I don't think that's all that likely. But getting asked "Just douche it?" or the comment "Nice douchewear!" and the like might  "America is at that awkward stage.

You must be looking at their walking shoes. They look that way because they have a lot of pronation support for the elderly. If you want snazzy looking NB's take a look at their running shoe line. You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless. NRA Benefactor/Patriot Member | |||

The funny thing is that Denver offered him a two-year contract for $7 million this summer, but wasn't willing to cover the difference between that and the $12 million from SF. He rejected it and then went on complaining that no one in the NFL wanted him to play. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Maybe Nike is getting into the sports Knee pad market.... | |||

Wait, what? |
More indications that Nike has stepped in it; I can’t wait to see where they are at the closing bell. https://www.usatoday.com/story...s-new-deal/37706795/ “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

I thought I was done with Nike when they gave Michael Vick an endorsement deal, fresh out of prison. Now, I am really done. Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

I am not only going to never buy Nike again, but I am destroying my existing Nikes. "Crom is strong! If I die, I have to go before him, and he will ask me, 'What is the riddle of steel?' If I don't know it, he will cast me out of Valhalla and laugh at me." | |||

"Just do it" Nike slogan where it came from: “Let’s do it,” said by Gary Gilmore, just before he was executed https://www.washingtonpost.com...m_term=.db61b0ee759b ‘Just Do It’: The surprising and morbid origin story of Nike’s slogan | |||

You’re probably right. Nike dropped 3% at the open and came back a bit. One analyst says two out of three Nike consumers are under the age of 35 and their deal with Kap won’t hurt them. However, the NFL screwed the pooch by getting in bed with them. Boston sports radio is reporting a homeless charity is pleading don’t burn your Nike wear. Donate it. | |||

Soon enough, hopefully Nike will be donating tons of unsold merch to the homeless  ___________________________ No thanks, I've already got a penguin. | |||

After they came out and made a statement showing support for the IDIOT NFL kneelers last year, I got rid of my Nike stuff (large trash bag full). I thought of donating it to the homeless shelter/veterans group/ etc.. then though "Why should I do that, it will just mean someone will be walking around advertising Nike's shit." I went over to a local sport shop and purchased some generic non logo sweat shirts and donated those instead. Nike can go to hell... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice. | |||

My guess is that Nike's sales and stock price will not be affected by this for more than a few days. I just don't think many people care that much. There will be a lot of fury from a small minority, but not much actual impact. That small group that will care a lot are not big Nike customers. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I object because Nike is making a political statement and in so doing, legitimizing a lie of distortion to those inclined to believe it. They are legitimizing Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin and countless other illegitimate claims of police brutality. That population inclined to believe those deceptions also think that if there is one case of police brutality -and there have been- then ALL cases of force to comply are also police brutality. If all cases are police brutality then law enforcement is illegitimate. Nike, intentionally or no, legitimizes this fecality by partnering with Kaepernick. I don't wear Nikes nor do I watch the NFL so my abstinence means nothing. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

Delusions of Adequacy |
Kapernick is now a real life Al Bundy. A former football player who's a legend in his own mind, who now sells shoes. But at least Al scored four touchdowns in one game. Nike, now sold exclusively at Dick's Sporting Goods. I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||
