Well, I am in the market for new tennis shoes. This is good information to know.

Does Academy Sports still sell New Balance?

Then it would be nice if Tiger Woods would drop his endorsement of Nike products, but I doubt it.

His face looks more like the north end of a southbound donkey.

I’m following Nancy Reagan’s advice: Just say no to Nike.

“Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.”

I believe in boycotting Nike. However, sacrifice nothing.

Q: Do the companies doing all this virtue signaling have the same institutional investors in common...?

Just curious.

Everyone should send their used, worn-out Nikes back to Nike, with a note telling them to take Kaepernick and shove him.

Great way for them to lose half of their potential customers.

I really like my Nike shoes. But the second I read this, I went immediately to Adidas and purchased a new pair instead. I will not be purchasing anymore Nike products.

Nike swoosh & the stock, currently around $72.00 a share, are going to take a hit.

Not sure what most sneaker wearing kids think of Kaepernick, but I bet a lot of sneaker wearing adults, and adults paying for their kids’ sneakers, will have some opinions about this.

Will be interesting to watch.
