Oh No They Didn't? Kaepernick the face of New Nike Just Do It Ad Campaign?

Statement/protest does not equal 'fact' wrote:

This isn't about "right" or "wrong," it's about making a statement. And the kneeling has done that.

Some of you are so strikingly dense, it really is astonishing.

What about acting in accordance to the constitution is "dense"? If you disagree with it, that's fine, but kneelers have every right to do what they are doing. The fact that you want to eliminate the constitutional rights of these kneelers because it hurts your feelings makes you something far worse than dense.

Um the Adidas Ultraboost is the only shoe on the market that protects the achilles tendon.

I was just about to ask for a recommendation for a non Nike shoe that won’t irritate my Achilles. I’m going to try Adidas Ultraboost..

IT'S A PRIVATE SECTOR JOB, DUNCEKAP. Protest away from your place of employment and you might not get fired.

Absolutely dense.

I'm neutral on the whole NFL and protesting the anthem BS. However, I have to give it to Nike. They are marketing geniuses. They have all have us talking about Nike (free advertisement) and there large demographics are now more likely to buy Nikes now. They don't care if they triggered a few old GOP voters who probably wear New Balances or ASICS, because that isn't there main demographics that they are trying to reach.

Shares are down slightly over 3% on the day, and they likely pissed off the NFL. Wouldn't exactly call that a genius move.

thanks for pointing this out. I just bought some discounted nike shares.

And being protected by cops while speaking at rally's, is ironic...

And wearing The Fidel Castro Shirt in Miami, If you know Miami with the huge Cuban Population kind of like wearing a Hitler Shirt in Israel, actually worse as my Psychologist said Hitler was like me and had a severe mental disorder which my psychologist said sadly led to him committing suicide, before he could get help and be a productive citizen, Fidel Castro on the other hand had nothing wrong with him, he was just a bad person, She said she sees me as being just like Hitler a good person who sometimes falls apart due to the mental illness.

WTF?

If people like you hadn't made such a big deal out of it... kids wouldn't have followed the example...' you reap what you sow' seems to fit here.

And, of course, I love the brilliant come back from you 'DunceKap'... I should have expected something so mundane.

Again, get over it and it will all go away... really, some guy (or guys) kneeling during the national anthem should be the least of everyone's worries.

Cheers!

Don't listen to them (above)

I feel much safer now here in Chicago's southside. Thanks, Caperknuck!

6 killed, 25 wounded, no arrests over Labor Day weekend, that's pretty good, thanks to rain. Thumbs up.,

Boycott Rupp, Mo and Salazar.

Eliud gets a pass.

Phil Knight can tongue diarrhea along with the entire Nike BofD.

Listen to the actual message, not the one FoxNews, Breitbart, or President Asshat interprets for you.

Or, listen to the gun shots from Jamal's 9mm as they ring out in the direction of Andre... and then listen to CNN tell you it was the white cops fault.

Thanks for telling us a story painting a picture that never happens.

and down goes Nike stock...

Ummm, when kids start copying "one guy", it's a bit bigger than your irrational/denialist perspective. This "one guy" wore pig socks in a game. That is the epitome of unprofessional, and unbelievably disrespectful to many who are truly good servants of our communities.

No, he didn't.

And there is your delusion showing up. I have NEVER said a word about the situation until this thread. Literally, have never conversed about the situation. I don't watch the NFL... I have nothing to get over. I stated facts... young people are mimicking what they see on the television and online. You are delusional, and in denial... "just turn your head and walk away". Incredibly ironic.

People get so salty when they realize popular opinion is turning against them.

Young people are the target audience of most retailers.

Cities are the target locations.

Old people in the country are unimportant in this regard. TTYL

No, he didn't.

Ohhh, in practice... while being protected by guards, and likely... police.

He wore the socks... honest enough.

You're the one who claims to be "stating facts" - I'm just helping you out.
