James Woods Calls on Shareholders with Incredible Plan To Shutdown Nike
Western Journal ^ | 09/04/18 | Cillian Zeal

It’s pretty unusual when a Nike campaign involves a sports figure who hasn’t played for years.

Usually, that player was a legend — but in this case, he was an above-average player who turned into a bust and then got mired in personal controversy.

That’s what made Nike’s decision to put Colin Kaepernick on its latest advertisements such a bizarre decision. After all, there were plenty of reasons he could have been chased from the league that weren’t just related to his decision to protest the national anthem.

There was his play. There was that tweet his girlfriend sent which compared the greatest player from the team that was about to sign him to a house slave and the owner to a slave master. There was the fact that he’s given support to dictators and cop killers. And now, he’s the new face of Nike.

My guess is Nike made a calculated risk that whatever sales they lose by America loving consumers who switch brands will be more than offset by the legions of America haters both domestic and foreign.

Thay bet appears to be paying off as their stock price has recovered from its initial three billion dollar loss .... that’s a sad statement to have to make.

Kaepernick’s problem is that he is still a planttation slave.

His slave master is Nike.

Thats the same for those who support him. They are stuck way back in history , never having left the plantation, even if they are quarter backs who earn 2 million a year, they are still slaves in their own minds. This is a peculiar kind of sickness.

And Nike has stepped right up to become Kaepernick’s personal plantation and slave masters.

Atta go Colin.

You could have been a great American, but you chose to be a lowdown, American hating, bitter planttaion negra.

That should make you really happy throughout the rest of your sordid little life.You stared greatness in the face, shuddered and then ran away like a coward. I’d say Colin that you are due to be shoved right out of the good old US of A.

It would be a good time to buy Nike stock, after an initial short play to catch the plummet.

Follow the North Star, Colin. Live in freedom in Canada, albeit in poverty.

Great question, I'd not considered that. I'd imagine if they had enough cash reserves they could do it to prop up their stock price, that would mean a sustained drop in price over time, forcing Nike to keep buying back stock would deplete their cash reserves. Once cash reserves are gone stock price decline would ensue.

So that would make the follow-up question to your question is: how much cash reserves does Nike have? A look at their quarterly reports would tell us that, unfortunately, we won't know until next quarter if they're depleting them.

The NFL gets Kaepernick off its back without copping to anything, and if Nike’s buying back its stock, Nike might be happy to see the stock price tank short-term to get more bang for its buck.

Where’s a leaker when ya need one, eh?

I bet the NFL’s and Nike’s comms on this subject, in-house and between, would make very interesting reading.

That is the best time to do a stock buy-back, when the price is low. You’re absolutely correct.

Check out the cartoon on Nike from 9-5. At the moment, it’s the second one down.

I want to see a “23 and me” test on the guy. He’s about as black as Rachel Dolezal. Remember her?
