Time for Boston Tea Party 2.0 Gather your Nike shoes and feed them into a wood chipper. Post the video on social media and watch the establishment go bat sh!t crazy.

The more “Nike” gets paired with the phrase “Asian sweatshop workers”, the merrier.

Half price sell is still covering his overhead since products are marked up about 75% or more.

The ad itself, aside from the politics and on any level, is poorly done, ineffective and muddled. Nike needs a new advertising agency.

But what stuck with me from the ad was Nike's use of the words "sacrificed everything", obviously a reference to Kaepernick. To me, those words in today's context bring to mind our American past and present military heroes and martyrs, and fallen and injured law enforcement officers.

These words do not belong being applied to anything pertaining to a rich, fortune-hunting, egotistical, caveman-coiffed, unpatriotic ex-football pro who hasn't sacrificed ANYTHING and who has now transitioned from highly-paid athlete to the recipient of million$ in income as a flack for a multi-national sports company..... a company which specializes in third-world Asian slave-labor sweat shops to manufacture its goods, including employing child labor, plus setting up shady overseas financial ways to avoid paying American taxes.

I urge a boycott on this shameful Nike corporation....however, conservatives are notoriously lousy at boycotting....and I doubt that no more than a few of the thousands reading this thread will bother to contact the company or their local sporting goods chains with their opinions and intentions.

El Paso County encompasses Colorado Springs. Home to Fort Carson, Air Force Academy, etc., also popular with retired military. One of Colorado's most conservative counties ... Patriotism runs deep.

Unfortunate. The people who support Nike and this ad can now get their Nike gear cheap. The only group losing money is the store. Nike gets their cost to the store regardless.

What they should have done is jacked the prices *UP*, letting the inventory to rot, and forcing Nike to pull it from the store.
