Colorado sports store to close after boycotting Nike over Colin Kaepernick

Decided to move from Lounge to MSB since its more sports.

A Colorado sports store is closing only a few months after it stopped selling Nike over the company’s decision to feature Colin Kaepernick in a 30th anniversary “Just Do It” campaign. The store’s owner, Stephen Martin, told KOAA News 5 in Pubelo that Prime Time Sports will close after more than 20 years. He attributed the closure partly to the absence of players’ jerseys for sale in his store. “Being a sports store without Nike is kind of like being a milk store without milk or a gas station without gas. How do you do it? They have a monopoly on jerseys,” Martin said. Martin also told the TV station he canceled a 2016 scheduled appearance by Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall after Marshall took a knee during the national anthem. “As much as I hate to admit this, perhaps there are more Brandon Marshall and Colin Kaepernick supporters out there than I realized,” Martin said.

I hate the Kapernick BS more than anyone but it was laughable to think that a small portion of the MAGA crowd was going to take down Nike with their boycott

I love how people actually boycotted Nike over promoting a guy who they made a deal with years ago but not over the sweat shops in China

Glad you take happiness in the fact this guy had to close his store

Boycotts are pretty much stupid. At least what passes for "boycotts" these days.
Both sides of the aisle. frick 'em. I spend my money on what I want.

One stood for what he felt was right.
The other knelt for what he felt was wrong.
Free Country. The guy who knelt might want to think about that.

That means they both have every right to do what they want, even if people disagree with both of their decisions.

Why is it funny that we live free?
A lot of people have had to die to secure such freedom.
Freedom that a lot of Americans take for granted.
Those of us who have seen many other countries in the world know how blessed we are to be Americans.
Mock away.
