Nike Makes NFL kneeler Colin Kaepernick their spokesperson

[Anonymous]

People need to respond to these idiots in the best way possible. Don't buy their crap, don't go to their games or watch them on TV.



Watch what happens when the money tap starts to run dry.

Didn't NFL ratings drop considerably because of the kneeling.

The NFL was already in trouble before arrogant players decided to force their ignorant politics on fans.

NFL ratings are facing yet another brutal blitz this fall — and few pundits are betting that they won't get sacked.



With ratings having plunged 8 percent in 2016 and nearly 10 percent last year, experts say this season's ratings could fall even faster as the league continues to grapple with a slew of ugly controversies that have turned off viewers.



Elsewhere, the NFL continues to be dogged by headlines over its concussion settlements with players, which crossed the $500 million mark this spring.



According to research firm Statista, participation in tackle football among US kids ages 6 and older has plunged 38 percent since 2006.



That's not good, says sports media analyst Brian Mulligan, who calls the metric "the No. 1 predictor of future interest in the NFL."



Mulligan adds that countries supplying the most immigrants to the US — Mexico, China, Cuba and India — all prefer soccer to American football and have no interest in switching to the NFL playbook.

Just burn it.

I don't think I'll set mine on fire.



You'll see the flames from Canada!!!

With the price of Nike shoes, burning them will only be for the rich.

I have a pair I got cheap at Costco.



But it's not my fight. Let the Americans burn theirs.

Even if we did live in the USA, burning shoes would not happen.

Not while wearing them!!!

I agree. Will never buy another pair Nike shoes or Levi's jeans ever again.

Screw those idiot companies. I hope they go bankrupt to match their lack of ethics.

I wouldn't expect anyone to burn theirs just not buy more.  



In a way it is your fight too.  this is the left turning corporations into activist entities.  This is the left politicizing everything just like totalitarians do.  The more they get away with this, the more power they get, and the more likely they will come for you too one day.  If they haven't already.

Some info on Nike from this article that  I found interesting

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/ct-spt-nike-colin-kaepernick-backlash-20180904-story.html">http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/fo ... story.html">http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/ct-spt-nike-colin-kaepernick-backlash-20180904-story.html

Nike has also shown its willingness to wade into America's culture wars. Just a few weeks after Trump's inauguration last year, the company launched a high-profile "Equality" campaign featuring LeBron James and Serena Williams. The campaign's ambassadors included Ibtihaj Muhammad, a Muslim-American fencer who wears a hijab when competing, and transgender triathlete Chris Mosier.

In light of that this, the motive looks like leftists activism rather than an appeal to blacks.  Whoever controls Nike is obviously a rich prog (or group of rich progs) who have decided making political statements is now the primary goal of their corporation.

Still, the league approved a new 10-year agreement in May that will make Nike and Fanatics Inc. the primary suppliers of apparel to teams and fans. As of 2020, Nike will continue to make all on-field NFL apparel, while all adult fan gear will have the Nike logo, but be made and distributed by Fanatics.

This whole Nike thing has served as just another reason to boycott the NFL as well.  I used to like American football, but I haven't watched it in a long time and will no longer be watching.  just another thing the left has ruined.

That's unfortunate for people who enjoy the NFL.
