Of course Nike is silent, who else but African-Americans spend two and $300 or more on a pair of shoes?

You did.

By giving them welfare and all of the benefits, you paid for those shoes and a whole lot more. Enjoy.

Because I am 6’5”, I buy most of my clothes online (from catalogs before Al Gore invented the internet). I still buy shoes in a store.

Nike management has so destroyed Nike’s brand by hiring Kaepernick that we think nothing can be done to save the company.

We will see.

Just a little off topic. We live in the low country in SC. We were in Lowes yesterday and got to talking to a manager. It seems four black employees came to work wearing face masks with BLACK LIVES MATTER on them. They were instructed to take them off and they refused, they were reminded that they had signed an employment agreement when they were hired, agreeing that no political issues, tshirts etc could be used. They were given the option to take them off or leave, which they finally agreed to remove them but loudly voicing that it was racist.

If my business were cranking up the peer pressure on poor inner-city kids to buy $200 sneakers made in Cambodian sweatshops, I would want to change the subject, too...

Funny how he endorses a product that is made basically by slaves.

Ah, well. Like Groucho Marx said, "I've got principles. And if you don't like those, I've got another set."

Here’s wishing Crappernick an early stroke and bankruptcy for Nike.

Actually he is yet another HAfrican who proves that it’s black privilege that exists.

He is Half black, having a black sire. His white dam gave him up. A white family adopted him and raised him, apparently quite nicely.

This is betrayal, yet again, of the side which raised him.

I always wonder what these white families feel like. Are they proud? Do they feel betrayed and insulted?

There’s almost no white kids or parents who stopped buying Nike items because of their stand on anything.

Agreed. Besides, what Kaepernick is saying amounts to the creed and catechism of the left's US history. Nothing wrong with that for them.

Nike remains niggardly in volume of comments on this matter.
