NIKE would do well to tell Colin Kaepernick to go piss up a rope and cut him off from all endorsement contracts. I’ve heard the shoes they had already shipped to the UK are selling for $2500 a pair!
Colin is a washed up worthless turd anyway…even though their stock seems to have gone up 1.5% recently. I think it would go up more if they reversed their decision and kicked his ass off their team.
It is my understanding that Nike’s decision to pull this “offensive” shoe–and it was purely an amoral, business decision–was due to the fact that this would appeal (they believed, anyway) to their target group: which is to say, young, African-American males.
This almost seems to imply that Nike believes that young black males are not only unpatriotic–but actively anti-patriotic.
I am not at all certain that this is a compliment to young, black males.
Lets be honest: Kaepernick is a professional virtue signaler and token victim, and Nike is his employer.
He was supposed to be the prodigal minority QB that would bring the SF 69ers out of their slump into the championship, breaking the stereotype that most competent QBs are whyte.
Well, Nike missed the boat a Long time ago when Doug Williams became the first African American to break that stereo type by winning the Super Bowl while playing for the Washington Redskins back in the 80’s! So you are correct on both accounts about Nike’s agenda and Krapollanick being a professional virtue signaler!
So Monty why didn’t you snowflakes whine and cry and complain when Betsy Ross flag flew at Obama inauguration Black men can do NO wrong with the original slave owning , flip-flopping, liberal trash .
