I wish I could boycott Nike

[M16]

But I’ve never bought any of their crap.

I don't think I have ever bought or worn anything with the swoosh either...I don't see how this biz decision got approved?? Seems asinine & will certainly cause them some grief.

Not surprising from a company that makes billions of the sweat of chinese children.

It was made because the only people that believe that kneeling is disrespectful are old and considered out of touch. That’s not NIKE’s demographic.

There are a few youngins here and there, but overall everyone seems to understand he’s not hurting or disrespecting anyone.

Ban Nike 4 ever

[Mike Javi Cooper]

Aw crap.. another company I can't boycott, 'cause I never bought their stuff no way..

[Artos]

I disagree...I don't think I'm that old or out of touch. I don't care if one thinks it's disrespectful or not. It mostly ****** people off, period. Especially considering the history of CK's upbringing & history. I understand your point, but you are certainly in the minority on this here on little ole TBH & not sure why you would anyone thinks it's a novel approach to promote a brand??

Sure, the direct market segment that supports CK will go out & spend some jack, but Tiger Woods also reps Nike & bet the vast amount of his followers will stop purchasing when this gets out.

I stand by my statement that it's simply a stupid & horrible business decision in general with so many other figures out there sans controversy. Purely idiotic actually.

Forget what is disrespectful...share holders will be ******.

I'm old and a Nam combat veteran. He's disrespecting my friends who came home with the American Flag draped over their coffins.

Won’t stop me from buying Nike.

then call me old and out of touch...

JJ I think that you usually have a good head on your shoulders.

but it has turned into a situation where if you don't stand, then you are against the country that has afforded you the opportunity to make the millions of dollars a year that they make.

maybe they should put their money where their mouths are and start doing something to change what they think is wrong with society.

but NO most of them rather raise hell and bitchaboutit.

some thing will never change it seems

My Grandfather served in the Army during WW2, and my Dad served as a Marine. They both don’t see it as disrespectful. They don’t agree with it, but they understand it’s his right that they fought for. (Grandfather passed last October)

The Army Ranger that suggested the protest didn’t find it disrespectful either.

I believe if you check Kaep’s record since beginning his protest, he has definitely put his money where his mouth is.

I’ve said many times- I don’t like kneeling, but he’s not hurting anyone.

The OP is about Nike supporting a ding-dong who ruined his own career...we've hashed out the whole butt hurt on kneeling already several fold.

Those who dig this will & should Go buy some nike gear, email corp & tell them atta boy & help put some $$$$ in CK's wallet if you support his sponsorship...if you don't?? That's it.

Still would like to hear how paying CK to brand the swoosh to the entire buying public was an excellent decision in regards to promoting & selling product...maybe the adds will only run in Chicago??

[Death from Above]

Stop putting false information out...

The army ranger did not suggest a protest...he suggested kneeling over sitting.

Guess I won’t be buying Nike. Not that I did before, but I will make sure I don’t now
