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

Trump will have fun tweeting about this.

Bought my last pair of Nikes more than 25 yrs. ago, New Balance is a superior product and the fit is better.

Nike must not have been listening when Jordan once said, "Republicans buy sneakers, too."

"Colon" fits him to a T.

Jiggs will still be robbing other jiggs for their Nikes and that is never not funny.

callnum: I am surprised YOU are so intent on proving your ignorance to more and more campfire members - for you to make blanket statements about another persons beliefs when you have no idea what so ever if they are true or not is AGAIN just a sign of ignorance, compounded by immaturity.
Your allegiance to the proven long term anti-American (colon kaerpernick) is puzzling and laughable at the same time.
Keep showing your stupidity and immaturity - if nothing else, its amusing.
I'll repeat for purposes of getting it through your dimwitted mental processes - I am NOT going to buy anymore Nike products or gift certificates due to colon kaepernick being "the new face of Nike's advertising"!
Now you can repeat that all you want - I told it to you, and its true. But my advice about guessing about anything else regarding my "beliefs" and "habits" is to refrain!
You are making yourself into a clown and that is beneath the dignity of a real man and any person wishing to share opinion and experiences on this forum.
While I am at it (dealing with ignoramus's!) I call on the Nike Corporation to reject colon kaepernick.

Nike loses 4 billion in market capitalization since the market close on Friday...

Since announcing their new advertising campaign will be led by Colin Kaepernick, the social media backlash has dominated the virtue-signaling efforts we presume they hoped for.

If the public backlash against other corporate brand names who have taken a vocal political stance is any indication, Nike faces considerably more pressure: companies from Dick's (which saw a sharp decline in sales after it stopped selling guns), to ESPN, to Papa John's, to Twitter and Facebook, to In-N-Out burger, have all seen an angry customer backlash - from either the left or the right - once these corporations entered the political arena, resulting in a hit to the top line, and ultimately, the shareholders' pocket.

I'm sure Nike will feel the pain of your boycott VG. Those $20 gift cards at Christmas you buy are their bread and butter.

JakeBlues: That is a sad commentary on the stupidity of the Nike Corporation - if I was a stockholder (and I am not!) I would be livid about their colon kaepernick decision as well as the stock devaluation resulting from that decision.
Sad and stupid (like callnum I guess!)!

P.C., left coast libs made a calculated gamble. They went with Kaepernick to show how hip and cool they are. They're making a play for the gheto ninja types who they recognize as their target market. And, they may be right.

That market doesn't include me, now it excludes me.

Hope they feel the heat.

callnum: You finally burped up something that makes a little sense!
Indeed I won't be buying ANY more Nike products nor anymore Nike gift certificates!
See even ignorant people like yourself can be taught some things.
He-he.

Dirtfarmer: Your observations and analysis are right on.
I think Nike has shot themselves in the shoe (foot!) so to speak.
I hope they recant on colon kaepernick - lots of traditional valued, pro-America people BUY SHOES!

I wonder how this will be handled by the colleges that have contracts with Nike to provide shoes, uniforms, and other coach apparel.

It makes me want to not watch college sports now!

Now, that's a GREAT question, one I hadn't thought of.

Yeah, watching that one play out is gonna get real interesting...

Colleges tend to be very liberal institutions, so I don’t see it as much of an issue.

Old, fat dudes give LOTS of money to colleges. 21 year old hipsters ain't paying for new training facilities.

I just counted 6 pairs of Nike shoes around our house. I will not burn them but will buy no more. I am grateful for the New Balance recommendations on these threads and for learning they are made in the United States of America.

There is a time to stand.

Dangit. I love a pair of nice cole haans, have owned many pair over the years. I guess I'll have to try something else out.

New Balance is top notch and American made.
