Surprise! Colin Kaepernick is the new face of Nike

Too bad Donnie Dumpster was more into that other one.

Ok, if you say so.

Only one of them got a contract. They both probably have NDAs.

What contract was that? The one Donnie treated like toilet paper?

“Some Kaepernick critics took that to mean sacrificing their Nike products.

Immediately, some people began posting pictures of socks and shoes being defaced or destroyed, or declaring they would be soon switching allegiances to Adidas, Brooks or Converse. (Nevermind that Nike owns Converse.)

Country star John Rich showed off a pair of Nike logos that had been removed from his soundman’s socks.”

Too funny.

Nike stock is currently down 2.21%. What do you think it will close today…up or down?

Yep and I work for a major corporation.

Nothing and I mean nothing is out of the goodness of the corporation heart.

Its all about $$$$$$

some pencil pusher up the line said it would make them money. A vice president brought it the CEO and viola Kaep is a role model for Nike. Its already a genius move, I mean we here at Hannity are discussing it.

Lol I love the internet

Hey, I like New Balances. They’re also not made by ten year old Thai kids handcuffed to sewing machines.

“The alt-right calls for a Nike boycott will fail just like the boycott of Dick’s Sporting Goods failed,” said Matt Powell, a senior advisor with market research firm NPD Group. “Old angry white guys are not a core demographic for Nike.”

So…you’re going with stock prices going up?

The contract with the 1st Lady.

within a week, its an afterthought.

Fair enough…it’s approximately selling at $80 currently so let’s see in a week if you’re right?

KInd of short-sighted in this global evonomy font you think?

At least Nike’s supply chain is creating demand for manufacturers of tiny handcuffs. I don’t see NB providing the same overall economic benefit.

I do too. They’re good shoes.

I’m not blaming Nike for teen hoodlums like the one in this story.

While my support for Colin Kaepernik stopped once he donned pig socks & vouched for Fidel Castro, he has to put food on the table somehow.

Isn’t it weird how if someone posted this same thing but using stereotypical pictures of items representing the African/American community, it’d be labeled racist?

All lives matter!

Facebook has lots of pics of people cutting up their own Nike products…hysterical!
