Nike Just Undid It

[Benjamin]

Really bad gamble at a marketing strategy if you ask me! Huge mistake, much backlash to come. On a personal note, I typically buy a lot of this brand but the second I read this I knew I was done with Nike. Goodbye Nike, Under Armour has you outclassed anyway...

If you own any Nike stock, I'd dump it. Fast.

Seriously! I would rather burn my Nike stuff than wear their logo brand now.

It's a good reason to buy Nike kit.
They get special mentions in Revelation showing Jesus' victory at the cross & continuing victories -

5:5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed (ἐνίκησεν) to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”

6:1 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. (νικῶν καὶ ἵνα νικήσῃ)​

I love watching this kind of stuff happening. Not only has the NFL damaged it's brand, now Nike has followed suit. I stopped buying Nike shoes years ago, they just didn't last long.

Adidas makes better shoes.

Hey @Nike I guess you made @Kaepernick7 your new “face” of the brand because you love the way his socks look with your shoes? @Reebok here we come. #WeStand @TomiLahren @greggutfeld @kilmeade @RedneckRiviera

Well, to be fair, burning them would prevent one from being a walking billboard, potentially aiding Nike with future sales.

 

[Calminian]

$3 billion wiped from market value...
I doubt this was Nike's desired effect.

And the Irony of Kaepernick.
'Won't stand for the flag but he'll bow down to the Nike dollar?'

I’m sure they’ll be fine. Since taking a knee is a protest against police brutality against minoroties. Is the counter protest of burning ones clothes a show of support for such activity.

Yes, calling cops pigs is the American way.

Nike stock probably will be hurt in the short term--I see it's down about 2.5% today (so far)--and then it will blow over in a week and resume it's upward trend. It is up 23% in the last 6 months; 54% in the past 12 months. In three months I'd say the stock price will be higher than it is now.

About as American as your hero the POTUS calling POW’s losers.

Yeah, I remember when Target was supposed to go down over the bathrooms.

The bathrooms? I thought Target was going down because they kicked the Salvation Army charity red buckets off their curbs at Christmastime.

Remember the Hannity-heads busting their Keurig coffeemakers because Keurig pulled their ads from his show? Wonder how that company is doing nowadays?

Maybe, I know there was a bathroom meltdown at some point as well.

It will show that I care what people might conclude about my character of patriotism if I were seen supporting a brand like a billboard that defiantly disrespects our flag.

Burn your clothes that you’ve already paid for.

This may come as a shock to you but I believe the value of patriotism overrides the value of a few bucks for clothes that might imply I stand behind those that disrespect our flag.

Own the libbbbzzzzz!

Own the CHARACTER.

That is such a ridiculous and laughably overdramatic picture. It’s been amazing how the narrative has extended to the troops when it was never about the troops. It’s about the status of the country in their view. I can’t stand when people try to hide behind veterans as a means to shut down conversation. It’s gross.
