When Michael Jordan was asked why he refused to take public stances against conservatives...his very intelligent reply was that Republicans buy shoes too! Nike might want to think about that before they jump on the Colin Kaepernick bandwagon and start doing ridiculous things like agreeing that the Betsy Ross flag was a racist affront to blacks!DC's basically stabbed their own fan base in the back, but with Nike, they just pissed off about half the country and the CEO's need to be taught a lesson to not interject their ideology into their products.I have no problem with being for or against Trump, but keep your ideology to yourself, and don't shove it down the consumers throats.Not just a boycott a total market share transference. Everyone buy New Balance, they support Trump lets support them.I think there should be a large movement to start boycotting all Nike products. It will teach a valuable lesson to large corporations run by anti American Leftists. Hit them where it hurts and get some assholes fired in the process.
It really depends on the product in question, as to whether or not a merchant wants to get politically involved. If Nike is looking to put shoes on a Liberal Fan Base, I can't see where this will hurt them.
But they really have to understand the market.
Take the case of the Dixie Chicks. They were very popular with country music lovers for years, until they decided to tell their fans to "go to hell". The DC's said conservative money was no longer any good with them- they were looking for a sophisticated urbane, liberal Fan Base and if conservative music lovers could move out and quit listening to their music , it would be much appreciated.
Just didn't work out for them.
Libs applauded the DC's but they didn't buy their records or merchandise nor tickets for their concerts. Libs threw the DC's under the bus.
