'm assuming he wasn't trying to be funny.

Is he aiming at Gatorade now? dang I missed all this lol been doing other things. But what about this?
http://www.bikebiz.com/news/read/froome-s-tour-de-france-win-sees-gatorade-out-of-pocket/015151

Team Sky uses it like crazy and won the last 2 real-est endurance contests. It's just fact most people can't even make those climbs at all, let alone at that pace. Anybody who ever did those rides in the Alps, even at any speed, knows what is up with hydration, endurance and gatorade.
Although it still remains true that black tea is better for hydration than any of these high-powered high-priced sports drinks. It just doesn't taste as good to some.

But another question is did anybody else fall out besides James? I didn't see anybody else the other night. And it's like this is the first time a team ever did that? Shoot that's been a NBA strategy since there ever was air conditioning. Couldn't even sit in Boston lots of games in the 70s & 80s almost thought they didn't just turn off the AC but turned on the heaters.

Props to Pops for exposing weakness.

Instead of looking at a sports drink known to be used by endurance/high energy athletes the world over, one could even be wondering more along these lines right here...........

https://sites.google.com/site/theallsteroidsclub/home/steroid-s-changing-shapes/my-top-5-side-effects-of-steroid-treatments

"DEHYDRATION: Helped along by profuse sweating, dehydration easily occurs with steroid use. You MUST drink plenty of water. Not only does it rid the body of toxic residue left in the system with steroid use, it also keeps the body functioning through all the changes it must endure as the steroids not only fight the MS inflamation, but take over your endocrine system, ramping it up as well."

Ish should be calling for PED testing.
Just to be sure.
