Nike isnt looking for the customer that would be mad at them for choosing krap as a spokesperson.

They are looking to profit off of this big time. Its a perfect marketing ploy not for the use, but the world and will try to inspire other companies to do the same.

Who would have thought that sticking it to the man grabs attention on a grand stage.

If you don't think a billion dollar company thought about the repercussions of bigot fans that hide their racism through false patriotism and confirmed they will actually make more money from this; your not too bright.



So, if I support players of color in all sports- wear their jersey, consider them my favorite player, cheer them etc.-- but am opposed to someone who wears a Che Guevara shirt and 'cops as pigs' socks, and says "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color", I am a bigoted fan?

Whatever.

At least I am "bright" enough to know the difference between 'your' and 'you're".

It's not ironic that you pointed out what he did wrong such as wearing the Che Guevara shirt or the 'cops as pigs' socks but disregard the REASON he started kneeling or the respect he showed by talking to a Green Beret US veteran who told him to kneel instead of sitting for the flag. That disregard makes you a bigot.

This isn't about the flag and never been about the flag, but bigots make it about the flag.

I appreciate you corrected my grammar. I guess you're not too bright in this situation only.

Why would any American support a company like Nike who has sweat shops and slave labor? That’s not equality...Nike is using all of us.

Because we like cheap things. Most of the things we wear and electronics we use are made by cheap foreign workers in pretty bad conditions.

Bigots made it about the flag to hide their racist intents. I've dealt with it and understand it clearly. Faux patriotism.

I don't care WHO he got his bad advice from, whether it was a Green Beret, the Pope, or the ghost of Francis Scott Key. The whole Green Beret bit is a retort that those on the left have thrown up in opposition to the right's claim/whine that Kaepernick "disrespected the military" (which is specious and ridiculous in my mind).

Kaepernick: "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black People and people of color"

It is about the flag. He intentionally used the flag (actually, standing for it during the national anthem) as a prop; a tool; a weapon to TRY and get his point across. While I disagree with the presumption of his argument as well as his political leanings, I am not opposed to him preaching his message; everyone has a right to do that.

I AM opposed to him using/disrespecting the flag to 'publicize' his message.
