Colorado Springs sporting goods store selling all Nike gear 50% off

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colin Kaepernick sparked a nationwide debate when he took a knee during the National Anthem ahead of NFL games in protest of police brutality, but a store in a Colorado Springs mall is making a stand against Nike after the company picked Kaepernick as the face of its newest ad campaign.
Prime Time Sports in the Chapel Hills Mall has a large sign festooned on the window saying "All Nike 1/2 Price" and "Still Choosing to Stand, Just Doing It."
...
Prime Time Sports has been owned by Stephen Martin for 21 years, and he realizes he could go out of business because a large part of his inventory is the collection of NFL jerseys he offers -- those official jerseys will be exclusive to Nike.
...
Martin sent a strongly worded letter to Nike in response to the company's decision to use Kaepernick in the ad. Martin calls the company "the mother of all harlots" for their ad campaign, calling into question their use of the phrase "sacrificed everything."
"According to me, he has sacrificed a salary," Martin posted in a note on the window of Prime Time Sports. The note is surrounded by pictures of fallen service members. "Nothing compared to what every soul on our 'Honor the Flag' memorial wall that was built a few years ago has suffered and died for."

Nike already got their money from him when he purchased those goods wholesale. By selling them for half price, he's only cutting into his own profits, not Nike's.

Yeah, but he's taking a stand.
Even if it means giving up everything

He’s not attempting to cut Nike’s profits with the sale, he’s liquidating Nike products from his store permanently and will no longer purchase Nike items to sell in his store.

But think of the one thousands of dollars of lost future revenue from this store! Where's the Nike foresight?

This is what Nike did, only in reverse. 
Nice publicity for this guy nonetheless.

I agree with the previous poster that said it’s a marketing ploy. Colorado Springs is a military town - home to the Air Force Academy and two Air Force bases. This story will drum up attention from the locals and probably win him some business. In the current age of internet shopping, these sports memorabilia stores are on their way out. Do what you can to keep the lights on.

Bold move for a sporting goods store to stop carrying Nike. We'll see how it works out for him long term.

He should have called Nike and did an RMA. Return the crap and get a refund. Just like so many did with DirecTV when they cancelled their NFL Ticket.

If he sticks to his guns on this, I'll have some respect for him. I think it's a terrible strategy long term, but I can appreciate someone who believes in something enough to deal with shitty consequences.

Kind of an odd place for this. Colorado is a cess pool of Liberal pot heads. Those shite heads would throw urine bombs at opposing fans.
50% is still 2 high. Nike makes shite shoes and gear.
