Nike should consider cops are pigs shoes. Colin would approve.

Too bad and so sad that is not true.

The US has been good to Nike, and this is how Nike turn on our country.

Nike’s profit margin depends on selling overpriced stuff to inner cities. I used the Air Pegasus model from back before the added the “Air”, but they don’t make $$$ selling a single pair of sneakers a year to an old white jogger. So now I jog in New Balance and will never buy a Nike product again.
And Nike doesn’t care about losing me. Their profit comes from kids fighting each other to have the latest color on their basketball shoes.

Nike actually makes a lot of Team USA merchandise.
Are they going to recall all of it because Colin doesn't like it?
One nation, one team?
Figuring out what to do about the USWNT Megan Rapinoe scarf could take a long time.
So much to consider.

No problem. I'll just continue buying more Betsy Ross Under Armour gear.

As much as I loathe the man, I wish to heck that Michael Avenatti had succeeded in blackmailing Nike and taken them to the cleaners.
I think Nike needs some tariffs and more investigations into child labor and Asian ten cent per hour sweat shops.
By the way, Kaepernick is a loser who wasn't particularly talented. He hasn't played for a couple years now, and it's unlikely he will ever play in the big time. He's not even black. He's a fake like Shaun King or Rachel Dolezal.

Kaepernick's void of character rivals Obama. Hey Kaepernick leave the USA already.

after former NFL star-turned-activist Colin Kaepernick told the company it shouldnt sell a shoe with a symbol that he and others consider offensive,
Well hell that is easy. Hey Nike I and hundreds of thousands of Americans find Colin Kaepernick offensive and you shouldn’t sell a shoe with him being a symbol of your company!

Hey Colin!
If the USA is so bad, why are you still here?
Too stupid to get a passport?
Cant find a map to the airport?
What country is historically better than the USA ?
Hmmm?
Right!
You are...
JAFA!
