Nike
 

:boom:Would someone please let me know when Hell freezes over..... there is a Nike product I would like to buy!:ohdear:

:popcorn:

I own very little swoosh marked products anymore. That won't be changing anytime soon.

:coolsmiley:

I just got rid of my old Nike shoes and gym shorts. I will never wear anything with their logo (now V for vile) on it again!

Freedom of speech is alive. You may not agree with his message, but you have to respect his right to express it.

I agree with the boycott and won’t be buying any Nike merchandise. He has a right to express his opinion and I will do it with my wallet

Good for Nike! :thumbup:


It's not easy in this day and age...to take a moral stand.

:1rotfl::1rotfl:

Tis truly what ever is held in the eye of the beholder....

Just checked my closet. I hope Lands End doesn't hire Kaepernick. I'll have to walk around naked.

I guess wearing socks depicting police as pigs is ok also

He can express it all he wants to on his front porch or by calling a press conference, but do not do it where I “PAY” to watch a specific event, such as football or any other entertainment venue. Now I cannot watch the National Anthem on TV before football games because it offends a very small quantity of NFL players. Freedom of speech is not a workplace right. Freedom to boycott business, entertainers, athletes or anyone that do not comprehend that, is everyone’s right. I guess Nike’s 3% stock drop (4.2 billion) today confirms that. Sales decline and more stock price issues to follow. My FREEDOM OF SPEECH STATEMENT: JUST DO IT DONE WITH NIKE.

:oops: Check their stock price......

Instead of throwing away your Nike stuff, how about donating it... to some veterans?


Veterans defend Colin Kaepernick - Business Insider

Nike’s moral stand just cost their investors 4.2 Billion, with a “B” today. They forced their moral values on unsuspecting stockholders. But that’s Nike’s platform: “Just Do It”

I don’t watch NFL anymore and I will no longer buy or wear a Nike product. I guess protests work.

Money talks and mine just said goodbye to Nike.

:evil6:

or an immoral stand as in the instant case under discussion!

At this point I doubt any truly patriotic veteran would want to wear the nike logo.

Some people are burning their Nike purchases in protest. I think it was a very carefully thought-out marketing strategy.
Burning Nike gear costs Nike nothing, and it gives them free advertising.
Coldnomore thinks they've claimed the moral high ground. So far, he seems to be in a minority.

Good for Nike. They are taking the long and high road while marketing to the diverse and quite a bit more open to different viewpoints of people 35 and under market.

No need to comment on ToTV.

Communicate with your purchasing dollars.

I gonna have to break out my old gear.

I wish I knew what the protest was about and what would make the kneelers happy. Maybe I could care.

I will use all my Nike golf balls for hitting off the black tees on Palmers (Reilly)second hole

Had a really nice looking white cap that I wont be wearing anymore ..

Given that we live here in TV...no big surprise there. :D

Then again, I've never been one of those that just went along with a crowd...when it comes to my integrity and ethics.

Let's not forget (and I'm certainly not comparing myself to such a wonderful and admirable icon)...that Rosa Parks was also in the minority.

A good time for one of my favorite sayings....


:ho:

Does tiger still use nike

At the expense of their stockholders. Hang on to yours and enjoy the ride.

Nike makes Kaepernick the face of '''Just Do It''' campaign

Actually they look like a good investment. For the long haul that is.

Nike Sucks. That's a fact!

Taking a knee isn’t going to stop racial inequality or create an awareness. The only thing that it has accomplished is to p*** off a lot of people. They can say that they are not disrespecting the flag or our servicemen but in fact that is exactly what they are doing. Anyone who supports kneeling is doing the same thing.

Do you all really think Nike really cares about 'your' dollars or if you ever use their products? Seniors are not their target market; not even close. And if 'one' understood the stock market, Nike didn't lose their investors any money. The only 'losses' incurred are by investors ignorant enough to sell their holdings.

The real concern should not be Nike's marketing campaign, but why in this great country so many people feel that the oppressions faced by minorities should be ignored.

:duck:

Why is the 'disrepect' always so one-sided and angry? What about the disrespect placed upon the minorities of this country. And because I support them, why I am thrown into this 'disrespect' category.

Yep...you've hit on the crux of the issue. :thumbup:

It's a whole lot easier to try and change the narrative to one of faux patriotism...than to acknowledge the REAL reason for the protest(s).

And one only has to listen to the dog whistles of denigration when it comes to how some refer to the players themselves...to know what that real issue is. :ohdear:

Many studies have shown that younger generations are a lot less racist, bigoted & xenophobic than some older generation folks...and some people are just plain angry & scared about that. :shrug:

Sometimes, a picture really is worth...a thousand words.

FACT CHECK: Did a Football Fan Sit on an American Flag While Wearing a Shirt Reading 'I Stand for the National Anthem'?

Hypocrisy and Facts Matter. :ho:

Disrespect is one sided and angry because it is a negative word. I don’t believe all minority’s are disrespected and I don’t believe race should be a part of this discussion. This discussion should be about how you feel about a few ball players and Nike disrespecting the flag and servicemen.

Thinking NFL players are disrespecting the flag is like thinking Rosa Parks was protesting public transportation...

She wasn’t disrespecting anything she was rightfully protesting against blacks being forced to sit in the back of the bus. So in effect she was protesting public transportation.

My wife and I are also planning on boycotting Nike. They made a very bad business decision!!!

I thought Rosa Parks was protesting public transportation. She wanted to ride in the front of the bus. But, I cannot figure out what the kneelers want.
