It appears that Shaun White had to get up a little too early for his interview with The Today Show’s Matt Lauer. Is all that late-night Vegas party action “spending time with his family” catching up with him a little. . . ?
[Editors’ Note: Turns out Shaun does say the word “Target” once in the interview. We missed it the first time. Thank you to our astute readers for pointing that out. The post has been corrected.]
Clearly the best snowboarder in the world but is he a sell out? thoughts?
He’s not selling out. he’s buying in.
Nice to see Lauer did his homework and had good questions. or better than the average non action sports journalist.
”best snowboarder in the world” (if there is such a thing)-or most recognized snowboarder in the world?
think about it.
I agree. I hear that sell out comment more and more and it sucks. He has brought a lot to snowboarding.
Comment below video is BS. He mentions target and answered Matt Laurer’s standard questions very well. I doubt ‘the editors’ will ever have the writing capacity to win any type of medal…..keep checking the bottom of lucky charms box…..one day.
run of the mill questions for stupid-ass answers of ”yeah-yeah-yeah…yeah”. boring interview (but i am digging the black dude in the backgrounds style).
and by partying in vegas, do you mean getting busted for coke and having your brother take the fall for you?
The whole purpose of that interview seemed like it was to plug his sponsors. And all he could say was…”it’s really good…ya know? I make t-shirts…so it’s really good.”
If you take his name and drop the S, H, A, U, N and T – and flip the W upside down, you’re left with “I” and “me”
That sounds about right…
The sell out topic is so lame, if you were in his shoes, don’t you think you would sell out to!? I know i would!, SELL SELL SELL Shaun, good for you, keep gettin it while you can, we know your allready set for life, but hey you might as well go for it anyway! This way when your future wife takes you for 1/2, you’ll still be set!
I heard him say Target around 3:00 or so. Could have done better with the shoe mention, but it happens. A lot. Getting up early to be on this show is not fun.
Decent questions by Matt.
Shaun White is not a sell out. He’s a success story. He is an amazing athlete in not one, but two sports, is smart and has great business sense.
The only thing that’s missing in his life is a sexy cougar to teach him the secret art tantric sex.
Shaun, I’ll be waiting for your call.
@ bill, the best sales are the most subtle ones.
Anyone know who Rocky Dennis is? I think he and Shaun are related.
Troy Michels, team leader for lifestyle marketing at Target, says plans are currently in development for how to best advertise and market the new shoes and clothes.
It seems obvious what the plan is REDISRIBUTION OF WEALTH. TAKING CASH FROM SKATE SHOPS AND MOVING IT TO A BOX STORE
I think maybe his E from the night before is still wearing off? Is that why he keeps touching Lauer awkwardly? Not White’s best interview (either for questions or answers) but he always seems to come off well. Savvy cat.
Not his best.
The kid is still the best. Saying target or not he sells the shit he endorses.
