He had to close his store because of his own stupid decisions.

Straight poliboard response! The idiot, A SPORTS STORE, boycotted the greatest sports brand in history and seriously thought it wouldn’t affect his revenue?! This Maga crap is the most shortsighted shite I’ve ever seen

99% sure this dude knew he was closing his store within a year and just tried to get publicity to go out with a bang.

How many small sports stores even exist today anyway?

This guy was literally stupid. Nike is by far the biggest sports brand in the world. Did you really think your business wouldn't take a hit.

I'm going to open up a shop where I sale animated movies and merchandise. But because I dislike Disney, I refuse to sale any of their products in my store. How successful do you think I'll be?

The store was probably already about to go out of business so he did this to try to make the news and turn his sales around.

The fact that you don't know the difference between sale and sell is more problematic than your disdain for Disney.

Maybe, but his quotes seem to imply his Nike decision was one of the main reasons he's closing up shop.

You’re free to make any number of bad decisions but just like I make Fun of people who spend 250k for a Princeton degree is tribal finger painting and end up baristas, I’m going to make fun of a sporting good store that decides not to sell the most popular sport apparel brand and goes out of business.

Most people don’t care about Kaepernick. They just want Jordan’s or Vonn Miller jerseys, or running shorts.

This. I don't give a frick about him. I don't care if you stand/kneel for the NA (I stay seated for a different reason). I wouldn't shop in his store because I usually buy Nike when looking for athletic gear.
