It takes courage to stand up in the face of vitriolic opposition that are trying to change the real reason for Kaepernick's protest...and I think Nike did the right thing.

I also agree with this opinion piece.

Why Nike Did The Right Thing
Quote:

What Nike gets, however, is that sometimes standing up for principles is more important than laying down for profits.

That's what makes this country, which was already great, the shining beacon it is around the world...and a dictator's (who at a minimum try to call critics fake, at worst have them jailed/executed)...worst nightmare.

Conversely, people also have the right to protest the protest...by burning Nike products they've already purchased.

Hopefully, they're smart enough...to take them off first.
