#249Just saw the commercial. Was that the first time it aired on tv?
Pretty underwhelming. I was hoping to see shots of Kap kneeling and clips of the prez saying kneelers need to be fired. Maybe throw in a couple of “good people on both sides” post Charlottesville and Kap wearing pig socks.
The clips of that one handed dude was cool tho. Never seen his play before.Comment -

#258WINK News was asking local HS and colleges if they would drop sponsorship deals with Nike
The public wants them dropped, budgets won't allow for it this year (cost to replace too high)
Backlash growing in Florida and MN for sure, see it first handComment -

#261A sporting goods store in Colorado just decided to liquidate all of their Nike merchandise.
From KRDO:
Prime Time Sports in the Chapel Hills Mall has a large sign festooned on the window saying “All Nike 1/2 Price” and “Still Choosing to Stand, Just Doing It.”
Prime Time Sports has been owned by Stephen Martin for 21 years, and he realizes he could go out of business because a large part of his inventory is the collection of NFL jerseys he offers — those official jerseys will be exclusive to Nike.
Martin sent a strongly worded letter to Nike in response to the company’s decision to use Kaepernick in the ad. Martin calls the company “the mother of all harlots” for their ad campaign, calling into question their use of the phrase “sacrificed everything.”
“According to me, he has sacrificed a salary,” Martin posted in a note on the window of Prime Time Sports. The note is surrounded by pictures of fallen service members. “Nothing compared to what every soul on our ‘Honor the Flag’ memorial wall that was built a few years ago has suffered and died for.”

#262the whole argument is stupid, kneeling is about black people getting too many speeding tickets and that being punishable by death sentence, and I dont believe it has shit to do with serving our country, my son is in the corps and he could care less, he says it interferes with the game and that sucks. I really liked the message in the commercial and the commercial was awesome, if you would not have seen it on the news 450,000,000,000 times I probably would have said cool commercial and hey Kap got a job cool and MOVED THE FUKK ON.Comment -

#263My favorite part of all this is the new memes...im down with it, ironically i purchased a pair of airmax shoes about a month ago, first pair in 15 years...then this happens...nike sold out a long time ago paying kids 15 cents to make a $5 shoe that would be sold for $100 so this really shouldn't bother anyone from a business/ethics standpoint...Comment -

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...umultuous-timeman , shut up with all the whining.
its a freakin commercial. so what a fukin player kneeled to protest police brutality. newsflash, white cops are racist in America. every day some shit happens. so what if somebody wanted to appeal to the ridiculous behaviour of many officers in many states in the U.S. isn't protest something that America preaches? what happened to freedom of speech?
do you idiots know the reason kaepernick kneels. its because he didn't want to disrespect the flag by sitting after he talked to a U.S army vet who convinced him to kneel. they were both ok with it as a way to show respect while showing discontent with police force.
get over it. you people are the real dumb asses getting all worked up because of a stupid ad.
too many fat old bald headed racist guys getting their panties all worked up over nothing. get over it.

#271College of the Ozarks announced that it is choosing "country over company" and is dropping Nike over the sportswear company's use of the former NFL player to promote the 30th anniversary of its "Just Do It" ad campaign.
"College of the Ozarks plans to remove all athletic uniforms purchased from Nike or that contain the Nike emblem. Student athletes will no longer wear the brand in response to the company's new ad campaign," the private, Christian college said in a statement Wednesday.
"College of the Ozarks has stated its views regarding patriotism, the American flag, and the national anthem," the statement said, noting that in October It "revised its contracts for competition in all sports, adding a stipulation that all participating players and coaches show respect for the American flag and national anthem."
That same month, the Point Lookout, Missouri, school near Branson also unveiled a mandatory course called Patriotic Education and Fitness to encourage students' understanding of America's heritage, the nation's civic responsibilities, love of country and willingness to defend it.Comment -
