Just announced by the folks at Nike that colon kaepernick will be the "new face of their ad campaign"!
I wonder if that will work out for Nike?
I know I will never buy another pair of their shoes or anymore of their clothing.
But there are lots of anti-American, anti-establishment types that do buy shoes/clothes.
Personally I don't think it will do much good for their bottom line.
We'll see.

I'm not a "Nike" kinda guy, but my daughter sure won't be getting anymore of their shoes or apparel.

It’s amazing to see corporations pick sides. Dumb but amazing.
I’ll wait for their going out of business sale.

How many blacks are gonna run out and buy Nikes now?
Or at least take them during the next riot?

Businesses choosing sides, trying to prove their worth to the liberal ideology, is not good.
It may be used to discriminate in some fashion in the future, akin to the "Jewish Laws" of the 1930's - To ostracize, isolate, and ruin those who do or join differently.
Like an athletic dept who is told they have to choose their equipment from Nike, cause the school mandates they use a company with "like" ideals (false, or not)
It kills other business, and points out those who will not cooperate. And people who dont want the scrutiny or backlash will be "coerced" to go along to avoid the "scandal"

I hope that's a very expensive lesson for Nike.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

Just hopped on Nike's customer support Chat Line (below). Asked if it was true that Colin Kapernick was going to be the new spokesman for Nike's new ad campaign? Got an evasive answer and a strong impression that I was not the first person to raise this issue. Politely explained to the chat agent that if Nike engaged CK in a public ad campaign, all of my Nike branded gear would go in the trash. And that Nike would be dead to me just like the NFL has been for the past two years. If you have an extra five minutes, rattle Nike's chain via the link below. The more negative hits they get regarding Crapperdick, the more likely they are to reconsider the ad campaign, or cut it short. Nike is all about the money. We have to provide strong clear feedback that any profit they make off the malcontent will be more than offset by the money they lose from real customers who buy sports gear for themselves, their kids, their grand kids. Take five minutes to let Nike know that this choice will negatively impact their bottom line... Nike Customer Support Chat Line

Radical blacks and liberals have taken over the sports industry.
With maybe the exception of baseball. MLB still stands and remove their caps for the anthem.

I'll never buy another Nike product. It will be fun to see both them and Dick's have their going out of business sale. Must be their strategy is to focus on the minority population....Good luck with that. Most of those don't buy they acquire.

Couldn't tell you the last time I bought anything Nike. In my serious running days, their shoes were [bleep]. Can't imagine that's changed.
