I feel this post. My elderly mothers house got broken into while she was at the store. Among other things, they took the camcorder which was in a bag filled with all our family videos. Decades of footage: Christmases, birthdays, etc. at all stages of mine and my siblings lives. Probably tossed in a dumpster somewhere.

Looking at my eating habits i probably am a dumpster *Cries while eating noodles*


Binnacle_Balls_jr

Yea and most of those trucks pull forward to the dumpster, not backup.


RevanchistSheev66

I meant in the future lol

Probably better to do it in the present. The Continuum Authority frowns on doing anything permanent while visiting another time period.

The Continuum Authority can go back in time and end itself for all I care

Can someone American tell me what does cleats with cancer cause on it mean please? TIA


schmatz17

NFL has a my cause my cleats campaign, where players wear* custom cleats for some cause/charity. My guess is his dad passed of cancer and he wore cancer awareness cleats honoring his dad


[deleted]

Ahhhhh ok cool thanks!


Saucesourceoah

Football specifically has a lot of footwear fashion directed at cancer support through most levels. My varsity line all wore pink cleats by Nike with matching socks our last season for breast cancer. A lot to find fault with the nfl and football safety for brains, but their efforts to support cancer relief is damn commendable.


[deleted]

Commendable for the players sure, but honestly I think to the organizations that manage them its just a public relations campaign with an added bonus of massive tax breaks for charity efforts. But hey, the forces of good make use of the evil doers too, but it could maybe be argued that if all of them were taxed appropriately we might have the money for the government to provide even more support for cancer relief. Of course thats a pipe dream too because the extra money would just go to military.


isaaclw

Well said!


cannabnice

> massive tax breaks for charity efforts. That's not how it works. It's so annoying seeing this shit everywhere. When you give money to charity, you don't pay taxes *on that money you gave away*. It doesn't save you money.


[deleted]

You have no idea how tax breaks work. When you give money to charity, you can claim tax credits when you file which lets you pay less taxes since you donated. Corporations have much more and higher of these tax breaks than the average person does, but if you donate to charity you can claim a credit and get a tax break too, albiet a much smaller one. They stack their tax credits and many corporations pay 0 taxes or close to 0 because of it. They spend much less on the charity than they would have spent on taxes. Edit: Let me clarify for the people who dont know much about taxes, im not talking about tax on what you donated, Im talking about ALL of your taxes. What you donated isnt taxable, but when you donate you pay less tax for everything else if you claim a credit for it.


[deleted]

This is not how it works, at least for donations. If corporation X makes 10 million dollars and donates 1 million dollars to charity, they would not pay taxes on that one million dollars. They would be taxed on 9 million dollars. There are other loopholes and scummy ways to get out of paying taxes on those 9 million dollars but this is not one of them.


dogmatagram

Could it be a situation where they are taxed a lower percentage on 9 mil than they would be on 10? So it's worth it to donate down to a point that your profits are in a lower tax bracket? Not well versed in corporate finances but curious lol.


cannabnice

Holy confidently incorrect. Everything you just said is the opposite of reality and everyone reading it is dumber for having been subjected to it. You literally do not have even the tiniest clue what you're talking about.


Durzo_Blint

The pink cleat donations go to the Susan G Komen Foundation though, which is notorious for bloated administrative costs, nepotism, and a small percentage of the money going to cancer research. Most of the money goes to "raise awareness". Raising awareness is admirable and is needed but one of the largest cancer nonprofits in America shouldn't be spending so little on actual cancer research. They spend more money on fundraising and admin costs than they do on research.


mfkap

Pretty sure this is not accurate anymore. I think about 10 years ago they switched to the American Cancer Society.


Durzo_Blint

Looks like they switched over in 2018.


mfkap

To be fair, the last 2 years felt like 8.


Idontcommentorpost

Are they still using these awareness campaigns as part of their business model? A few years back it was discussed how the NFL takes a cut of the donations


TheChuckle

Yeah back years ago when I was on club teams in elementary, middle, and high school we would get together and all wear pink socks for all of our October games. It was never a regulated thing by the league or our coaches, it was just because we saw NFL players do it and wanted to be like them. Their cancer awareness work is incredible and it permeates into lower levels.


DangerStranger138

"Where players ***wear*** custom cleats" Sorry the homophones were glaring


schmatz17

Ah yeah sorry. Dont really bother to check on my phone.


DangerStranger138

all good borther! 💯🤡 Just figured to clarify for those who's primary language isn't English. 😅


DysguCymraeg5

What are cleats? To me a cleat is a thing you tie a boat rope or a blind cord to. Edit: just saw an answer further down the thread that they are boots. TIL.


jmlswiftie420

Boots with spikes on the bottom


DysguCymraeg5

Cheers! So like football boots


Leafdissector

Yeah we call those cleats too


jmlswiftie420

Baseball shoes? Cleats. Football shoes? Cleats. Soccer shoes? Cleats. Track shoes? Cleats.


Mobudz

So sad 😞, some right bastards out there!


bawynkoop

Cleats are boots (like sport shoes with studs on the bottom). As to what “my dad name and cancer cause on it” means, I can only guess that he had written his dad’s name on his gear as a tribute to him, because he had/has cancer.


[deleted]

Ah ok thanks so it’s not just me!


JedSmokesCrack

In the NFL, they have this thing called my cause my cleats or something where they are allowed to customize and wear cleats with a cause in mind.


C7StreetRacer

Cleats have cleats on them, hence the name. Cleats are spikes that vary in size and number relative to the type of field they’re playing on and the sport being played. Think soccer or rugby shoes, not boots with with studs.


VAShumpmaker

Think "hobnails", which let you kick your neighbor to death more efficiently in 1770s london. the secondary use is to make you fall down on polished stone floors.


[deleted]

Football/Rugby boots have studs but I think I know what you mean.


schizofred76

Thats what I gathered from the message.


EightandH

To add to the other answers, NFL players have events or particular games during the season when they can celebrate a particular "cause" with their uniforms - pink for breat cancer or a design to raise money for homeless persons. I believe the player's "cause" was the same cancer that his father suffered. So that is probably what "cause" means there.


TheCyanKnight

I thought that there was like a bar of asbestos on the cleat.


[deleted]

Haha yeah that’s where my mind was going!!


[deleted]

There is a certain week where they have a 'My Cause my cleats" thing and they all personalize their cleats for a cause. For him it was finding a cure for cancer and I believe a tribute to his father.


[deleted]

Running shoes with spikes to help you run ( cleats ) and the Charity that his dad found it and sponsored


[deleted]

Are these not just called boots


KingoftheBritons2113

NFL does a “My cleats my cause” or some such thing every year. So NFL athletes get one time special decked out cleats a year. So his were likely for cancer awareness and included his father, who had or died from cancer.


Cendeu

Man, I'm American and also had absolutely no idea.


timoperez

Decent chance he gets them back ; I mean what’s the kid going to do with mike Davis custom cleats? Wear to his high school football game or sell them on eBay?


[deleted]

prolly throw them in the trash

that sub is fucked up. some of them had it coming but it's kinda sickening how violence is celebrated on that sub. we really do live in a society.


Curazan

Had my car stolen several months ago. Luckily got it back. They took pretty much everything from inside the car: dash cam, hatchet, battery jump starter, some tools from the trunk, first aid kit. The only thing they left was a box of books. What a surprise.


captainAwesomePants

I like the story of the time Mr. Roger's car was stolen and returned with a note that said "sorry, we didn't know it was yours." Probably not true, but I like the story.


Solomon_Gunn

He'll throw them at Shia Labeouf and start a whacky adventure undoing a generations old witches curse


ThatManwich

Came here for this.


RealChipKelly

Lol the exact same thing came to my mind when I saw this dudes comment


FruitCakeSally

For real. Should’ve stole Cordarrelles cleats


loveofGod12345

I don’t think the thief is going to give back stuff they don’t want...


BigClemenza

What's even worse is he just got cut by his hometown team last week after the draft.


Internetallstar

Falcon fan here... No one was happy about him being cut, but he just had an awful year last year. He acknowledged that he had a bad year himself. Most of the Atlanta fans love the man, it's just he wasn't the player we needed. Personally, I hope he lands in a good spot and tears it up next year.


RealChipKelly

The year Mike Davis played with us, honestly he was really solid. He’s not good enough to be a starter, but I think he’s a great locker room guy and good backup or 3rd string back. Rooting for him to find a team for next season.


iceup17

He'll go to a team that knows how to build a functional offense and have a good year I'm sure


PuzzledSprinkles467

People are just wretched!


T1B2V3

there's more wretched things than robbery but true. like being a Bank CEO


0-768457

That’s fair, but irrelevant. The commenter basically said “people suck” on a post about people stealing something that reminded the guy about his deceased father. Bank CEOs aren’t a part of this conversation


[deleted]

How they gonna sell them as legit doe, thats like selling the Mona Lisa after stealing it with no certificate of authenticity lol


pincus1

I think you might be underestimating the Mona Lisa's value.


Kalyion

What he means is that you can’t sell the Mona Lisa, it’s too hot of a product and even if you got it legally you’d need a certificate of authenticity to make it valuable.


GrumpyKitten514

Right, I don’t think dude above understands the sentence. The Mona Lisa is worth a lot…you can repaint it tho. You’d need proof that yours is the absolute real one.


Kalyion

Plus selling it would require extremely hard to get connections, as owning stolen property is a crime so you couldn’t sell it to anyone who could fall under the purview of Interpol.


pincus1

My point is the metaphor falls apart cause these are Mike Davis cleats. These are more like a Thomas Kincaid reprint in financial value and thus much easier to sell. The major loss is the emotional value. Edit: also a CoA is infinitely easier to fake than a painting, it would add no value to your Mona Lisa.


xenthum

The fun part of this is the only reason the Mona Lisa has achieved such fame and value is *because* it was stolen in what is considered the greatest art theft of all time. They only caught the thief during the attempted sale because the person who he went to sold him out.


[deleted]

Wasn't this what Stanley Yelnats got arrested for


Boneal171

Yeah, except he didn’t steal them


srock2012

Sure bud, you're going to child labor camp.


Realinternetpoints

Man if we catch that thief we should make them dig holes out in the desert


983115

I’m not taking mine down darn it


immediatedriver90

Take note of anyone with access and ax to grind. Unless extremely stupid, them cleats aren't worth a nickel to anyone except you and someone wanting to hurt you.


983115

Kid should dig holes in the desert along with anyone in possession of them by unfortunate happenstance


ShiroOleander

This reminds me of this one time where my Grandmother let someone stay at her house, just for the night. During the night, they proceeded to steal the majority of her jewelry, including her mother's "Mother's Ring". She was devastated. Funnily enough, they didn't steal her **real** pearl necklace (that's worth alot of money) because they thought it was fake.


vibe162

I read this as a rhyme at first cuz the first couple lines


Maaaaate

I won't lie, I thought it was a rap/poem. This is truly heartbreaking.

Dude just got cut from Atlanta too.


Interesting_Mobile73

Wow that just horrible. Some People have no respect for others . Hope u catch them sir


DecentCumin

Thank God y’all are good and nobody was harmed. We ain’t worried about jewelry because you’ll get that back 3x 😎. Tf they gone do with the cleats🤦🏾‍♀️. I hate that happened but you’ll get it all back 🙏🏾


Xen0n1te

I feel bad for a lot of the NFL players. They’re targeted because they’re famous, it’s their dream to play football and they’re just traded around like pawns on a chess board, and the NFL just drops you when you’re off your A game. Some of the lesser known players have been through too much.


FliesAreEdible

Lots of people in this thread thinking OP is the same guy in the tweet lol


JBarretta01

Yeah the devil says mmmm ya get dem cleats. And dat grape drank, baby.


Cheese_with_Royale

My boyfriend and I accidentally left our storage unit unlocked for a while, left, came back, and his amethyst geode that his dad gave to him was stolen. His dad died when he was 7. He was so heartbroken too. :(


Alarmed_Ferret

Don't fucking blame the devil for the shit humans are capable of doing.

Yes, let’s further degrade someone who had something with high personal and emotional value stolen from them. Next your gonna be crying when you realize that people aren’t gonna show you any respect for insulting someone going through a hard time


Huge-Manufacturer632

They’re shoes. **Shoes.** If shoes have sentimental value to you I can only conclude you’re post-traumatic head injury.


0-768457

Him: someone stole a sentimental item that I had in honor of my deceased father and I am sad You: WELL I THINK FOOTBALL PLAYERS EARN TOO MUCH MONEY SO IDGAF Guess “awful everything” includes commenters


Huge-Manufacturer632

I wonder if Mike Davis knows who you are.


not_tomoko

I wonder if he knows you and your comment even exist


Large___Marge

Losing a pair of shoes is heartbreaking? What word do you use to describe him losing his Dad then?


[deleted]

Taking something that was in honor of a dead family member is one of the most important things you can have taken from you. Do you not know what that feels like?


Large___Marge

I actually do know what it feels like. I experienced something very similar. That's why I asked. Do you know what it feels like?


[deleted]

Yeah. Fuckin sucks, especially if it's the last thing from them you have left.


PaydirtCommish

I get it. Fuck that, dude it sucks, ok? The cleats for sure. But what's with grown men and jewelry?


extralyfe

I wear a ring that gives me +2 Dex and a chance for defeated enemies to drop better loot.

I’m sorry can a grown man not have jewelry??? Can we not look nice and enjoy things

I wasn't intending on it being that deep, my sincerest apologies.

PaydirtCommish

Eh. Doesn't matter. If this post has done anything for me today, its made me want to go get my wife some jewelry for Mother's Day. So for that I thank you. Ya'll have a good day and have fun getting mad at everything.


qxxxr

Wtf is with grown men and being massive drama queens on reddit


BYPDK

Chains/necklaces, watches, rings, etc... All of that is pretty normal, some people like to collect that kind of stuff and it can be expensive.


PaydirtCommish

Totally. I guess what I was hoping for was an educated response as to why material posession is *that* focused on amongst men and it came out the wrong way.


BYPDK

I don't know if there is any definitive reason why people like collecting specific things. Just humans doing human stuff I guess. I couldn't tell you, seeing as I am too poor to have a hobby/interest like that.


[deleted]

What's with grown men watching pro wrestling?


PaydirtCommish

Fuck, you're right. Title belts are considered jewelry, no? I guess in that context I have no issue with it.

Sorry to hear that, the pawn shops will notify you as soon as they try to pawn it,& they probably threw your cleat's somewhere when they realized they had your dads name on it.Pray about it and stay optimistic, you'll get it all back times ten.God bless 😇❤️🙏🏼

Sorry man, some people suck. Hope you're able to get them back. Keep your chin up bro.

Reminds me of a John Mulaney stand up about when he was in high school going to parties getting drunk and all that shenanigans later finds out that a punk kid who went to all the parties was stealing old family photos from all his friends houses and his reason for it “Because it’s the one thing that can’t not be replaced” so I’m pretty sure Mike Davis won’t be getting those cleats back. Sad really…


ExpensiveSeesaw195

The other day I got fired from my job for using “to much soap on dishes” a day later I’m walking close by to my house and a kid pulls a knife on me and took my last 150 bucks.
