#15 et all. Can anyone contact the cartoonist Ben Garrison? I can’t find an address.
I want him to draw the following cartoon and I’ll explain why after I describe it.
Two-paneled drawing.
The left side shows an old “NIKE-ZEUS” anti-aircraft missile from the 50’s/60’s which guarded America’s coasts and cities, in an upright firing position with the caption -” GUARDING AMERICA - 1950s/60s”.
The right-panel drawing would be Kaepernick’s face with the caption - “ATTACKING AMERICA 2015-2018” with a subcaption of ‘THERE IS A DIFFERENCE’.
Right now I’m doing some legal research on military procurement in the past and am finding documents about the NIKE series of AA missiles, among many other types of rockets.
The NIKE was literally the first real Serious US anti-aircraft missile put into nationwide operations, and when I was a kid, I saw photos of them in their operations pits, some not to far from my house.
NIKE stood for strength back then, not stupidity and treason.
The younger generation should know about this.
Any help you freepers can give me on contacting Garrison would be appreciated.
The more “Nike” gets paired with the phrase “Asian sweatshop workers”, the merrier.
New Balance is gonna have a sales spike.....
Half price sell is still covering his overhead since products are marked up about 75% or more.
Good idea
Not even, nobody wanted him.
But what stuck with me from the ad was Nike's use of the words "sacrificed everything", obviously a reference to Kaepernick. To me, those words in today's context bring to mind our American past and present military heroes and martyrs, and fallen and injured law enforcement officers.
These words do not belong being applied to anything pertaining to a rich, fortune-hunting, egotistical, caveman-coiffed, unpatriotic ex-football pro who hasn't sacrificed ANYTHING and who has now transitioned from highly-paid athlete to the recipient of million$ in income as a flack for a multi-national sports company..... a company which specializes in third-world Asian slave-labor sweat shops to manufacture its goods, including employing child labor, plus setting up shady overseas financial ways to avoid paying American taxes.
I urge a boycott on this shameful Nike corporation....however, conservatives are notoriously lousy at boycotting....and I doubt that no more than a few of the thousands reading this thread will bother to contact the company or their local sporting goods chains with their opinions and intentions.

New Balance has been the best Dad shoe for some years.
NUKE NIKE
I am joining this Nike boycott! But must admit I did like Nike’s golf shoes, but there are plenty of options out there.
See # 28 !

What they should have done is jacked the prices *UP*, letting the inventory to rot, and forcing Nike to pull it from the store.
