I hate Kapernick as much as the next guy but not 500 jobs worth of hate.
And that’s what the left and Nike count on
That $$$ trumps principles
Screw Nike and HOORAY AZ
American incentives for American companies
NIKE isn’t one of those
Corporate welfare should come at a price.
Nike is stupid. They could have had a PR bonanza if they simply fired Kapernick over this and launched the design anyway. A “spokesperson” who generates this level of ill-will is hardly an asset to the company.
a rare republican with balls
Karma is a b!tch
Nike would probably hire minimum wage wetbacks who would flood the border to get in for the jobs.
Just think of him as “AOC lite”.
Sorry, I cannot agree with you.
We don’t need our jobs and our shoes to come from companies that hate
everything we stand for.
Eject the company from the country, and put a 25% tariff on their products.
We can make our own d*mn shoes.
I agree.
It’s a separate issue, but they should never have offered financial incentives/tax breaks to the company. I guess it is legal because states and cities do it all the time but personally think it violates a number of principles, probably also unconstitutional, and I imagine this will lead to where companies will threaten to move or close their facilities unless the state/city gives them a break.
What is 500 jobs worth to the state? If they are willing to pay to get 500 new jobs how much will the pay to stop 500 jobs from leaving? I understand the states are competing, but there’s a perversion in how the richest highly profitable companies are the ones being offered tax incentives. The little person who has to build a business from scratch using smarts, sweat, blood, borrowed money etc gets pays full freight the whole way and gets little consideration - indeed they get demonized by politicians for “not paying their fair share” while at the same time Amazon and Nike and GM and Boeing (and many others) are being given tax breaks! NYC Mayor “the money is in the wrong hands” DeBlasio is exposed as a total hypocrite - or maybe he thinks the money that is in the wrong hands should go to the company with one of the highest market caps in the world.
This is about as intelligent as it comes
As always, you are on the wrong side of the issue.
Nike is no longer an American company. Since Air Jordan, Nike is an African company. The Governor saw through the nike smoke and mirrors and chose not to support the Africanization of America.
Nike can go to California or Washington where Africanization and America hate is appreciated
