#JustScrewedUpBigly.

[eyeamok]

I can see the new nike ads now, kaperniknin full uniform, nfl logo and the fans in the background, close up of kapernik with nikes on burning the ametican flag with the caption “ just do it”

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Not much profit to be made from looted sneakers or by marketing to the poorest demographic.

[budj]

How about: Believe in REEBOK???

[Spok]

How long until we see “Don’t do it” t-shirts?

[ptsal]

Nike the Antifa shoe of choice

[Ronald_Magnus]

I don’t know what the political persuasion of New Balance is, but I bought a pair of their walking shoes last year and my feet have never felt better. Just a fact.

[elcid1970]

Skilletface Kaepernick with his Brillo explosion Afro pushing Nike while warning you are all racists if you don’t buy Nike’s.

Yeah, that’ll sell.

[aquila48]

“Further, Nike’s tag line, “Believe in something,” naturally raises the question: Does it matter what you believe in?”

I guess Osama Bin Laden is next in their ad campaign. He was definitely a true believer.

[moovova]

“Nike is dead to me. Just do it.”

Just done it.

[TChad]

[mom.mom]

I’m having trouble with the Kapernick “sacrifice.” It seemed more like a self-serving PR stunt which has paid off nicely.

Nike didn’t think this through.

[hinckley buzzard]

Real sports fans know Kapernick was offered and turned down a contract with SF. It just wasn’t enough for his oversized ego.

#Justscrewit

[Jack Hammer]

Jack Hammer, for one, will never again buy a Nike product. Period.

[rhinohunter]

Too bad I never buy Nike products so I can’t stop buying them.
On second thought, I may have bought Nike golf balls on occasion in the past. I’ll make sure that never happens again.

[Boomer]

Just trashed my Nikes!

May I recommend New Balance. They fit great and last a long time without coming apart.

I usually downgrade an existing pair for yard and garage work when I get a new pair. I've been using the same two pair for about 7 years now.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Nike owns Converse and Hurley International.

#Justtrashit

[W.]

Just don’t it...

[precisionshootist]

Well then you don’t count to them. It’s only people that currently buy their products or intend to that can hurt them.
