@MichaelScarn

Just saw Nike’s new commercial. It was pretty solid.

Let’s just hope, for Niki’s sake, that Kaepernck is better at selling shoes than he was at playing football.

[MichaelScarn]

So, he will get Nike to the superbowl? I’m pretty sure they will be OK with that.

Good for you and I mean that. It’s a crazy world right now and if you can make some money off of it…kudos.

@madasheck

And yeah, people are tossing shoes away in protest.

Oh wait, you dummy. Those aren’t Nikes. They’re New Balance.

New balance or Nike…those kicks should have been tossed years ago…

@GWH

Parents buy shoes, the 40 and up category you’re denigrating. Nike already lost $4billion in a day over this. Good luck to them.

Yeah … so about that. As of this morning Nike stock is trading right back at the price it was the day before they released the add. Took all of 6 days to get back the 4 billion in market cap hit due to knee jerk reaction and speculation. They will be just fine.

Well Nike is going to pick pro athletes. There are lots to chose from. I had forgotten about J J Watts until someone else mentioned him in this thread.

Or they could have chosen someone from tennis, basketball, baseball or other sport. They aren’t limited to the NFL.

And like predicted they are featuring lots of other athletes. Their first new commercial is more than 2 minutes long (in the uncut version) and features Kaepernick for an entire 6 seconds.

The narration for the entire ad is Colin.

Bought at 79.80 on Wednesday, sold today at 82.26.

Not bad a nice tidy profit, thanks to all

If you wanna make money seems like all you have to do is follow around whatever those on the far right are claiming to boycott, then buy stock of that company.

[GWH]

The alternate memes have brought them back.

[Apocalypto]

Hell of a commercial.

@Oryx

Why is that? You want everyone you disagree with to fail?

I want a company that turns a “Cops are pigs” guy into a hero to fail, yes.

What’s too bad is that people either have forgotten or don’t care about that “cops are pigs” incident and just think of him as the guy who first knelt.

I don’t have a problem with the kneeling, but if you want to create better relations between police and the public, you don’t go around insulting them or encouraging your “community” to insult them.

@TriggerWarning

Its a disgrace to them and every hero who has given their life for others to call Kaepersuck a hero

There can be more than just 1 type of hero

Wait … I thought both Conner and the Kurgan both said there can be only one.

The only thing it will take to get Nike to the Superbowl is money. The same goes for Kaepernick. He can buy a ticket just like anyone else.

yes, with that fat Nike endorsement, he can buy pretty much anything he wants.

That’s the only thing that bothers me about this whole Kaepernick thing. Altruism is his banner, but clearly, the man is a cop hater and yet that aspect of his character and agenda has been ignored by his supporters.

Nope. He only hates bad cops. What’s wrong with that?

His cop-pig socks made no distinction between good and bad cops. He clearly hates cops in general.
