Woke Leftists still buy sneakers.
Most Pajama Boy Millenial men sport scruffy beards.

P&G shot itself in both feet and the arse here.

If the Nike ad was so great...why was there only one?

No Nike products for me after they hired Tigger.

Already left Gillette when I had to ask store personnel to unlock their overpriced product.

I threw all my Nike Clothing and Shoes out. I am only sorry that the Pentagon did not pull it from the AAFES and Navy and Marine Exchanges. I hate seeing soldiers and marines wearing Nike - being a retired paratrooper I would want a Nike wearing partner in a foxhole for starters.

Nike is as high as $81.50 today holding around $80; they were $73 at the start of their campaign.

Thanks. Good to know. As another poster pointed out, it couldn’t have been that great for Nike if they didn’t do more ads with Kaepernick since then.

Nike saying that the football non-player did not affect them is so disingenuous that it makes me not trust their sneakers.

Furthermore, Gillette will get the best shave in their lives on the bottom line.

You don't need a twitter account to read tweets on #boycottgillette.

If you go to Gillette’s Facbook page and read the comments under the post containing this ad almost EVERY SINGLE positive comment is from women. The few male commenters are theater production managers, florists and such. Gillette should just make all their razors pink and market them to the pussy hat wearers as pussy razors. Unfortunately the chicks who wear pussy hats don’t have much use for razors.

It’s ok Gillette, I’m gone and you can make it without my money. Have fun pi$$ing off your remaining customers.

I’m not going to buy Gillette either. I do not blame good men for the bad acts of a few.

Maybe Gillette should do a gay mutual manscaping ad. After all, gay men are 35% of the population, right? (According to tv shows and movies)

Yeah. Let’s insult our customers and lecture them. That’ll sell more razors.

That’s the number-one rule of what an advertiser should never do.
