But I’m not though.

I have one pair of Metcons that I will wear for about an hour 3-4 days a week to the gym. I will influence no one to go out and buy a pair. In about 2-3 months I’ll need a new pair and go out and purchase a different shoe. Will throw the Nikes away and since I will have no use for them.

That's my bad. I figured that since you've been obsessed with Nike since the Jordan days and have spent more on Nike products in the past three years than people have spent in their entire lifetime, I figured you had more Nike products than... one pair of shoes.

So it wasn't the use of child sweatshops that did it for you, it was the Colin Kaepernick ad, huh? Interesting.

I've never boycotted a brand before but this one may actually be my first. Very disappointed in Nike. Why get involved...

That's the thing. This isn't about Kaep. It's about questioning why Nike did this. Why would they reenergize this narrative and endorse an unemployed athlete to market their shite? That's why people are frustrated. No one gives a frick about the "oppression" of Kaepernick or his "life struggles" being "colluded" on.

It's funny too that people are calling others snowflake when Kaepernick couldn't even win his starting job, then bitches. I mean some of you on here are fricking stupid if you can't see why people are pissed
