If he ever booked a flight on my plane I’m not flying it.

Nike shoes are very average but because of advertising and celebrity endorsements they sell well. There are lots of good brands out there to choose from.

The era of the crybully is in full swing.

Colin’s a complete hypocrite. He needs to go back to his perfect world, Africa.

Nike is dead to me!!!!

[Seaplaner]

This year I'm replacing my Nike driver golf club (the only Nike among other very fine brands.)

I'm not selling it, I'm reducing it to short, land-fillable pieces. Any other remaining Nike items will also meet Mister landfill.

There are many fine competitors to Nike, I see no reason to consider them again, at all.

Is this guy complaining about the Chinese slave labor used to make these shoes?

[Califreak]

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and guess he only cares about slaves if they are black....

[budj]

How about this flag:

OOOOOPS, they owned slaves, too!

[plain talk]

“Be real. When was the last time you ever bought one of their crappy shoes?”

I’ve never bought any of their overpriced shoes.

You should sell them. Everyone that owns any Nike products should sell them. Sell them cheap and flood the market. Less new sales for Nike.

Nike the shoe of Antifa.
Just Burn It
Just Bash It

[Mastador1]

Can’t burn what I don’t have, I refuse to by anything Nike.

[ssaftler]

I have all of my Nike stuff in the same pile as all of my Apple stuff.

It’s an empty pile, but the thought is there.

[Beagle8U]

“Do he wear cotton?”

Wear it? He picks it!

[Bob434]

Apparently Colin is their new president in charge of decision making-

[rktman]

Well, one would think that with all the prattle escaping from his pie hole.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Personally, I think Betsy Ross would not want to be connected with Kaepernick and his hatred of America and it’s flag. I’m not trying to “channel” Betsy but I know she loved America and it’s flag. She would not have been very fond of phony and whining football players like Kaepernick and their pals down at Nike.

I have 1 pair of Nike shoes. I bought them at the NEX for $35 in 1988 during boot camp. they still fit, even though the sole is slick as snot. Original laces, too.
