I think Nike will pull the ad with the quickness. If you go to any of the sports sites like barstool with articles about it, 90% of the comments are people claiming they will never touch Nike again.

They may have miscalculated on this SJW appeasement.

From a business standpoint, WTF are they thinking?

I mean, they already have the market on Air Jordans.

Keep your money and get you a nice pair of sneakers next time you go grocery shopping.

It's not just an ad, he's getting his own line.

Too bad Esquire is too afraid to put his money where his mouth is

Oh well...

If I’m Adidas and Underarmor, I’m contacting every college with a Nike deal right now. “How would you like to resell every piece of apparel you sold in the last 5 years?”

It's free advertising and threads like this are why Nike did it

So you're upset because the owner of the 49ers chose to run his business a certain way?

They forget the guy couldn't even keep the starting job. He did the smart thing and makes everyone think he is blackballed for his protesting, and not because he is a bad QB.

Yep. Nike needs to ask Dick's how their recent business decisions are working out for them.
