New clothing line at wally world by Ellen DeGeneres. 'Inspired by love and inclusivity!'

Average, boring, unattractive rags that have nothing feminine or classy about them. But they have 'inclusivity!' Yeesh!

They’re designed by Ellen, so I bet the inseam cut makes scissor bumping really easy.


Inspired by Ellen’s love!

Seemed to work for Nike.

NIKE CAMPAIGN FEATURING COLIN KAEPERNICK ADDED $6 BILLION TO COMPANY'S MARKET VALUE
This is going well.

Nike's controversial ad campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick did not go as Kaepernick haters expected: By any measure, it was a huge success.

We knew Nike's stocks were booming, but CBS is specific with a report that company shares rose by 36 percent, "making the company the top performer on the Dow's index of 30 blue-chip stocks." Five percent of the increase has come since the athletic wear giant announced the ex-QB's involvement.

Things aren't going downhill yet, either, according to CBS:

The stock continues to hover near an all-time high, which it reached in mid-September only weeks after some Nike customers publicly burned their shoes to express their displeasure at the new ad.

In afternoon trading Nike shares were up slightly to $85.67.

For Nike, the boost eases concerns about the decision to link its brand to the controversial Kaepernick, who in 2016 started kneeling during the national anthem before games to protest racial injustice.

ADVERTISEMENT

Nike took a calculated risk, given that so much politically-tinged discussion has taken place around Kaepernick's protests. But the company relied on knowledge of its user base, which is younger and not all that politically conservative.

Nike

Everything is coming up Kaepernick in general. He reportedly makes millions from his Nike endorsements, and recently his attorney hinted that his client might have a chance to head back to the NFL.

That said, things get complicated when you know Nike employees contribute a great deal more money to Republicans than to Democrats.

Nike execs definitely believe in something.

At the end of the day capitalist companies are out to do one thing.

Make money.

They do that by any means necessary. Currently inclusivity is the rage.

It should enrage snowflakes like yourself.

The market will decide if this line of clothing sucks or not.

That's why we call it the free market.

Choose to do what we want to do?

You mean like be black and say something conservative without being called an Uncle Tom?

Or like being conservative and nominated to scotus and having innocent until proven guilty as a standard like anybody else?

Or maybe seeing in trump’s Cabinet and being able to dine out in peace?

Has anybody suggested that you or Kaepernick can’t do what you want? Both of you can. And the rest of us can decide if we want to boycott you.

Kaepernick is still free to kneel anytime he hears the anthem. Nobody has ever stopped him from doing what he wants.

So Nike's stock is up?

That's great and all but none of that matters until we see an earnings report. You do realize how stupid it is to judge a company's direction on short term stock movement in today's world, right?

Tesla bombed for a day because Musk took a hit of a joint.
