Nike has freely chosen their lane, I'll choose mine. I will continue wearing New Balance. My children will not wear Nike shoes unless they buy them with their own money. And that's going to be a long time.

This being said, don't delude yourselves. There's a lot of money to be made right now in trashing America.

Funny thing is, if those sneakers were in the stores and we had a blackout, their most loyal “customers” would be looting them and reselling them like hotcakes.

And let’s all remember, that the stock market reflects the collective decisions made by investors, both buyers and sellers.

Nike stock could have risen completely unrelated to this news. On the other hand, collective decisions by investors who made buy or sell decisions based on this are part of determining where the stock price will be.

We need to get serious about defunding the left to defend our country.

Abandon Fecebook
Boycott the swoosh

That's why every company--big and small--has been flying rainbow flags and putting trannies on the diversity team.

Two percent isn’t much of a surge.

It’s simple. Not every American is a right wing patriot troubled by Nike’s decision.

Like Rush said the other day it’s possible the whole thing was a setup. It’s a proven tactic now - Kapshi* bashes America, Nike sides with Kapshi* and Nike sales and stock price goe up.

Title says, "Nike Stocks Surging "

This is flat out not true. They're going up similar to other stocks right now. The politics doesn't change stocks as much as we would like when a political issue takes place.
They will notice it the most on there quarterly reports.

Agreed. Propped up by a lot of rich libs. Also, I imagine “shoe stock market” would make a killing on the rarity of the Betsy Ross Flag shoe.

I wonder how the NIKE stock value will do if America succumbs to the communism that its customers support?

What patriot will ever wear the BR and/or American flag on their shoe, anyway? Doing so instinctively strikes a nerve,... or should.

The only customer going in the Nike store that I passed by in a Dallas mall today was a large black man wearing big baggy unflattering knee length white shorts with the huge word NIKE on the side and a blue shirt (probably also said Nike on it). He’d been hanging around outside it for awhile and I swear he was there to make a “statement”.

Wow. If politics and not shoe quality drives a stock price, all I can say is Nike and its investors can go f themselves

That being said, this is due to Trump economy that black people can buy America hating shoes, but I did not expect the beneficiaries to acknowledge

I think they are buying their own stock.

I think they have been doing it for a while.

Not too long ago, their numbers weren’t that great.

THIS IS JUST MY OPINION.
