Kaepernick jersey sales soar to #1 after anthem controversy
Despite the outrage on your Facebook feed, it seems Colin Kaepernick's decision not to stand during the national anthem has proven a popular one.
As noted by former Mercury News reporter Mike Rosenberg, Kap's jersey has almost overnight gone from the 20th-most popular shirt in the 49ers store to the No. 1 pick.
Or maybe all those people are buying his jersey so they can burn them in a counter-protest. Hard to say.
At any rate, the NFL will be happy to profit from this controversy. Kaepernick jerseys were on clearance at the end of last season, and now they're back at full-price: $99.99.
Kap will be addressing the congregation at San Francisco's Third Baptist Church on Sunday morning. You can watch a live stream of that here.
Soros is buying them up to skew the statistics.
Great kindling
Lol! It’s just the homobama voters doing their best impression of the dead-cat bounce before the Trump takeover.
The famous saying of P. T. Barnum comes to mind...
That’s what I’d like to see . . . who is buying the jerseys? It could be NFL for all that. Likely it is all just on paper anyway.
I’m sure that “skew” should be the word of the day on this one.
I would like to know how many of those are being purchased to burn. The CK jersey torching videos are all over YouTube.
Why would anyone watch a game.....entertainment.....that makes them mad?
Didn’t know you could buy NFL gear with EBT card...
If 98% of the people dislike you, but 2% suddenly think you are a hero, that 2% can buy enough jerseys to make you very rich.
Ghetto gear, I suspect.
I do not believe most white, conservative football fans understand how deep the Disney/ABC/ESPN rot goes.
The NFL has to be EXTREMELY careful with this situation. Billions of dollars, tens of thousands of hot babes, property, influence, connections - all are at risk.
I won’t be surprised if there are mass player protests in the major college conferences this Fall. In the NFL? Too soon to know.
So what do we learn from this?
I posit that we learn that it is no longer “stupid ginger” is it not “stupidginger”.
I think you sell the card first, then make your purchase. If your kids need food, oh well. There’s always more taxpayer money to pay for that.
“Or maybe all those people are buying his jersey so they can burn them in a counter-protest.”
That must be it.
Spending $120.00 on a Kaepernick jersey so that you can burn it in protest is not the most logical form of protest, but it is your First Amendment right.
His jersey will become the new uniform for all the BLM thugs.
Expensive buttwipes.
Some may be buying them in anticipation of the price going up and selling them on eBay.
As suspected: it’s all a publicity stunt
Wtf is the matter with people? I’m so disgusted.
