Video at link. Don't accept racism? Don't do this don't do that? From a corporation that turns a blind eye to the very people they pretend to give a sh*t about beating each other senseless every Black Friday over their latest overpriced sh*tkickers. This is rich! Gotta love that corporate responsibility.

Don’t do it, Nike. Don’t exploit a tense socio-political situation for your own profits. Oop. Too late.

Screw Nike. They are a bunch of progressive POS. They do not know real America.

"Nike released a simple but powerful ad Friday evening."

Horse crap.

And maybe call Obama and let him talk about his “typical white woman” grandmother.

So we KNOW it's racism? We have already made all the determinations that we need to make. Not a rush to judgement - not at all.

There was a guy complaining that, in the riots, some black properties were being destroyed. In effect saying, destroying white businesses is understandable (even though they had NOTHING) to do with this. But destroying black businesses, well, that is not acceptable. Now tell me again where the racism is.

“For once, Don’t Do It,”
Don’t sit back and be silent.


and here I thought they would advise “don’t riot”. Blame Nike for fueling them.

Don’t resist arrest? Don’t put your knee on another person’s neck? Or,perhaps,both?

>>” Nike’s stance on the issue comes after several athletes joined a nationwide movement to publicly condemn the officers involved in Floyd’s death. Floyd was killed as Minneapolis police officers had him in custody Monday.

Professional athletes denounced the Hong Kong protesters and sucked up to Chinese dictatorship.

FUNike

"For once, Don't Do It,” the text read, playing on Nike’s popular slogan. “Don't pretend there's not a problem in America.

Yes there is a problem in the US. It's you Nike and your ilk destroying cities, and ruining the lives of innocent people.

Nike’s gone full steam ahead on its ‘woke’ ad campaign targeted at urban youths. It is what it is.

maybe they could have run an ad showing a black guy reaching for a purse with a line thru it and “Don’t Do It”. They could make a whole series of such ads one showing a black guy raping a woman with a line thru it and “Don’t Do It”, another with a scene of a drive-by shooting with a line thru it and “Don’t do it”. I would be far more likely to give them some credit for taking on a problem head-on.

“For once, Don’t Do It, Don’t pretend there’s not a problem in America. Don’t turn your back on racism. Don’t accept innocent lives being taken from us. Don’t make any more excuses. Don’t think this doesn’t affect you. Don’t sit back and be silent. Don’t think you can’t be part of the change. Let’s all be part of the change.”

Can’t help but wonder if the Nike ad isn’t a clever way for the corporation to condemn Mr. Floyd for sticking a gun into a woman’s stomach and causing her breathing difficulties during the home invasion/robbery crime for which he was sent to prison.

No doubt Kaepernick rubber stamped the ad before it was released. Fluck Nike, just say no to their over priced trash.

Per Google

“Almost all Nike shoes are manufactured outside of the United States. The leading manufacturer of Nike shoes is China and Vietnam”

I’m fine with Vietnam, more so USA considering their prices can support it.
