James,
I think you may be wrong. The "young crowd" would buy from Nike no matter what, and still may do that. All the young skulls full of mush care about is who's name is on the shoe. If some low-IQ cretin who can dribble a ball has his name on the shoe, they'll buy it. So I don't think they'll sell any more shoes to that group.
It's a stupid business decision. I have a 16 year old at home. None of his age group are into Nike, they are into Addidas. Nike is Old School.

They should have done an ad with all those Nike child and female worker in 3rd world countries making Nike shoes for 50 cents a day. ![[Linked Image]](http://creartivism.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/nike-child-labor-cartoon-just-do-it1.jpg) Exactly^^^^

All: I am not personally sure of the amount of damage done to Nike's stock yesterday - today on a "financial news" type TV show I heard that yesterday's damage to Nike was a lesser amount than what I heard and posted about yesterday.
The monetary damage to Nike yesterday alone was quoted, today by one person, as $2,800,000,000.00 (two billion eight hundred million dollars) - using either dollar figure, yesterdays hit on Nike caused by colon kaepernick was amazingly substantial.
Been to busy to check today.
Whichever amount is correct the damage to Nike has been incredible and will almost certainly continue for a while.
Now that I know what is in the hearts of idiots in Nikes management I will be spending my hard earned (and highly taxed!) dollars elsewhere.
Down with nike!

Nike went ahead with the campaign. Willing to take the losses, to make their point.
When it's all said & done, in the end, Nike will come out ahead; what the bruthas & sistas in the big cities buy waaaaaay more than compensates for whatever middle-America deosn't buy. Reality. MM

This endorsement deal is just a left-wing funding method, like a Clinton book deal.

Hey dudes,
Just wanted to like let you all know that this is totally not an 'overtly political' ad campaign. That is according to CNBC. Not sure who that is but they are like, completely, reputable and stuff. I even got that off Google. So like keep buying Nike and stuff.
My only gripe is that since this is clearly not an 'overtly political' ad campaign but rather just randomly based around a mediocre athlete is; NIKE WHERE THE FUGH WERE YOU FOR ME!?!? I was one of the most randomly mediocre dudes on my freshman football team. Did it not occur to you, at any point, that I could use the fame and fortune? Well, didn't it? Did you not see the car I was driving or the utter lack of pussy I was forced to suffer at the time?
If you just hadn't thought of this yet NIKE, I think you are on to something. Why stop at a QB no one wants when you could have a 42 yo dude that never even played varsity ball....I mean, since it's not 'overtly political' and stuff. Cause, like, if you just picked whats-his-name and random why not pick me?

I have not purchased any Nike product since the 1980s...
A couple of years ago one morning while walking the dog before dawn I found a Nike hoodie that apparently someone had put of top of their car and then driven off...it was like new and when I checked the price it was like $125.00...
I only wore it a few times but Sunday will be it's last trip...putting on a tactical match and the hoodie will be on one of the rubber dummy "hoods"...and well ventilated by the end of the day...

Just checked. Nike stock was at an all time high during the last week in August. Colin burst that bubble with his +3% slide on Tuesday. Slight rebound on Wednesday and Thursday. And then another down tick on Friday. Betting that the dismal viewership for the NFL opener on Thursday night did not help their cause.
All in all, their stock is still down 2.3% after the first week of having CK be the "new face" of their company... As above, I don't know how much that means in real dollars. But, it has to hurt...
Keep up the pressure...

So in other words, the NFL, Nike and Levi Strauss have sold out the good 'ole USA. Even a better reason to not watch or buy.
