Here is why Nike did the Kaepernick ad

[TNHarley]

$0

But since I just turned 50, I’m officially an old guy.

My kids (14 and 18) love Nike shoes and I have spent literally thousands of dollars on Nike products over the past 18 years.

My older son came to me today and said he is now into Addidas. He said that trying to be political makes Nike not cool...regardless of the side you are on.

Just one persons opinion, but I will literally not be dropping another dime on Nike products.

It’s not the they have Kap in an ad, it’s that they made him out to be some sort of hero. He is not, he is a stupid jackass.

I see where you are coming from... You like your black men to shut up and accept Police harassment...

That is the funny thing... You attack Kaepernick but fail to address what he is actually protesting....

Should Black people be killed at 4 times the rate as white people?
Should they be jailed for longer times for the exact same crime as white people?
Should he be allowed to voice his opinion to reach the largest audience possible?

You might accuse Kaepernick of a lot of things but it was easier to stand than kneel...

Should the cops treat black people differently?
Should the entire country have one judge, one jury and people not consider repeat offenders and such? Or their tendency to be violent? Or the 100 other things judges and juries consider?
Its not so black and white. Maybe if you and the authoritarian retard would think about shit like that, instead of just react, none of this shit would be happening.

I guess Cops should start killing more women.

Why don't they? (ANSWER: WOMEN COMMITT LESS VIOLENT CRIMES THAN MEN)

Insert that answer into any other Democragphic issue

Cops treat women differently. Za Za Gabor famously slapped a cop. If she was a black man she would’ve been beaten To a pulp .

Yes because im sure cops let dudes slap them around all the time.
Goddamn you people sound like morons.

FYI I think what Kaepernick did was offensive and stupid.

But what I think doesn't change empirical fact.

To many ideologues - and that includes most people here - they want to believe that what they believe is empirical fact.

But it's not.

I think this where I disagree with you...

America has brainwashed its self that emblems of America should be treated sacred...

To the rest of the world being patriotic is not standing for an anthem or respecting the flag, that is just good manners.

Being patriotic is looking after you fellow country man/woman) even though you might not know them and they have different view. We row together because our society better together.
- That is paying taxes and knowing it going to places that better our country and society.

Being patriotic is treating our fellow country men/woman with respect even though we disagree.
- This is not taking the side of a war criminal over your fellow citizens...

Being patriotic when dealing with other countries is to represent your country. Act in the way that doesn't hurt the next time your countryman meets them.
- Acting childish and insulting doesn't help them..

How come KAP is seen as disrespecting the flag but all these blue line police American flags are not disrespecting old glory ?

it isn't old glory. Old glory is red white and blue. that flag is support for police. Called the blueline flag. started in England I believe.

It’s a desecration to the American flag .

it stands for police. you should look it up. I know what the old glory is. you should too. cause that one isn't it.

perhaps so, it's called a threat level. and if you were any kind of scholar, you would know what that means. but alas, you're but a sorry ass sport who despises law and order.

Exactly.

Exercising one’s right to engage in peaceful, lawful protest is an act of patriotism – including kneeling during the anthem to bring attention to an issue one is concerned about.

Seeking to vilify those who engage in peaceful, lawful protest with false accusations of being ‘un-American’ or ‘hostile to police’ is cowardly and reprehensible.

how you figure? cops stand at attention to both the blue flag and old glory, they respect both. they also participate in community and protect those who need protecting from assholes like you! they are a proud group, who you and copperneck wish to shit on. you lost all of my respect punk.

Some of them abuse their power and violate citizens rights . And they are allowed to do so by aaa kissers like yourself .

Kaps protest has nothing to do with the military. He’s out there protesting agianst police brutality and profiling. Are you for those things?

I agree. Now who is spending the dollars to buy those shoes?

Since the chart starts at 20....I would imagine those people asked are.

happens in the military as well and they are punished. jailed lose their jobs. they also loose their lives running into someone elses man cave who have guns and other weapons. there isn't one person in this country that will say there aren't bad cops out there, and there are bad ones that mistreat white men, white boys and white women. so don't think you're gonna slime me with black this and that fk.

Nike might very well be trying to appeal to young people not sure making Kaepernick your spokesperson or face of your company is the way to do it. Nor am I sure getting involved with political causes is the best for business either Dick's sporting goods decided to do that with their AR-15 stance it hurt not helped them.

That may very well be, but guess what...……………….Christmas presents, birthday presents, and any other kind of present purchased by us for our children and grandchildren, will now not be Nike. We supply the cash until young people get a job, and for most of us, our cash will not be used for anything that says ANike. Take that to the bank, and cash that check!

And, by market research, NIKE has determined that losing your business is of no concern to them.

New Balance that are made in America is only the 990s and they are $200.

Nike bought Converse and now make Chucks overseas.

Well boycotting Nike an American company because a blackman is protesting injustice , and buying adidas froma socialist country that you trump hate so much tells me, that you are just sheep and have no principals.
