Not enough people chose to turn off the NFL. Too many people making too many excuses to keep watching. NIKE figured it out. A matter of numbers. One man keeps the TV on..2 children in the family..or a wife and one child..uses NIKE products. I mean, how’s Dad gonna stop wifey and child/children from buy NIKE’s when he’s plopped down in front of the TV watching NFL. Same if it’s a wife watching that tripe. One is not going to be able to convince the other if they’re still watching garbage on TV.
I will be waiting for the Trump Rally in Billings to air.

In our country we have everything to look forward to in spite of the Democrats yet suicidal tendencies have spread to an important national past time NFL, to important industries such as Nike, and Levi Strauss. What’s next!?

Potty mouth Bridget.
Check my tagline.
there are two specific reasons to skip the Eagles/Falcons game:
1. All but one Eagle announced they were skipping the White House invitation to celebrate their Superbowl victory there.
2. The deliberate, in-your-face Nike ad featuring the America-hating, cop-hating moron, Colin Kaepernick
(kind of interesting though that after the NFL seemed to have semi-solved their public kneeling problem, their chief sponsor decides to sabotage them ... my guess is that the Kap/Nike ad will hurt the NFL ratings worse than anything President Trump ever tweeted)
“I wonder if they’ll be pimping a new model of Nike Kaepernick Kop Killer Sneakers.”
actually, Kaepernick will have his own branded line of Nike merchandise ...
“Once NFL teams got wise to the scrambling, Kaepernick got totally shut down and thus revealed his lack of appreciable talent.”
exact same thing was true with Tim Tebow: he only had early success because of his unexpected scrambling ability ... unfortunately, Tebow was a TERRIBLE passer and even worse, never got any better ... he never could read a defense, could never check off multiple receivers and his terrible inaccuracy never improved ...
We don’t watch
Yeah, the UG-lee line. Just like him.
Trust me on this, this was a well thought out, carefully conceived and intentional move aimed towards a single objective: to increase sales.
Now, please note I use sales in the total sense ie world-wide, global, not just the US market. We don't have access to Nike's internal numbers, but the research and analysis behind behind this move certainly can be measured in many, many $ millions. That includes regional demographics studies, growth expectations, (disposable) income estimates, etc. It also includes careful pysch research into potential customer segments with respect to how they feel towards perceived 'injustice' and the desire to 'make a statement' through product identification.
We won't know if their attempt will be successful; but that's why they run horse races. Don't be surprised if this results in increased overseas sales - reflected in Nike's share price. That being said, it could also be a mistake - nothing is guaranteed. They know full well how pissed off certain segments within the US market ie FReeper types, will be. It's all part of the calculation; but to suggest this is some kind of misguided misreading or being out-of-touch is nothing more than an exhibition of ignorance (or wishful thinking).
Like last year, I’ll pass watching the NFL this year.
What would this domestic issue have anything to do with “increasing foreign sales”?
I believe it has more to do as Whitlock said, to join the “Resistance” due to America First and the latter’s threat to Asian sweatshop labor
Think about that. Marginal “increase” in sales if any vs lifetime consumer boycotts. You really would bet on that?
But throw in the billions saved thru slave labor if Trump/GOP lose, and Voila! there you have it
Posted this before, will post this again. And again.
The more “Nike” gets associated with “Asian sweatshop workers” as in “Nike Asian sweatshop workers”, the merrier.
I’d really like to punch “sweatshop workers” into a search engine, on the Web or a social media site, and see “Nike (blank) sweatshop workers (blah, blah).
I can dream, can’t I?
It’d be fun if Trump raised the tariffs on Nike’s imported, unAmerican stuff to 100 or 200%.
That’s a great idea. Spread the association of “Asian” with “sweatshop” where others, esp liberals can see it. Let them question Nike’s REAL motivation, not “social justice” or fake “sacrifice” or “principles” but increa$ing $ale$. racial pandering, and Hate Trump for America First threatening its overseas costs (by a large margin)
Let them see Nike as the CAPITALIST PIGS they are!!
