Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire colon kaepernick Is The New Face Of Nike Ads!

After yesterday’s game I just saw on ESPN the Seahawks signed Colin as a replacement for Wilson.

You do know that CK is going to win a really big time award from the NFL & it's very likely that some team is going to be forced to take him onto their roster? Likely an arbitration decision before the end of the year.

I never buy any thing with sport name

Nope, half breed. Funny though, how they all come out looking and acting like niqqers.

Nike is from Portland Oregon, what a surprise.
I haven't bought a Nike Product in over 30 years

I don't buy Nike, don't watch the NFL or the NBA, and I hope this blows in Nike's face.

But.......it won't and I'll tell you why......they will lie and deceive the public even if it doesn't go over good, and put the blame on conservative people and the GOP

Rong: As an aside, when I was a police officer in Seattle, Washington myself and several other officers were hired "off-duty" by the wonderful Warshal's Sporting Goods store there at 1st and Madison near Seattle's renowned "Skid Road".
This store had an absolutely wonderful and large gun department back then as well as a three personnel gunsmithing shop.
It also had a superb camera section with three well qualified salesmen there.
But we were hired by the Jewish owners (two brothers named Warshal) to protect their athletic shoe section from black shoplifters and grab and dashers!
We (in several years of work) never arrested anyone for trying to shoplift their "Nike" type athletic shoes who was NOT, black!
Not once, ever!
One of the Warshal brothers once confided in me that putting that athletic shoe section in his large two story establishment was the worst business decision he had ever taken part in.
It was just a constant headache trying to ride herd on the black shoplifters and on several occasions while we officers were not on duty or had to be absent for court or lunch breaks or what ever, the black shoplifters would literally "run down" the smallish Jewish salesmen/women who worked in that department and leave with the stolen "Air Jordans" or what ever was the rage at the time!
Sad commentary on the mentality/morality of "urban youth" and a life lesson I have not forgotten.
At the time Seattle's black population was just 6% of the total (nation consisted of 11% blacks back then)!
Yet those folks had to PAY for police protection of there "shoes" that they were trying to sell!
I don't ever remember cashing a paycheck from that store, even though I worked there for several years - I was always using my pay as payment on Rifles and pistols I had put on lay-a-way!
Slice of life interruption there - pardon me.
Hold into the wind

P.S. Can I add another "aside" to this story - William and Adolph Warshal (the brothers who owned Warshals Sporting Goods Store 1936 to 1985) were always wonderful to us officers who worked there for them.
One day William "Bill" Warshal asked me to come outside of the store - I went with him wondering what this little old man wanted with me outside the store.
Bill says to me, "Dale THAT is the best business decision I ever made" as he pointed across the street to the newish at the time Federal Building that occupied the whole block across from his store.
He continued "Dale I bought that city block demolished the old buildings there and then rented (leased?) it long term to Uncle Sam for his Federal Building - he's never missed a month's rent and the rent ain't cheap"!
I was in shock that he would confide in me about his personal and unknown to me business dealings - but I told him I was happy for him and tried to lead him into telling me how much the lease/rent was by saying "man I can't even imagine how much rent they pay"?
Bill just smiled and looked at me, saying, "a LOT"!
Good for Bill - he led a long and rewarding life.
And even late in life loved to play tennis - he was a member of the exclusive Seattle Athletic Club and oftne invited me to play tennis with him there - sadly I never took him up on his invitations.
Another slice o'life - pardon me please.

They couldn't have picked a bigger loser, hope the choice costs them business big time.

Most business learned a long, long time ago that it was wise to remain apolitical.

What you see with the Millennials today is a search for the romanticism of the Baby Boom generation. They've read and been indoctrinated in the romanticism that was the 1960's:

- anti war protests
- Civil Rights marches
- campus protests
- feminist movement
- moral superiority on all fronts vs. the conservative White Male

All these things signify power for the young versus the establishment, and they are lauded as times when each individual "could make a difference with their conscious". These kids have ben urged to "make a difference. Protect the environment, embrace Climate Change, go Green, even though neither real science or common sense is on their side.

That's why you see these fools applaud BLM, ANTIFA, or Kaepernick's social injustice demonstration. The media, in their never ending thirst for something (ANYTHING) to exploit jumps on such things because it is easy to own the moral high ground. It is easy to say Blacks are oppressed, killed by cops, or just have the raw deal. Who's gonna step into that quagmire of barnyard poop and argue the point? Win or lose the argument, everyone smells like [bleep] afterwards.

Dick's Sporting Goods is learning a lesson in political activism. Nike may very well get a lesson in Profit and Loss with theirs. Under Armour has been beating their ass for a decade, taking profits. Is CK the answer to Under Armour? How does Colin Kaepernick help them out? We shall see how it plays.

Other popular brands owned by Nike are Converse and Hurley.

JJR it will show up as long as they keep breeding .its in there blood

Hatari: I do NOT know what the meaning of the longest word in the English language is ("antidisestablishmentarianism"- sp?) but I think a high percentage of todays younger people are being bred and educated for reasons of anti-establishment politics!
When I was a young man if any commercial product had hired an anti-American spokesperson to sell their product that product/company would have failed miserably.
Today is a different time.
The audacity of Nike to try to use this scoundrel as the face for their products advertising, in my mind, is just assinine and irresponsible - but I am not much of a business adviser.
I fear for the future of this country.

Make sure you do this. They replied to me that their management has chosen to make no further statements on this issue at this time. I advised them that I would make no further purchases pending a satisfactory answer.

Got two boy athletes, 9 and 11 that I will be buying their clothes for years to come. No more Nike. Easy.

You just described to a fine point how the average British man felt back in the mid 1990’s. Look where that went.

Past, most often, becomes prologue.
