The National Association of Police Organizations, an interest group that represents more than 241,000 officers, has called for a boycott on Nike.
Nike will be broadcasting their Kaepernick commercial tomorrow during the NFL season opener between the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons.
The silent majority needs to choose wisely. Will you support Nike and the NFL? Or will you support the quarter of a million law enforcement officers who are calling for a boycott of Nike?
Maybe. Probably.
Nike dropped a bomb on itself. This was a suicide corporate bomb for which stockholders are demanding the firing of ALL top level executive immediately, I hear there are anticipated law suits to remove the board of directors and never let this UNAmerican bastard’s face on any advertisement again.

Maybe they assume that only liberals buy their product.
I haven’t bought a pair of overpriced Levi jeans since high school. And they’re off my list permanently now. Maybe there’s a brand out there that actually appreciates America. Like New Balance shoes for footwear and Chick-Fil-A for the best fast food.
It IS a termination offense according to the power of the Board of Directors if they disagree. However, I'm pretty sure it can also be a class-action law-suit from the stockholders if the CEO's actions causes the stock to drop in value. That is the reason that the NFL initiated new rules regarding the "kneelers". They were losing big money.
There are laws that dictate certain fiduciary responsibilities for CEO's, Chairman of the Board, and it's members.
“I have to wait in lines at Chik Filet now.”
All of them. All the time. Owning a Chik-fil-A is like having a license to print money.
It always amazes me that a long line at the chick fil a moves very quickly & sometimes 3 cars at McD’s takes 10 minutes.
We were in a sports bar tonight and every tv had that bastard’s mug on it with the talking heads discussing it. Couldn’t hear what they were saying so don’t know if they thought yea or nay, but they were sure talking about it.
I disagree with this guy.
You do *not* have a right to side with and support Evil.
If you insist on working Evil, you don’t even have a right to live.
“Like New Balance shoes for footwear and Chick-Fil-A for the best fast food.”
I have New Balance shoes. Somebody earlier said they were made in America, but mine say made in Viet Nam.
It's where Antifa comes from. Black Americans stand out like a corn stalk in a soybean field. It's an erroneous assumption that Left Coast corporate Kultura is in any way intelligent or logical.
These people honestly can't understand that money making and the nonsense of communism aren't able to co-habit the same walled compound. You don't see any homeless camps on all those sloping green lawns, unlike less than a mile away on public property. If you call them capitalists, they are insulted.
Nike has told white Americans it doesn’t give a shit about them . Nike’s main market isn’t the US by the way . Most of their sales are in countries that are anti-American . The majority of sales in the USA are to young people, multi-racial comunities and to leftists . Middle American or Conservative folks in the US represent around 5% of their total US sales . Lots of growth possibilities within US with anti-America jerks and those who don’t give a damn about the Kapernick deal . Even greater places for growth outside America with counties/people who sympathize with Crappernick ( think all of Europe minus possibly the UK for example ) . Nike is shitting on a tiny portion of their customer base in order to please the larger portion which will give them many more possibilities for expansion . This was a well thought out decision by Nike . Watch their market stock market share prices bounce back soon .
Go to the New Balance site. Grab a pair or two. They will report that business is booming. This will fuel more sales momentum. Nike will have to report market share losses. Just Do It!
No doubt Target did the same
Wish I had and In-an-Out near me.............
HA!!The thing is...the polling is left wing..the marketing “execs” are left wing,,,Because why...they want to be right,.and GET PAID...and the Marketing surveys are “left wing”....because why..They also WANT TO GET PAID...IOW...it’s like Democrat polls....they are wrong...
That is true, but it makes you wonder if their marketing VP's are just going along to get along with top management so as to keep their jobs. This was an incredibly bad campaign decision by some top Marketing executive presented to the Board, Chairman, and CEO.
I can see the presentation now in their conference room. "Nike! The Protector of the Under-privileged and Targeted Minorities." He/she finishes the presentation and uses the face of a "minority oppressed" - Kaperdick, who has millions.
The actual wording, "Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything." is great slogan. They could have used the face of a fallen Marine, fallen Fireman, fallen Cop, or other real hero who has actually "sacrificed everything". Instead, they use a pissy no-talent football player that no one wants to hire. They will lose more money.
ALL GAVE SOME.
SOME GAVE ALL.
