Is Kaepernick running Nike? Should we stop celebrating July 4 because the United States did not start out as a perfect country?

Gosh I wish I bought Nike products. So I could stop buying that crap and begin boycotting them.

Apparently this dude has veto power over these business decisions. Since he is offended, that overrides every other consideration.

What sorts of idiots run Nike, that they give in to this crap? All this does is set them up for having to give in to future demands , otherwise be condemned as racist .

Nike stock holders should question the Board of Directors as to who exactly is running the company??

The Board, or a race-baiting loser who hates America???

So some slimeball loser anti American jerk now tells a multinational company how to run their business.

I’m so glad I don’t buy their stuff. A handful of corporate shirts have Nike logo’s but certainly nothing I pay for

Do they sell shoe laces? Maybe you can buy one. And then return it.

I guess he told Nike that he wouldn’t don a pair of those sneakers under an endorsement contract.

It’s up to Nike.

The American Flag is not some adornment to help sell sneakers, so while it is stupid they let Colin dictate what they do, I’m happy they cancelled this affront to our flag.

If Kaepernick wasn’t a hypocrite who just hates America, he would go to the countries that are still practicing slavery and say it offends him. But it doesn’t, because he’s a liar.

I’m a fan of Betsy Ross and I am offended by Colin Kapernick.

Nike says yes to 1% of the population while saying no to at least 50% of the population. Smart business people over at Nike.

Is Kaepernick running Nike?

They are the ones who empowered him when they went all in on backing his anti-USA protests in their ads when most sponsors would have cut him. Now he is flexing that power and they are crumbling, rather than distancing from him while they can.
