I want to watch the beginning just to see the kneelers as there are a few on the Eagles. Just to get my ire up and turn it off. But I’ll bet they don’t show it and make no mention of it.
Its evidence that for much of corporate America, Kaepernick’s “protest” isn’t fringe at all - its the accepted message of our elites and crony-capitalists.
Nike should listen to Michael Jordan: Republicans buy tennis shoes too.
Jason Whitlock called this one right. Whitlock said that Nike hates President Trump due to his America First policies. These policies are making it tougher for Nike to make their stuff with Asian slave labor and bring it here.
Had meant to short their stock as soon as they announced but got distracted... now I’m wondering if there is still some room left to make money....
“Maybe Nike will air their Kaepernick ad during NFL games. That should work great!”
He didn’t even need to state that;
Nike Will Air Colin Kaepernick Ad During NFL Opener

Nike is just doing it to their bottom line.
I wonder if they’ll be pimping a new model of Nike Kaepernick Kop Killer Sneakers.
Even that is a stretch. The reality is that Kaepernick had one good game -- one -- and this led to all the overheated hype.
I remember the game very well. The 49ers were playing the Green Bay Packers and Kaepernick scrambled all over the field. The Packers clearly were not prepared for this and Kaepernick torched the Packers on that day due to his effective scramble running.
The 49ers used the same tactic for a few games afterward to much more limit success, but all have come to understand, from Kaepernick to scrambling quarterbacks, is that any NFL quarterback who has to rely on his college-based scramble ability is almost always a sign that that quarterback is not really very talented and has gotten by during his pre-NFL days relying on his feet rather than his arm.
So outside of that one game, televised nationally, Kaepernick really never was much more than an average player at best. Once NFL teams got wise to the scrambling, Kaepernick got totally shut down and thus revealed his lack of appreciable talent.
Nevermore!
The only real business explanation is one that Ben Shapiro puts forward: Nike is trolling Trump and conservatives to create a bunch of free publicity (yes, I get the irony) and increase sales, particularly to blacks who buy Nikes at a much higher percentage than whites — but still smaller raw numbers.
They also steal them in much higher percentages
What “career”...he was 32-32. Overall, not good.
There are plenty of QB’s who performed better and got released too.
The NFL can just get into the row boat with Fredo Corleone because it’s dead to me.
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.
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!?
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)
We don’t watch
Like last year, I’ll pass watching the NFL this year.
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?
