Nike Just Undid It

The Prez just weighed in. God bless him.

Just like the NFL, whose ratings have gone WAY DOWN, Nike is getting absolutely killed with anger and boycotts. I wonder if they had any idea that it would be this way? As far as the NFL is concerned, I just find it hard to watch, and always will, until they stand for the FLAG!

Five pages of comments about a washed-up former quarterback endorsing a middling athletic brand.

It's newsworthy. If it wasn't you wouldn't have gotten so passionately involved in the discussion with all of your infamous predictions. And Nike a middling brand? You know not what you say.

Well he called one a loser. Later he said he was a hero. We misspeak at times. I'm sure you can relate.

If someone says people that like the color blue are stupid and it was meant to irritate one person. The remaining people that like the color blue still feel the insult. I don’t know how to say it any simpler than that. That was not misspeaking or a slip of the tongue. It was a deliberate insult.

We all misspeak like that. Trust me, you do it also.

He did not misspeak. He chose those words all by himself. Another excuse. I’ve got three people in two days now without the guts to condemn that statement. Is it ironic that they are all Trump sycophants?

They are #1 in athletic shoes but have been losing market share for the past couple of years. In athletic apparel they are #2 and losing share to adidas and Under Armor. In athletic equipment they aren't on the radar.

IOWs they are not middling. Thank you for clearing that up.

Sure, if owning 12% of a market share is considered to be not "middling".

Sometime I wonder if you even believe your own arguments. LOL. Regardless you've lost all credibility. That is a huge marketshare. Wow, can't believe some of the things you say. This might be one of the most bizarre, and I've heard you say a lot of things. "Nike is middling."

Nike is #1, just as you mentioned, and #2 in clothing. That's not middling.

Just as we all do. All of us lash out at times. Non of us have an excuse. Surely you agree.

There are lines I don’t cross. The sitting President of the United States should know that. Calling a POW a loser for being captured is not something I would have expected to have to explain to the ultra mega super patriotic right but here we are.

Those are your lines. Trust me, you've crossed many people's lines. You're just like him, and so was McCain and all his other detractors. If your comments on this board are any indicator, you'd be in even more hot water than Trump.

I'll never defend Trump's bad comments, but they are way fewer than the media implies. If Trump was on this board, he'd be an angel compared to us. (where's that little halo emoji when you need it?)

Try this.

Ford is #1 in pickup sales. However, Ford is basically getting rid of all of their vehicle models for the US except for Mustang, SUVs, and pickup trucks. No more Taurus, no more Fusion, no more Fiesta, no more Focus.

Is Ford middling? Or is Ford a market leader?
