It’s a good thing Nike was not around during the American Revolution.
If the ciphers who run the shoe company were in charge back then we’d all be bowing to Queen Elizabeth and carrying Prince William’s luggage around, which includes Meghan Markle, the Duchesse of Essex, Sussex, Middlesex, Wessex and Whatever.
Blimey, these blokes are so bad that they can’t even stand up for the American flag, let alone to the fuzzy- brained Colin Kaepernick, who is doing for Nike what he did for the San Francisco 49ers: help them lose.

I know it won’t affect Nike, but they won’t see another dime from me, and it was a substantial dime in the past years.
Pretty sure Loyalist businesses that could be “reached” felt the wrath of “our guys”. War is war, after all.
LOL!!
On THIS, I will email EVERY family member.
We’re talking 41 first cousins, all with kids and a number of those kids have kids.
GOD I got old!!!!!
Flip side of 50 this past May :(
Anyway, rot in hell Nike.
Funny though, Chick Fill A, amazon and others on both sides of the spectrum are thriving among those with opposing beliefs.
The Chick Fill A’s in NYC are INSANELY busy. I’ve seen the makeup of the lines.
That ain’t all imports from the suburbs.
And sadly I must admit I use amazon wayyy too much.
Target, budweiser and Gillette, however, are dead to me.
I guess you pick and choose your battles.
We all do the best we can but I feel relatively certain that Gillette will feel the pain. It may be like eating a ghost pepper where the worst of it is hours later since folks like you and me may take months to restock with the competition. But a couple hundred thousand of us is gonna leave a hole.
The sad thing is, though, there often aren’t battles.
My bet is that the boycotters rarely have the money to put where their mouths are.
Chick FIL A is a great case in point.
But companies cave, anyway. And that may work short term, but not long term.
I stopped wearing Nike shoes 20 years ago. They were unAmerican then and they haven’t changed.
My wife and I stopped buying Nike when this whole Kapernick/Nike crap started. Last week we boxed all the shirts/hats/shorts we had bought from Nike prior to the Kapernick/Nike incident (most of which we weren’t wearing). I figured we had close to $1,300.00 worth of Nike crap. We’re both big sports fans so we have a lot of Astros/Texans/Rockets/UofH apparel. I live in the city so can’t burn it so I guess we’ll be donating it. I had thought of finding someone who embroiders and embroider a circle with a slash running through it over the Nike logo (or put a flag). We have four NFL Nike jerseys in this pile that run over $100.00 each.
On the plus side, Nike is a big sponsor of the US Woman’s Soccer team, so I’m killing two birds with one stone by getting rid of this vile company’s stuff.
Nike is dead to me.
nike is dead to me too
New Balance for me. Occasionally The Adi Dassler brand and once in a while Puma.
Dang Italians are some breeders, ain’t they?
Will never buy another Nike product
Nike did not embarrass our country; it embarrassed only itself.
I used the same Gillette razor and replacements for near thirty years.
No more. Once I switched I’m just sorry I didn’t do it sooner.
Never bought anything they sold and never will.
LOL
Great post!
YES!
Why not make it easier amd just hand their money over to the competition?
Smh
