I didn’t know they still televized foodball games. How do people put up with all the ads?

This is one of those outrage stories that never get a follow up a year out. Target is doing fine, and they let men who claim to be women use their women’s facilities. I think the target outrage was 2 years ago.

I was in one of those lines - and I had never eaten at Chick-Fil-A before. I ended up eating there a couple of days a week for a few weeks. I had to stop because I really don’t eat at restaurants that much. I’ll go there occasionally, and whenever we order out for meetings I always get Chick-Fil-A. It’s one of five choices we are offered by corporate.

That’s going to go over big with hi supporters- I’m sure they’ll go steal a pair to support him.

I’ll be watching one of the lost episodes of the Three Stooges followed by LaVerne and Shirley and a Shark Vacuum infomercial.

Sorry, NFL, you’re pretty low on my priority watching list.

Other than Kapernick, the athletes in the ad are admirable.

Nike Ad

I will still boycott Nike, and hope they lose many times the $4 Billion they lost yesterday.

Good points. Yes, it was so good to see Chick-fil-a boom.

And Nike shoes and NFL reprobates don’t taste good.

Just watched it too. With all the athletes with missing limbs and extremities doing sports, I’d have to classify it as ‘emotional blackmail.’ Let’s face it, who doesn’t give credit due to athletes without hands or legs? You can’t look at it and say, ‘More power to ‘em?’ The problem that I have with it is Kap, whose shtick isn’t overcoming some physical handicap but rather hating the police.

A friend sent me this link earlier today. He’s a veteran of the Vietnam War. You don’t have to watch all of it unless you want to. However, I think just a minute or two will suffice when remembering what true sacrifice and heroism is all about.

Remember the opening scenes when you see Colin Kaepernack, when you read about Nike and other Liberal corporations disrespecing our flag, our military, our law enforcement. Remember these scenes when you see all Marxist Liberals like the ones at the Kavanaugh hearing today and the ones in Congress, the paid protestors, DNC, MSM, and the list goes on. Apparently, none of these people and entities want to remember our history, the fallen and all those who sacrificed to keep us free.

Nike dumbasses...you sell over priced tennis shoes and jock straps. You do nothing more important than that. I laugh at your destruction and bloated importance ego.

Or joking. :-D

I’ve not watched an NFL game in well over a decade, though I see it sometimes in sports bars or pizza parlors.

That’s a very powerful and touching video. And it’s a Kleenex grabber.

Thank you.
