DON'T DESTROY YOUR NIKE PRODUCTS!!!

Send them to me. I run a Christian sports equipment ministry that sends new/used sports equipment, including shoes, all over the world.

Best of all, we send a lot of stuff to Christians in Cuba. It would be fitting that this multi millionaire pretend socialist be the motivation for donations that would help victims of REAL socialism.

Message me if interested.

Aww, I’m looking forward to all the Nike-burning videos, like for our domestic eNemies’ Football League.

Soon his Nike shoes will be placed reverently in a museum next to the sandals worn by Charlton Heston in the Ten Commandments.
The other Nikes will be in clearance bins.

CNBC - Cramer: Nike would be a buy if the stock falls further on the Colin Kaepernick ad fallout.

Big problem with that suggestion... If Nike shares are taking this much of a hit, wait until their next quarterly sales figures come out. People are going to stop buying their product in droves and that will not result in stock going up, it will result in stock going down.

NIKE’s golf division is going to take a massive hit. If Tiger where to dump them, that would be the end their golf apparel and equipment line.

Colin cancer continues to metastasize. After damaging the entire NFL, it’s now spreading to a marginal-quality but well-known clothing company. I hope Nike dies quickly in its competitive market.

Who are the individuals at Nike who made this decision?

It would be fun to know their lifestyles.

Hopefully Athletic Depts will see this as a reason NOT to renew

Gonna be interesting to see where this goes over the medium term.

The question in my mind is, what group of marketing geniuses at NIKE honestly thought this was a good business move?

Any real conservative should have dumped Nike decades ago. I have them on 4-5 ban lists for their support of Planned Parenthood, selling baby body parts, LGBTWHATEVER, same sex marriage...

According to Yahoo, this was the best thing Nike could have done.

I doubt that anyone is destroying useful stuff.

Just symbolism, and that’s OK!
