Check their market cap pre-antiWhitePeople campaign and now. I’ll wait. If you even understand what I’m saying—I doubt it since you’re comparing one weekend’s online sales from a year ago to today.

Not all veterans share the same views.

Kaepernick actually started kneeling, instead of sitting down, because a veteran approached him and explained why him sitting appeared to be disrespectful to the military and suggested that he kneel.. So.

When you wear a symbol, logo, trademark, etc. you are advertising and aligning yourself for something. This is happening whether you like it or not.

Nike has aligned itself with folks that disrespect America and its traditions. I choose not to align myself with that, therefore I won't advertise for them or wear their logo.

Question... If planned parenthood made the most comfortable work shirts with an symbol of an aborted baby on it, is that ok to wear?

Not being an arse, but it's an extreme question to understand the boundaries of your position.

And you have no critical thinking skills—see a headline and think it’s a “gotcha!” moment. Funny, really.

I come from a family of veterans, I also don't give a shite that Nike made an ad with a guy they already had a deal with. You retards laugh at the left when they start dumb boycotts then lose your shite over something like this

My Dad.was in the Army, my Grandpa was in the airforce the yearit was founded. His dad died in Ww2. On the other side I have three current members of the airforce.
What the frick, veterans in a family makes you feel different about one company?




Many veterans understand the right to protest. Sorry you don't...

I can protest Nike if I want. If I see it as disrespecting the flag and anthem that's my business.

They also are probably OK with this decision by the mayor.

What's the anger about? It's not like Nike is some bargain bin product, so it isn't about, "the people's tax money." This is an internal policy change, not a mandate on citizens, so it isn't "freedom of speech."

People mad at this were saying the free market will react one way or the other, as it should. Now you're back calling anyone who reacts unfavorably to your beliefs idiots. Nice consistency.

Yes, but you made it mine when you insulted MY values and standards. Then you threw the veterans in family at me. When I too come from a family of veterans.


In other words, if minding your business was your goal, you failed.

"People." The part directed at you was the first part of my post regarding military members. It then switched gears to a general question/commentary to the "people" upset about this who are calling it stupid.

It's not binary. He can be both highlighting injustice and being disrespectful.

I don't disagree with his message, I disagree with its delivery.
