Keeps going? Lol he’s already been elected where is he going to go? He’s doing what every other president has done on a daily basis for the last 50 years. You know what you’re doing? Helping politicians create the divide among common people so that you guys argue amongst yourselves while they do whatever they want to stay rich and benefit mostly themselves. So great job JJ(or whatever SBR employee was controlling this shift for your account)Comment -
I just became a Nike guy and will be draped out in the swoosh from now on. Not cause I give 2 Fuks about Kap but because morons that sound like Your post. Nike is smart, sales will boom, division sells as your moron president has proven. New slogan, “buy Nike, fukk idiots”.Comment -
I decided 35 years ago Nike was on my personal never-buy list. Golf shoes fell apart before I got 36 holes out of them; running shoes were, at best, mediocre.
I hope the execs at Nike gathered in a conference room yesterday to celebrate their new success. "They're burning our shirts and shoes!" "We lost 4 percent of the company's value today; keep up the good work!"Comment -
Kap is going to come out of this just fine. He's getting all of this attention, fame, and money without even having to utter a word. Donald Trump at least has to tweet to get people riled up.Comment -
Post fail... Nike will suffer and suffer big from this..
We on the cards today again Bankers? Talk to me... Capping this game now..https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/st-loui...als-380905120/Comment -

^^^Wait til the ads start airing and Trump starts tweeting... NIKE gonna get buried..
Younger generations are broke and can't afford Nike products, parents will start influencing them to not wear Nike products and they will no longer flip the bill to buy them Nike stuff.. Blacks with money will buy more Nike products though for sure..

In addition, maybe you should learn more about Pat Tillman. Everyone that knew him have said that Tillman would have been kneeling right beside Kap.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given that Kaepernick’s protest has been characterized by some as disrespectful to America’s military troops and veterans, critics of Nike’s campaign began posting photos of Kaepernick’s quote on a picture of Tillman.
However, Jon Krakauer, the author of Where Men Win Glory, a biography of Tillman, told The Washington Postthat the Army veteran would have sided with Kaepernick.
"Pat would have found Kaepernick an extremely admirable person for what he believed in,” Krakauer explained. “I have no doubt if he was in the NFL today, he would be the first to kneel. So there is irony about what is going on.”Comment -
Tillman's wife has already told you triggered pussies to back off.
On Monday, Nike announced the face of the thirtieth anniversary of its iconic "Just Do It" campaign: GQ's own Citizen of the Year, Colin Kaepernick. And as with every other time Kaepernick has earned an accolade, Donald Trump's supporters lost their damn minds.
In this case, right-wing doofuses across the Internet started angrily tweeting that Nike should instead have chosen former Arizona Cardinal Pat Tillman, who died in Afghanistan from friendly fire in 2004. It's the kind of hiding-behind-vets technique that's commonly used when political leaders want to avoid or deflect criticism, but unfortunately Tillman's family wants no part of it. And we know this because Trump already tried a year ago to drag Tillman into his attacks on NFL players like Kaepernick who protest police brutality. At the time, Tillman's widow, Marie, issued a statement to CNN asking, in extremely non-confrontational language, that Trump knock it off. Per CNN:
"As a football player and soldier, Pat inspired countless Americans to unify," Marie said. "It is my hope that his memory should always remind people that we must come together."
"Pat's service, along with that of every man and woman's service, should never be politicized in a way that divides us. We are too great of a country for that," she wrote, subtly invoking Trump's "make America great again" slogan.
"Those that serve fight for the American ideals of freedom, justice and democracy," she wrote. "They and their families know the cost of that fight. I know the very personal costs in a way I feel acutely every day. The very action of self expression and the freedom to speak from one's heart — no matter those views — is what Pat and so many other Americans have given their lives for. Even if they didn't always agree with those views."
Tillman's statement concluded: "It is my sincere hope that our leaders both understand and learn from the lessons of Pat's life and death, and also those of so many other brave Americans."
This isn't the first time Kaepernick's critics have scrambled to find a white athlete they think is more deserving of praise, nor is it the first time that family members have asked the president and his supporters to please, for the love of God, stop hijacking the memory of their dead relatives.

So to summarize Mac's two latest looney tune posts:
Someone who didn't know Pat Tillman and wrote an unauthorized biography of his life to make money says that Tillman would have knelt with Kap and his wife didn't say anything about Kap kneeling a year ago
Thanks for making us really think again Mac!!!!Comment -
Dwight - maybe you should learn more about how Nike turned around their image over a decade ago. First of all, Nike does not hire any of those workers. It's outsourced to an outside contractor (just like thousands of other companies currently do, mine as well). Companies have to manufacture their goods in countries that have a cheap labor force. That is the way of the world. The local market dictates the demand. When countries like Korea and Taiwan raise minimum wage and legislate more labor laws, companies just urge their contractors to move to other countries with lower cost. Nike just happen to fall in the cross hairs of the public but this practice is done by thousands of other companies. Since 2005, Nike has actually a good record towards better work standards. They are one of the better companies in this area.Comment -
Reading is fundamental - maggiesworstbitch
What the fuk do you think Tillman's wife meant by the following???? Sit your ass down.
“The very action of self expression and the freedom to speak from one’s heart—no matter those views—is what Pat and so many other Americans have given their lives for. Even if they don’t always agree with those views.”Comment -
Lol
Working for Nike overseas is a cushy job with great pay, benefits, retirement and lengthy paid vacations
They know their "contractors" run sweatshops because they know that is the only way these "contractors" can make any money dealing with Nike
They have knowingly and willingly exploited and oppressed people overseas since day 1 and still do
You are the only one dumb enough to believe their hype about how they have "changed"
Nike is nothing but hypocrites, just like Kap, you and the rest of the fake outrage professional victim race baiting crowdComment -
Nike is run by the same liberal boomer owners who own pro sports franchises, and they don't understand that young people are broke as penetrate.
Most of their executives grew up 60s-80s and have had steady pay or wealth their whole lives. Like nascar, MLB, or NFL, they take those old, rich white man customers for granted and think Mexicans or young people can replace that purchasing power.
Pro sports in general are going to tank without that middle class white dude buying their shit, much less nike and many other corporations.Comment
