Bullseye!!

This ad will sway some on the fence into telling the NFL and Nike to kiss their buns.

If an ad airs and nobody is watching, did it actually air?

I am conducting an experiment....the speed of consequences. Will Nike hit the skids at a faster rate than, say, Chick Fill-A took off?

Who has two arthritic thumbs and won’t see it?

I’d rather watch another rerun of Olympic and world championship fencing on YouTube.

That’s an excellent experiment.

I say YES.

I don’t watch football anymore so I won’t be subjected to it.

Just Don’t Buy It

I say YES as well - because it’s easier to fall than to soar. People have to stop buying, which requires much less energy and money than buying. But those line-ups at Chick-Fill-A sure did do a heart good!

Football is entertainment.
No one wants to be lectured when they want to be entertained.
That is why there is no market for Strippers who want to talk politics.

I get a two for one. I will be boycotting the NFL and Nike in one fell swoop.

Nike will take a hit in profits for this move. Another reason not to watch football.

I watched it. It’s predictably dumb and uninspiring. Glad I don’t own any Nike stuff to throw out or cut into rags for washing my car.

Never thought I’d see the day when African-Americans are standing up for a notorious slave labor company, but here we are.

Anyone buying his endorsed merchandise IMHO automatically goes in the unpatriotic category.
