Doesnt that mean Kaps ad was a success and he isn't an image liability to an athletic apparel company? That means he isn't a liability to sports team, especially one based in California...

So why was he let go? It couldn't have been for image reasons, Nike is doing so well. Maybe he was a bad player and couldn't cut it?

So he didnt "sacrifice everything" and all the people who bought the ad are just idiots?

Because maybe their largest growth is from outside of North America where no one gives a shite about the ad...

Brad Garafola, Matthew Gerald, and Montrell Jackson sacrificed everything.

Yeah, I don’t mean to say that North America doesn’t matter, but the international growth has led to solid quarters which investors are obviously keen on.

I just saw the full commercial on Thursday Night Football.

When you think about it, the whole idea Nike is promoting is ridiculous. They're telling you to throw away all the success and money you can earn for a belief.

Don't like your boss? Well send out an email to the entire company and let them know your feelings.

As long as you believe in something....

Bahahaha

I ain’t buying anything made by Nike ever again. Ever, period.
I’m just one person and it doesn’t amount to much but it still doesn’t matter. I have never and will never use Amazon either. I try my best to not support any liberal. I won’t shop at a local store if I know they are a democrat. I don’t let my son have democrat’s kids in my home. My kid doesn’t go to democrat’s houses either. I want nothing to do with them at all in any way.

We need a new government because you morons on both sides of the aisle pointing fingers at each other when the truth is both dems and Republicans are one in the same. Both sides only care about power and how to keep it. They are all corrupt as fu@#. Neither side want what’s good for the country unless they get credit for it.

That’s weird. Just teach your son to be a free thinker instead of shutting him out of real life. Managed conflict brah.

Of course not. It's about image politics. Always has been.

We need no further evidence that this is correct, but to look at exactly how many players in the NotForLong continued to kneel- but retained their employment.

Kaeperprick couldn't stay in the League because he's just not a good player. Not because of his politics. But what a great opportunity it has been for the leftards and SJWs to convolute the facts and martyr an athlete who once was thought to have great potential. And Nike seized the opportunity to #resist, because this is all Drumpf's fault anyway.

The best part is, these people are knighting for a company that is notorious for using child slave labor. Just another example of the hypocrisy of the left
