Fck nike and anyone that supports them....

Or....its just a shoe. And you getting worked up is part of their marketing campaign.

Hahaha Nike is losing money lmao hopefully it grows to even a bigger loss.

They're not losing money. Market caps shift all the time.

Nike loses money if their sales go down.

Nike/Kaepernick Ad Is Corporate Virtue Signaling

Nike has just released a new ad campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick. Paul explains that this is nothing more than corporate virtue signaling to sell more product.

Its Nike picking a side on a social issue. The same side as their target demo.

Okay, that's funny

Siding with good always works out in the long run. A good first step for Nike. Losing the butthurt Trump sheep segment of their market won’t be much of a loss.

Perhaps, but siding with evil as Nike has done is just fucking stupid.

They deserve to go bankrupt over this.

Must be why it worked out so well for them.

Hatred of America is what you Stalinists sell, but most of America isn't buying, Comrade.

LMAO!!! Colin Kapaernick has turned protesting social injustice and oppression into quite a lucrative business for himself. His loyal followers are buying his BS and he's laughing all the way to the bank.

Being sincere and making a buck aren't mutually exclusive. Its entirely possible to do both.

Their stockholders lost 4 billion, not Nike. I would be willing to bet that by the end of this week their stock is back to above where it started today, in fact I may put my money where my mouth and buy some if they drop at all in the AM.

This move was not about you and I, this move, according to Nike themselves was targeted at 15-17 year olds. Not for now, but for the future.

It's clearly not working out as planned, regardless of what ages they target.

Is nobody capable of looking beyond 20 minutes into the future?

You really think the folks at Nike are going "well, we did not see that coming"...of course they did, they knew it was going to happen, hell they were counting on it happening. What is the old saying, "any press is good press".

Are you sports fan? When you watch a football game, do you say after the first incomplete pass, "well that passing stuff is not working out!"

This is not about today or this week, this is about 10 years from now, 20 years from now.

I wonder, if their stock gains back the 3 points that it lost today by Friday will you be like "well, that worked great"?

They have a nice new shiny 8 year contract with the NFL to tide them over until the middle aged white guys quit being mad at them!

And in the meantime we all get to laugh at the righties burning their own shoes and clothes.

There are only a few of those people. The rest of us simply wont buy their products.

Old angry white guys were never really Nike's target demo, anyway. They're a youth oriented brand.

And they're marketing to their base.

Well, i think you are undervaluing the "old white guy" consumer base, but regardless, old white men are the ones who buy Nike shoes for those young white kids. I bet there are going to be A LOT of disappointed kids now.

Give it time. Most people who most disliked his kneeling are old and are NOT the demographic Nike is shooting for.

It may not work in the long run...but it is impossible to know that after a few days. It's an ad campaign, they take time to sink in.

Clearly, the old farts on the right (especially Trumpbots) desperately want this to fail.

That alone has me hoping it will work.

Look; it's racist!! If white guys don't buy Nikes, how are the hood brothers going to be able to steal their shoes??

oNike will pay the price and it can't happen soon enough. I know I won't touch nike shit made in China.........Nothing but slave labor .

Kapernick a wanna be black asshole who ............Which because he isn't fully a black person makes him like one of those whites who want to be black so they go around actingg like one . Not educated ones either they act like trailer trash.

All depends ... Their competitors Puma (-8.00) and Adidas (-4.80) took a similar hit during the same period (according to the graph you provided), although those brands are European. I doubt that had anything to do with Colin Kaepernick.

Wonder if there is going to be a new job opening in the Nike promotions dept. tomorrow?

Nope, but I bet someone gets a raise. When was the last time Nike was talked about this much?

Did you learn nothing from your savior in the White House, any press is good press.

How is that siding with good?

For a liberal attacking the USA is always good.

They are anti-American scum.

These people do not seem to understand how stocks work. Why is that unsurprising?
