I agree that Nike does not have to alienate one demographic to gain another.Middle Aged old white men have an impact on our economy but the impact is declining. Other demographic groups impact are increasing.Country music is almost exclusively the domain of middle aged white dudes, as such when a country star/group pissed them off there was nobody to pick up the slack, not to mention that radio stations took it upon themselves to not play them. I am betting that FootLocker and the like will not stop carrying Nike shoes.
I mentioned "among others". If your point is that middle aged white men don't make a difference, you'll probably fall victim to all the crap you didn't think of. I mean I get your point about radio stations as well, but you might of missed the fact that I am not surprised a corporation based in Beaverton, Oregon came up with the stupid idea of using Colin Keapernick to promote their shoes/athletic gear.
Nike is going after the demographic they see as having the most buying power for the future.
You needle is skipping.
We got what you are saying, you are just wrong.
Nike doesn't need to ALIENATE one Demographic for another.
DERP DERP DERP DERP
Ask the NFL.
DERPITIE DERP DERP.
How do you not drown when its raining?
The majority of the younger generation has much fewer racists like you and they are trying to find ways to reduce the number of racists any further.The majority of young people are not anti-police or anti-American. They interpret the NFL taking a knee as a statement on racial injustice trying to make America better and it is not anti-police.Nike understands there will be many like you but many more will act the opposite of you. That demographic is younger and richer and will be around a lot longer than you.
“Nike understands there will be many like you but many more will act the opposite of you. That demographic is younger and richer and will be around a lot longer than you.”
Translation:
“Nike understands there will be many good, patriotic folks like you but many more will act like unAmerican pieces of shits. That demographic is younger, less American, richer and will be around a lot longer than you. America isn’t American anymore.”
Elmer is making the assumption that all younger people are anti-police or anti-American. To some degree, you will probably find more younger people that feel that way than older people, but I'm sure there is an equal amount of younger people that feel the same way we do.
The "we" you refer to is a diminishing population who do not understand the world we currently live in.
You make incorrect assumptions because you think like it is still 1960.
The world is passing you by and you are trying to hold it back because you cannot keep up.
The new world can be a better place than the world you want but it will not be without many problems. One of the problems are people like you.
Your “racial injustice” bullshit is pure fabrication by lowlife pieces of shits.
Ghetto Blacks, the ones getting shot and or killed are ignorant, low iQ, insubordinate fools who can’t follow simple commands...That’s why they get shot. Anyone sane and not a ghetto lowlife knows this as fact.
How would these same “young people” you speak of act if good Americans held an annual protest against welfare dependency and criminality on MLK Day?
Major corporations fire people that openly advocate thinking like yours.
You are a sorry excuse for a human. It is very sad to see people like you.
So young successful people are inspired by attention whore losers. Got it sounds brilliant.They are targeting a young demographic that will continue to have increased disposable income and be a potential customer for a long time.You said and I quote "This is a long term strategy for NIKE." So what else am I supposed to conclude?You do not listen very well. I said Nike was chasing dollars not making a political statement. So are thousands of other companies. I never said Nike is the best.But with those whizz bang NIKE analytics and the new generation that is all open minded and shit, the stock is can't miss, amiright?Short term will give some indication of the results but Nike is betting on the long run. They have received an estimated 43 million dollars of free advertising in news coverage in the past 24 hours.
According to what Elmer has said, he should liquidate all other positions and go long on Nike.
Like most Trumpsters you have 2+2 and get 5
The demographic that most likely be negatively affected by the ad, tend to be older with declining income.
Nike made a business decision not a political statement in running their recent add with Colin Kaepernick.
They are chasing the dollars.
They realize the vast majority of people who will stop buying their products because of the add is outweighed by the increases they will receive by those who do not feel strongly about or support Kaepernick.
This is a statement about who will be the strongest demographic with the most disposable income in the future pro-Trumpers or anti-Trumpers
you do not understand demographic analysis.The middle aged white dudes that boycotted the Dixie Chicks are old white guys that are dying off and making less money. Most consumer companies do not care about them.That's what you are going to go on? Really? A couple of videos of white people burning Niki products?
That and the only people I know personally that are upset by all this are middle aged white men.
Ask the Dixie Chicks about what happens when you piss middle aged white dudes off (among others). Even Natalie Maines will tell you she is pretty sure "we" have not learned anything from what happened, and doesn't recognize she keeps getting in trouble because it's her that hasn't learned yet.
Hold on...all age groups of “white dudes” make more than all age groups of Brownies...are you confused or lying?
What else can I teach you?
The NFL prime demographic is different than Nike's prime demographic.Nike made a business decision not a political statement in running their recent add with Colin Kaepernick.
They are chasing the dollars.
They realize the vast majority of people who will stop buying their products because of the add is outweighed by the increases they will receive by those who do not feel strongly about or support Kaepernick.

Just ask the NFL how that is working out for them
That is your interpretation and ultimate actions. There are many like you, but substantially more that do not think like you and will continue to look positively about Nike. They are not anti-American or anti-police. They think differently.

people can think whatever they want, and that will never change the fact Nike obviously doesn't want the money I was giving to them, if out of the hundreds of millions of Americans they could find a decent story to support their brand, they chose Colin Keapernick. That isn't a statement about what I think happened, or may happen in the future, it's going to happen for sure.
When I buy Athletic gear, it doesn't have a damn thing to do with being Anti-American or Anti-Police, and that's the mistake Nike made. It's why they are going to be losing money (no matter how insignificant anyone wants to say it is).
If you want to suggest that Nike doesn't give a rat's ass about their customers, and would be more interested in chasing a demographic instead of providing the customer with a better product, I'm not going to argue with that ignorance.
I have envisioned Doc as not wearing shoes and lives in a single wideThat is your interpretation and ultimate actions.

I've always bought Nike. I'll switch to New Balance now.
15-17 year old usually need their 35+ year old parents help in buying $100+ shoes. if this is their ploy then they should fire the ad agency. if in-house, hire one.
but yea, buy in a panic cause the panic never lasts and it recovers almost every time. when the news is over then look to see if you sell and make money or keep the gamble going.
Now you are doing the same thing as the rest, looking 20 minutes down the road.
10 years from now those 15-17 year olds will be 25-27 with their own source of income. This is not about today or next month, this is about the future.
I get the looking toward the future, but do 15-17 year olds even care about a QB who is at the end of their career? Derek Carr, Baker Mayfield, and younger up and comers be more of the target for the 15-17 year olds? Do young Nike shoe buyers care about Kaepernick’s cause? In 10 years do we ever hear of Kaepernick again? If what you are saying is true, it makes little sense, if you are wanting to go after the 22-30 market, that would make sense as they can identify and can get behind the politics of Kaepernick and hang on to Nike for years to come. I quit buying Nike’s in my mid to late 30’s, that is the demographic they need to keep. Just my opinion.
It isn't 15-17 year olds who are investing in the stock market, however. Nor is it the 15-17 year olds who are coughing up most of the significant amount of cash to pay for Nike products. So if enough patriotic parents are offended by disrespect for the flag and the country and/or 'believing' in what should be condemned or should be expressed in more appropriate ways, then the products those kids think they 'must have' may not be much of a factor because those kids will be steered to another product.
once again, it seems nobody can think past the next 20 minutes. One down day for the stocks and it is the end of the world as we know it for Nike. Hell, I know it is early but right now Nike is out preforming the market so far for the day.
And that could easily be them buying their own stock back to keep it from collapsing entirely. We'll see how it goes.

yes you could still be a racists. Many racists like blacks. There are blatant racists; KKK etc. The majority of racists are not blatant. They do not hate blacks, they believe in white privilege and blacks better not infringe on that.

Oh please, it went down a mere 3%, and almost all of that drop took place in two hours. Their stock is still up more than 50% since last Sept. I think everyone here would be happy with that growth.

You’re talking in circles bud...you addressed nothing in my post..you simply screamed RACIST at the sky. Who taught you to ignore the truth and throw “racism” over the top of it? Why does the truth make you piss your pants?
