To begin with, any person who believes that Che Guevara was a hero and a role-model instead of a genocidal commie-terrorist is an idiot and an ignorant An idnorant, here, I just made up a word. Period. End of story. Also, any person who believes that America is not the greatest country in the world is an idnorant. These truths are self evident to me, and to anyone who has basic knowledge of history and world affairs. Which brings us to Colin Kaepernik, who’s clueless on these issues.
To tell you the truth, I don’t even know who this guy is. Really now. Except from the fact he’s very good at chasing a ball, like I used to do in high-school, he made over 100 million bucks out of this racket (only in America you can do that by the way), and then, after his career went south, he decided (while standing on the bench pecking at his smart-phone and presumably reading BLM/Antifa propaganda given to him by his girlfriend) to protest police killing blacks by deriding the whole national anthem, thing i.e. to go full social justice warrior over…racial issues? Mind you, this dude is black, and he’s the perfect story of meritocracy-based black-success if it ever was one (just like with the whole NFL, which is like 70 percent black). Also, he was adopted by a white family, yet he seems to hate whites and America, the country that made him both famous and rich.

Read The Conservative Treehouse about why Nike did this - it’s anti-Trump so they can keep their cheap labor. They had ways of getting around taxes so the lower tax rate isn’t as big an issue as cheap labor. I work there and happen to know they view China more highly as a market than the US - which has had stagnant sales for several years. Nike was conceived and built on cheap foreign labor - something the Democrats endorse. Nike isn’t really an American company - it’s just that it’s founders live in Oregon.
I didn’t want to go to work yesterday (where not a word was spoken about Kapernack) and last night I got an email from Microsoft about a job. One door closes and another opens.
Social Justice Warrior tool receives millions from a white-owned, slave labor corporation while continuing the charade of hating the “man” and fighting injustice.

Kaepernik is a social “warrior” who takes millions from a shoe company to promote a brand that employs child labor.
Only in America does this seem to make sense.
Nike has lost their head and should be hung in The Louvre...
*** STUPID IS, AS STUPID DOES ***
This will not last forever. When it comes around to hard dollars and cents, it will be over.
The Whole Nike Kaepernick Extravaganza is Stupid for Nike.
It only makes sense because the mass media that is driving it are using their immersive power as a mechanism for propagating lies instead of truths.
Their international deep-state money sources have decided the time has come to make their big move, just as they did in 1930s Germany.
Goodwills and Trift stores across the country are making room for Nike racks today.

Hilarious...
I'm not sure about that.
I think they've calculated that if they can't keep their cheap labor, they're finished. It's existential to them.
They can't see a way out, so they're essentially cashing in their chips as Americans. The changes PDJT is making has them believing that if they don't battle him, there's no future for them. So they've thrown in with the one-worlders and the George Soros-Tom Steyer axis. They were always a left-leaning company anyway.
Benetton did this with their "United Colors of Benetton" marketing campaign, which was just total SJW advocacy with zero reference to their product line. I'm not sure if they're still doing it, but for several years they turned over their whole big-media advertising budget to promoting what they saw to be social-justice goals, hiring photographer Oliviero Toscani and giving him carte blanche to present whatever images he chose to use.
Right, Nike is an import company.
- P.T. Barnum.
So the logic is that this campaign by Nike will rally people against the changes Trump is making in trade with China and other Asian countries?
