Is Nike crazy using Colin Kaepernick as their face?

[Mac4Lyfe]

Kaepernick stuck to his guns and defied the idiot President by kneeling. Him doing so symbolized how the black community gets shafted over and over again. Racism and oppression of African-Americans are two of the most important issues that continually get swept under the rug. Always been a Nike buyer and it's for this reason why I will continue buying their products. Colin stood by his beliefs and sat out while championing for equality. If this isn't deserving enough to be a role model and spokesman then you need to get your "you-know-what" together.

I applaud this move 100%. Was never Colin Kaepernick football fan, but when he fought for what he believed in, that made me respect the man.

Adder - most of these triggered pussies would never have condoned MLK protesting, nor Muhammad Ali being a conscientious objector (didn't use the bone spurs excuse), nor the fist in the air at the Olympics. These guys are the same ones that would be sicking dogs, hanging people by the necks and turning on water hoses 50 years ago.

Bottom line, this affects nike positively, not negatively or they wouldn't of done it.

They are a business, not a non profit social justice organization

Yes, businesses have never made bad decisions

imo Nike’s better off in the long run playing the middle man. Don’t get involved in politics. They’re going to piss off the nfl and a largely conservative football fan base. Trade off is the added attention whether it be positive or negative. Nike doesn’t really make anything special enough that people can’t go to under armor or addidas for. We’ll see.

Great deal for Kap, can’t blame him.

I think that when I'm carrying a gun, I won't be high, have weed in the car,.

Do you really want to know how many white guys drive a car while they carry guns and are high on weed, meth, prescription drugs???

White american men 18 to 35 years old use more drugs than all others combined... but for some reason, they don't get shot much?

Fake news^^^

Kaepernick was kneeling when Obama was in office and long before Trump took office.. Then innocent cops started to get sniper shot in the streets because of it. BLM came about then also and started rioting in the streets all under Obama...

Kaepernick has blood on his hands as far as I'm concerned.. He stirred the hate and racism pot.. Trump stepped in and now things are in order.. No more cops getting shot for no reason no more major rioting in the streets..

Thank you TRUMP!!! That's the real news and in the history books..

[Kermit]

Nike, the company that for 4 decades has had a countless number of black people killed for their shoes because of the high price tag that they put on them.

I don't remember anyone being killed over a pair of Reebok Pumps or Converse Cons.

Maybe Kaepernick can bring a change to this.

[pavyracer]

Nike means victory in Greek. They are winning with this move. Trump is fuming because his tax cuts are paying for Kaepernick's endorsement deal.

wow that is some race baiting nonsense.

Oh and btw, Obama was president when Kaeperdick started virtue signalling.

In the 49ers' final 2016 preseason game on September 1, 2016, after talking to Boyer, Kaepernick opted to kneel during the U.S. national anthem rather than sit as he did in their previous games.

Race baiters aren't really concerned with facts
It gets in the way of their delusions

[PAULYPOKER]

I dunno,

With all the Tee'd off, fueled with vein popping in the foreheads of most of the posters in this thread,
I think it's safe to say Kaepernick's winning............

They lost 5 billion today

Like I said, only time will tell if this nonsense is profitable for them

[jjgold]

It’s amazing how everybody wants trump to fail but he keeps going

All the media against him he just defies odds

[daneblazer]

Secretly, you think cnn wants trump to be re-elected?

[Kermit]

Secretly, you think cnn wants trump to be re-elected?

They helped get him elected in the first place. Lied to their followers by telling them Hillary had it ion the bag, so the lazy ones stayed home instead of going out to vote. They were Fake News before Trump gave them that name.

Everything about this is a mediated mind penetrate.
Kaepernick gets paid to represent his movement, which Nike uses to sell sneakers
that are manufactured in Vietnamese sweatshops, to Americans who think they're "woke."lol capitalism always wins.

[JJJ]

Wow this is going to blow up big time

[JIBBBY]

Secretly, you think cnn wants trump to be re-elected?

They'll probably be forced to report the real news if he doesn't get re-elected that's all I know.. They will be lost with out Trump being President.. MSNBC as well...

Folks in these forums put MLK down MUCH more than Kap. Do you want me to bump the threads??? Go look up the shit said on his birthday. Typical racist bullshit here is par for the course. These are the same dumb ass folks that hate any protest, not knowing their history, that this country was built on protest.

I would say this country was built on armed revolution.

[Mac4Lyfe]

I would say this country was built on armed revolution.

I'd have to agree with you BUT there are still a lot of examples of non violent protest that fostered change as well. But I agree that brute force does get the job done much quicker though.

All tennis shoes are made of man made material these days.......

I think they quit in the 90's ever since they figured out that their "target market"
likes style over quality..........

Then they wonder why their stinkin ass foot odor could
be bottled for fukkin teargas strong enough to peel paint off the walls............

I have a couple pair of nikes but only wear them
casually..(know my feet won't sweat)..........

Yes. Please, tell me how many. I'll wait if you have to go ask your buddy Wesley Snipes.

UAA has done jack shit the last 5 years. The stock has earned 0% in half a decade. It had a great run up until 2016 where it has really taken a dump.

Meanwhile Nike has tripled in value the last decade. I own both but UAA has been a dog these last few years. They seem to never know how to run a consistent business, even when they had a lot of opportunities.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Yes. Please, tell me how many. I'll wait if you have to go ask your buddy Wesley Snipes.

Damn, you are dumb as shit. You got pulled over yesterday but somehow your experience is typical of every American? Yeah, okay. I'm sure the police didn't find your old, fat ass, with huge man boobs, driving a Chevy Spark much of a threat. They probably didn't even give you a ticket because they felt sorry for your pathetic, sack of shit ass.

The best part about this is watching Nike trick all the Democratic Socialists who have been screaming, "FU>K CAPITALISM!!" into buying 5 pairs of their sweatshop shoes "for social justice."
