is there anyone that still believes Kaepernick isn't marketing poison?

I thought people stopped buying Nike stuff in the 90s when all those sweat shops were exposed oppressing their workers.

Do you know how the stock market works?

Some people are going to seriously cake up off the rebound.

[BlackJack619]

Lol Nike wants to sponsor a dude who is standing for those who are oppressed yet Nike oppresses their own workers in China lol, it's sad but maybe it's time to liberate China, if we are really seeking justice for all.

The burning is just symbolic of how people feel but I find it silly. I stated this in another thread but I bought almost $100 worth of **** at a Nike store by my house before the announcement and took it all back this morning.

This is of course a small protest but the biggest issue I have is that Kaep’s bullchit was based on a lie and they weren’t willing to just say “protested police brutality because of a story that I didn’t have the details on. Korryn Gaines was wanted for warrants, had a standoff with police, demanded her 7 year old to kill police then used him as a human shield while she pointed a shotgun at officers. It wasn’t police brutality and she wasn’t killed without reason...I’m full of chit”.

I want to know why anyone but 49er fans are mad at Kap?

Does anyone LEGIT cares about him kneeling?

I'm more upset that he clearly took more time that offseason to prepare for his protest than he did working on his deficiencies at QB.

You can disagree with his kneeling, I sure as **** do, but what he's doing is American. America was founded on rebelling, and those that think he's disrespecting the military, past and present, are ****ing retarded. Him doing all of this is protected by the Constitution.

He also fits the Nike campaign pretty well. Lost millions of dollar for his retarded protest.

At least you didn't destroy your Nike stuff. Those that do that need to stop stealing oxygen from everyone.

I personally don't think it's a smart move. Do I think it will hurt them? Probably not. Nike has a following and is a legit powerhouse.

But I certainly don't think it will HELP them. I don't see this increasing or spiking sales in any way. I think it's controversial, gets people talking ... keeps Nike in the news. And I think that's what they are going for here.

Why would anyone burn Nike product? It’s already been purchased. Moving forward, I will no longer purchase their product. (I love their golf attire)I am going to wait and see what their next earnings are. Hopefully they do terrible.

Short term, they might take a small hit.

Long term, they make untold sums of money off of it.




I can't believe some of you are actually going to protest them over this ****. That is beyond retarded, but it's your right.

[reverse79]

lol...Nike goesnt give a damn...hence, why they launched it.

Lebron goes at trump all the time...

Kyrie said the earth was flat...

Tiger humped a bunch of Ihop waitresses....

Durant identifies as a transgender...

just another day for nike

Pretty much this. Nike can afford any short-term hit, and hardcore fans of the brand won't care either way.

Was making a joke about him being black.

[Messiahtype]

RGIII was a Heisman winning rookie of the year and has a job, where is his campaign?

That is my only issue with it. The guy isn't even a professional athlete, and when he was one, he wasn't very good. Keep sports to sports. That goes for sports branding, too.

being black is not a joke, jesus this is why kaep had to take a knee

You're right, man. I'll go donate to Clinton as a way to prove that I'm sorry.

[AriGhold]

I do find it amusing watching everyone freak out about this. I hope they remember to take their shoes off before they set them on fire.

"Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything."

Meanwhile he's making millions being the Nike-sponsored athlete. Maybe I wouldn't be as mad at him if he donated all his endorsement to charity, but he won't.

You're a cookie cutter if you pay through the roof for a piece of fabric with a chitty tick on it anyway.

The dude literally gave up any hope of an NFL job by continuing his activism. And how do you know that he doesn’t donate?

Lol at thinking he has to check 20 boxes for him to earn your approval.

Willfully ignoring Kaep's contributions to 41 separate charities to own the libs.

Also did you hear Lebron only gave, like, 2% of his own money to that i promise school?

But hey JJ watt fundraising $37 million of other people's money just fine with me!

Spoiler!

for the record jj watt did a great thing using his platform to raise money and help others
