Brave university College of the Ozarks (MO) removes Nike(tm) swooshes(tm) from jerseys, in protest of their new ad campaign

Looks like they're setting themselves up nicely for an eastbay sponsorship!

This is serious. Hundreds of dollars in profit could be on the line for NKE

I quite enjoyed the show 'Ozark' on Netflix.

This doesn't really do their rep for being a bunch of red necks and hillbillies any good though.

I even read the statement in my head in the voice of a toothless bearded man with a shotgun.

This is so passe (with one of those funny French accents on the e).

Patriotism went out in USA back in late 2016.

You should watch it, it's pretty good.

1. Nike’s Favorability Drops by Double Digits: Before the announcement, Nike had a net +69 favorable impression among consumers, it has now declined 34 points to +35 favorable.

2. No Boost Among Key Demos: Among younger generations, Nike users, African Americans, and other key demographics, Nike’s favorability declined rather than improved.

3. Purchasing Consideration Also Down: Before the announcement, 49 percent of Americans said they were absolutely certain or very likely to buy Nike products. That figure is down to 39 percent now.

4. The Effect on the NFL Seems Small, For Now: Forty percent of consumers said Nike’s campaign does not make them more or less likely to watch/attend NFL games — 21 percent said more likely and 26 percent said less likely (14 percent didn’t know).

I will be covering my swooshes and not making any Nike purchases for some time.

This will put no dent in their bottom line, but I'll sleep better at night.

M.A.G.A...

Virtue signalling does come at a cost.

Hey , don't you remember the movie I was in? Deliverance , about Arkansas , no . What about Boogie Nights? Too soon.

The college requires all freshman to take the course “Patriotic Education and Fitness” which features the study of “tying knots, map reading, and the formation of American government and politics.”

That’s the home of the cat fishing noodling champs ?

I agree. Nike is probably going to go out of business like NFL, Yeti, kuerig, Starbucks, ... and all the others that conservatives have boycotted.

My undergraduate degree from Ozarks and graduate degree from Trump U has servered me well in my career as fry cook at Wendy’s.

We realize that in this age of narcissism, laziness, drug use, anger and immortality that the virtues of honor, patriotism, gratitude and hard work are in the minority. But as a matter of principle we’ll not support it.

Whether that has an impact or not is really immaterial.

You really don't want to be phased, that could cause a problem in your wiring!

I'd argue it was 2008.

Are the police going to boycott Nike with their set up vans? Will the target demographic steal Reeboks? This could have far reaching repercussions.

Nike surely realizes their target demographic with this ad doesn’t actually BUY their stuff, right?

I was not aware they even had shoes at the College of the Ozarks
