I don’t own Nike products.
But I won’t boycott them because you got your panties in a twist over Colin Kaepernick.
"will cost Nike in the long run". Sounds a lot like a boycott--but it can't be, since the RW is vehemently opposed to boycotts of Chick-Fil-A, etc. (But not opposed to boycotts of small restaurants in VA that are anti-Trump.)Nike should hope that's all they have to contend with is a boycott. That would be something rather temporary.
Of course someone will come in and say "that's not a boycott!". But that is just a difference in words: it is a claim that people will/should stop buying a product because of the political opinions of the company. Not that I am surprised--"We are against boycotts--so long as you try to boycott OUR side! We ARE for economic retaliation against THEIR politics! And yes, both fringes do it.
PS: I agree with IB on this one--I think NB (and Asics) are better shoes. Originally Posted by Old-T

If the NFL allowed him to make a living playing football ... after all, they hire murderers, rapists, domestic abusers, child abusers, tax frauds, thieves and foreigners and nobody soils themselves,
Maybe the Marines will sue Nike. Or maybe ... just maybe ... their ad agency thought about that beforehand. Just maybe. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

I stayed in the failed Trump Taj Mahal the year before it closed. It was a cheesy shithole.
I don’t really give a fuck about his real estate properties. He’s gotten my business. He’ll never get my vote.
But, “nobody expects you to?” Didn’t someone just propose a boycott of Nike. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider
