The Blueprint Worked So Well For The NFL, Why Wouldn't Nike Get In On The Action?

CORPORATE SUICIDE WATCH, NIKE EDITION

Nike has chosen the star of its 30th anniversary #JustDoIt advertising campaign: Colin Kaepernick. At first glance, it seems weird for an athletic shoe company to select as its corporate icon someone who is no longer an athlete, and was never a star. At second glance, it gets weirder:

Nike calculated this a million times with people smarter than you. They know what they're doing.

Sure just ignore my thread I aready started on the topic everyone.

Anyway Pete, companies make mistakes all the time. That's been proven over and over again.

Nike just underestimated how many of their own customers Colin pissed off with his own antics.

Nike stock has fallen 3% today and there is zero chance that Nike thought "well our stock will fall 3% but that's ok"

Please provide this number of customers Nike pissed off. You know, Nike is a global brand. It does not worry about losing a few thousand customers. 3% one day swing is not a blip in the time frame Nike execs are calculating for. Quit your snowflake rage.

Commenting on a topic is not raging snowflake

Time for a Gunny's Buy American consumer report

Nike is a corporation based in Oregon; hence, the claim it is an "American" product.

Beneath the surface, Nike has moved a lot of its operations overseas. It has been under the scrutiny of various watchdog groups for selling sweat shop products made in Indonesia, Vietnam and/or the Philippines. The haze surrounding its overseas operation is as thick as it gets with Nike providing no REAL answers other than at one point they had to settle with one fo the countries by bringing their pay up to minimum wage.

I know for a fact they quit making some of their running shoes in the US back in the 90s because I always wore Mike Air Max. When they moved the operation to SE Asia, they changed the last of the shoe (the form for the sole) making it slimmer and rendering Nike running shoes useless to me.

I will do not and will not use Nike products nor wear any of its propaganda. If I did, I'd throw it all away for this crap with Kaepernick. He's a POS. So's Nike as far as I'm concerned.

Can you link me to your post? I’ll merge them under the first posted chronologically.

So... Nike stock continues to fall, and they've lost $4.2 BILLION so far.

I hope it's worth it, because this is only the beginning.

I'm actually glad these idiot SJW leftists identify themselves, so I can avoid their products.

Have seen a handful of videos of people burning a pair of nike trainers, because that’s the sane think to do ^,^;

Does the NFL itself have an associated/official sports brand?

I'm not worried about it in the least, was just teasing . I just thought this was an interesting topic. One has to wonder why these companies keep making these moves that almost always end up with them losing market share. It's as if they don't care that they are irking a large base of potential and or actual customers.

I’d say the explanation is they are true believers, and therefore their leftist ideology “trumps” common sense, business acumen, and decency.

Regarding Nike stock value -

True it has fallen a bit in the last few days, but it’s only fallen to where it’s stock was a month ago - compared to the start of this year, or this time last year, its stock is way up.

Time will tell if this is the start of some big drop in its stock value, but it’s a little premature to consider this much of anything at all.

Why don't you just grab your little faggot pom-poms and start cheering for Nike... "YAAAAY NIKE, THEY HATE THE AMERICAN FLAG AND NATIONAL ANTHEM AS MUCH AS I DO... YOU RAH-RAH, NIKE"... ass wipe.
