Clever to broadcast during an NFL broadcast, because people who loathe Kaepernick will probably not be watching, anyway.

The NFL is dead to me < spit>.

I’d rather watch paint dry. Or watch my grass grow.

Problem with your theory is that a large percentage of Nike’s revenue comes from overseas. They are banking on the anti American buyers to keep them flush.

I hope they’ve miscalculated but the media everywhere is full of lies so, we shall see.

Just in case middle American wasn’t insulted enough ...

Nike Steps Up With $25,000 for Harding’s Defense

Nike has had more turnovers than the Buffalo Bills lately.

First, its major benefactor, Michael Jordan, retires and then jumps to another sport where the players wear cleats. Then Nike runs the inexplicable Dennis Hopper “crazed referee” ads extolling the virtues of sniffing shoes.

Then we have the Tonya Harding affair.

Somebody should add up all the list money that Kaepernick has caused for his team, the NFL, and now Nike. It is stunning to me that a barely articulate fool is allowed to run amuck like this and destroy so much value.

Just one more reason why we haven't watched a single anti-American, SJW, PC Pink national felon league game for over two years. They hate America and they hate us and do not deserve our respect, support or money.

The nfl is dead

The trick to watching paint dry is competition of latex vs oil base paints to see the time difference. Really exciting!

That’s a very good point.

They are afraid of the fool.

Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.

Fill a C-5 with the NFL and drop them in Afganistan and we will see how big and brave they really are.
