“””National boycott of the NFL for Sunday November 12th, Veterans Day Weekend. Boycott all football telecast, all fans, all ticket holders, stay away from attending any games, let them play to empty stadiums.”””
Thanks for posting. For those who did not read to the end, I pasted the money line again.
Kapernick sacrificed a salary for maybe four or five years.
My niece posted a meme on facebook. A little black boy looking up. The caption “Mommy why are they burning Nikes shoes?”
Answer “Because they ran out of crosses”
This is what passes for humor on the left.
My answer is simple. You guys have the “funny” memes, we have two Supreme Court judges.
A fair balance.
The day Nike announced their support of Colin and his organization, I went and bought a pairs of Adidas that came close to $300.
Not only did Nike NOT get my business. A competitor did and will continue to. That's the beauty of capitalism.
Also Adidas was on the ball enough to know that day and the following ones were going to be heaven for them and their brand. As a proven purchaser of athletic shoes, Adidas sent me several email advertisements the day of Nike's announcement. Brilliant move. Suddenly I wanted to purchase athletic shoes.
Adidas was the only shoe company sending out their emails. Just goes to show how on the ball they are.
Nike’s gonna make it up in volume as they’ve re-defined their market as Urban Thugs. Problem is, they don’t buy their shoes, they steal them at gunpoint.
I’ve just bought a pair of New Balance 990s (made in America). The Nike Pegasus running shoes I bought in July - the shoe I’ve used for decades - is going back to Nike with a copy of their ad & the comment, “I spent 25 years in the military. I believe in something - that I’ll never spend another dollar on Nike!”
I’ve never bought anything from NIKE.
I think that corporations and Democrats have a tacit agreement: big money promises to support the social agenda of the Left, and in return, big government lets them keep most of their money thanks to generous loopholes in the tax code.
Some say it doesn't matter as they are trying to redefine the brand to attract and nurture a younger, specific audience/clientele. But this reasoning is not holding water. Many in the age and race group that they were hoping to lasso were just as turned off as the rest of the masses.
Not only did they gut the brand identity, they failed to appeal to and impress the base they were working to attract. Massive fail and they deserve all the consequences of their decision.
They also strengthened the resolve of those already not happy with the NFL to continue and/or participate in the NFL boycott in the coming season. Nike and the NFL have a contract for the coming year. Now they are both reinforcing each others fail. :D What a case study in corporate marketing failure.
I love your post. Perfect!!!
C’mon, stop making jokes and calling us Shirly
This is HUGH and SERIES
All that would be great for them if it were working. In the Nike case it isn’t. It only backfired bigly ;D.
Yes, and it’s encouraging to know that there’s enough sanity left in America that when political correctness pushes the envelope too far, their BS sometimes blows up in their faces.

Colon: A Legend in His Own Mind
Outstanding!!! And thank you for your service. Enjoy those 990s!! ;D
