So i took 30 seconds to read thru comments. Some claim this is a fake account. Some are boycotting nike. Some are making fun of those boycotting nike.
I dont give a 17 if its real or not and if people boycott or not.
I just decided to reply to this post because the level of difficulty in verifying **** these days is off the charts difficult. Look at this example- people cant even agree on if the tweet is legit or not.
The irony posts, fake news claims, bots retweeting ****, trolls trollin, and satire comments all lead to some murky 17ing **** we are all now swimming in.
Well, that was my monthly dive into Twitter. Still a cesspool, I see. Still better off without it.

It's a tweet from Kapernick's verified account and it's been retweeted on Nike's verified account. CK is sponsored by Nike and he's their headline for their 30th anniversary of the "Just Do It" campaign. They've been paying him for awhile and just waiting to announce it. Today they announced it and have been #1 on twitter for 12 straight hours since. They've spent considerable amount of money sponsoring him and researching if this would be positive or negative for their brand. They've hit a gold mine of attention from it already and initial polls show they will make considerably more money from this than from those boycotting will cost them. https://twitter.com/Nike
He turned down a 7 million a year contract offer from the Denver Broncos because he felt he was worth double that.What world are we living in when turning down a 7 million dollar contract is know as a "sacrificing"?This dude is playing the martyr and all the while making bank and laughing at everyone for it.
My only hope is that the boycott will practically bankrupt Nike to the point that their only option is to sell the MSU logo to the school at a discount rate *

Political ******** aside, how in the holy 17 do you fill shoes worn by Bo Jackson and Michael Jordan with that dickhead
This is what I’m waiting for. I’m waiting for the **** to free fall and pick it up cheap. So everyone boycott the hell out of it. Under armour and addidas have passed Nike. Addidas shoes are really comfortable and some look really good.
I’ve been a Nike guy since I was a kid
Shoe wise anyway. I’ve had a few others, but probably 90% Nike.
I’m done now. Will never buy another pair. Goes for my family too.
The thing about “polarizing” subjects is that there’s an actual down side. A LOT of people disagree with Kaepernick’s political opinions. Those people, and there’s millions of them, will be just like me and walk away from Nike. Not like there isn’t competition just waiting to scoop them up. Stupid move.

As someone who was raised by merchants and has been in the retail business all of my life that's not even remotely the point. My question is WHY THE 17 would you make a conscientious decision to run off any significant portion of your customer base ?
Good point. I don't agree with him at all. He is like a child, if you ignore him, he will go away, except for a couple new outlets trying to bait the fringe on both sides of the political spectrum.
You have an intriguing argument, but he's not some social media wannabe. He was a big time NFL QB who played in a super bowl, and lost his damn mind. If not for his past (albeit brief) success he'd be just another Internet idiot, but big time networks and corporations keep resurrecting this ******* as a headline maker or some social experiment. Logical, reasonable people have a vote, too, and this one shall be cast by their wallets.

Also keep in mind Nike owns Cole Haan and converse so you know for when daughter wants to dress all sorority
Geezus Nike...in the future reconsider closeups for your spokesman....Some people just can't pull that off. This should be a "before photo" in an ad for Biore.

Of course it was but the typical CK objector doesn’t care about the time line of events or that peaceful protests of any kind are a constitutional right or that our country is nation founded by protestors. Our laws are set up to protect all people not just those that you agree with but your average middle class white male just wants everyone they disagree with to be quiet.
Like Chris Rock so famously said, “there isn’t a single white person who would trade places with me and I’m rich.”

I may be way off but the people I see that are the most outspoken against ole boy and his actions are not the type that would buy Nike stuff. I would see them wearing (stereotypically) Carhart, Wrangler, Cinch, etc... Granted, I do not watch or read the news and see who is against or for him. I personally could care less about the whole situation. I’m ready to watch a sporting event that does not involve politics.
The people in my small bubble in MS that are against him would not buy Nike anyway. The people that support him wear Nike socks, shoes, pants, shirt, and probably underwear all day everyday.
I am wrong in the big picture but correct in my bubble.
Guess it depends on the lens you are looking through.
