BREAKING: Nike had been paying Colin Kaepernick all along, waiting for the right moment. That moment is now, as he becomes the face of the company's 30th anniversary of the "Just Do It" campaign.

I'll be the first to make the comparison. Kaepernick is the American commie equivalent to Che T-shirts.

He didn't even have a career before he kneeled, no one cared about the bench warmer until he decided to play league monkey pregame entertainment and a mascot for the Che Guevera movement.
Nike is in the sports accessory and equipment business.
Kapernick is unemployed in the sports business.
Great strategy to hire him huh?????

I have never spent more that $30 on
any pair of sneakers.
I guess I must be the FOOL.

Just like the NFL, whose ratings have gone WAY DOWN, Nike is getting absolutely killed with anger and boycotts. I wonder if they had any idea that it would be this way? As far as the NFL is concerned, I just find it hard to watch, and always will, until they stand for the FLAG!

College chooses 'country over company,' terminates Nike sponsorship deal
The College of the Ozarks said it would "choose its country over company" by terminating its Nike sponsorship deal and removing all Nike-branded athletic equipment or uniforms, according to a report by Kansas City ABC affiliate KMBC.
The school, a private Christian college, said it was canceling the contract over Nike featuring former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick in its 30th anniversary "Just Do It" campaign.

I used to love NIKE. I remember buying the first Air Jordans.
Fuck 'em.

Yeah, bought one pair, wore em out in less than 6 months, what a waste of money.
They are, after all, cheap Chinese shit.

Yeah but they had Jordan's name on them and I was a kid. $110.00. My dad mocked me all the way back from the mall.

And Rightly so. Not to mention, just wearing the put a target on your back for a mugging.
According to the poll, before Nike announced Kaepernick as the face of its ad campaign, only 2% of Americans reported hearing something negative about Nike recently. That number increased to 33% after the announcement.
The poll also found that purchasing intent was down after the announcement.
Earlier Morning Consult polling shows that brands have relatively little upside in wading into issues that involve President Trump.
Another key finding of the poll was that Nike's favorability not only didn't improve among African Americans, it actually declined. This finding is particularly devastating considering it was widely reported that Nike decided to embrace Kaepernick, in part, to increase their already considerable appeal among blacks.

I just returned a pair of Nike sneakers to the store I purchased them from. The store manager asks why I'm I returning them after six months of wearing them. I stated, "the Nike sneakers hurt my feet everytime I stand for the National Anthem"....... :thumbsup:
Nikes new slogan "Just Blew It".

I remember buying the first suede Converse, for around 20 bucks. My father thought it was insane. I had always worn the classic Cons or Keds before that. Which were probably under 10 bucks.
This was before Jordan even thought of going to UNC, lol. Back when people were still cheering for Cassius Clay and Lew Alcindor.
Nike died from Colin Cancer.
I have several black neighbors. They think "taking a knee" during the playing of the National Anthem is perfectly acceptable. And GET THIS...they are military families. Go figure. They love their Nike shoes. Winter sneaks and summer sandals. No way would they protest buying Nikes.

Not everybody who joins the military (nor their families) is worth a crap.

They sound like Liberals, so no they don't have ethics.

I wonder whether they are regular veiwers of the NFL? Or if they just heard about it on CNN?

If it follows the trend of your usual posts, then its probably inaccurate. Soros and friends probably bought the stock in order to make it look like americans like colon.
Every time you think you have a 'gottcha' it ends up turning around and biting you in the rear. How will you handle the midterms?
