Dude, just shut the f up. No one here is interested in your cogent, insightful, and accurate assessments. Can you give one good reason why someone like Soros would like to profit off of the emotions of less savvy investors? Are you saying that heavy players like Soros would try to manipulate the market to gain an advantage? Why would he do that?
Sure. But I still wonder who is going to buy $35 Kap shirts. Inner city going to be rocking them? I don't know. Not sure I see that as the next "thing". No one was wearing Starbury's when I was living in the Bronx. The culture goes for who the hottest players are. Kap might fit the "movement" narrative, but not the sports one.
I guess I don't see the increase outdoing the boycott.
Also, it's just a discussion. People are getting waaaaaay too worked up over opinions, shoes and an athlete who, more or less, seems like a decent dude. A lot of this is just bipartisan nonsense.
Might as well go ahead and duct tape your hands to your cock...
How and why does Woodward’s book end up in this article? Has absolutely nothing to do with Mueller conceding he has nothing on Trump.
I am fairly certain every athlete will be wearing his gear...football players will be wearing it during their warmups as will all NBA players. Once that happens, most of the public will be doing the same.
It’s the absolute truth do not run comply with officers not that hard
I think they’re terrible. But, I sure as shit ain’t burning my sweet Nike dry-fit UK apparel with this GD heatwave going on.
You have no proof of racism u say it’s deeper to understand .. that’s code for you ar totally full of shit and have no proof. Oppression against blacks is a total myth , a tool to extort from innocent citizens
. A cop shooting a guy who is reaching for his gun is called justice. The rams protested Ferguson and that is totally how law enforcement works. Michal brown was a catalyst for the fake civil rights movement and he is totally where he belongs . Piss on him and Ferguson the answer toinjustice against blacks is justice “demands “ or people get hurt and property gets destroyed .. if you to subscribe to that mentality there are tax payer bullets designated for you

But what if there arent any women qualified..that's not the companies fault and puts everyone at a disadvantage to conduct their business. If a woman deserves to be on the board she'll get hired...companies want fo maximize production so theyll hire whatever gives them the best chance to do so
Boys, if anyone thinks shit isn’t going to get much worse, dangerously worse, they are naive. The left is off the rails.
Crazy doesn’t just stop being crazy. You are going to see Weather Underground type stuff from the left. And when they get back in power, they will take weaponizing agencies against conservatives to a whole new level.

Wearing it where? From their homes, maybe. You think the NBA is going to allow players to have that shirt on anywhere other than walking into the arena?
And since when do athletes wear shirts of other athletes? It's one thing if it's Ali, JR, etc.. James Harden isn't going to wear an out-of-the-league QB on a t-shirt more than once, if ever.
I'm sure it will garner sales, probably from areas we don't expect. I think something like this will *could* a hit with the urban lefties more than it would the inner-city. And if all the sudden shirts of CK start flying off the shelves, further entrenching Nike on CK's side.. does the Right dig deeper?
Woke Sports
Bruce Jenner who hasn’t been an athlete in 40 years getting the ESPY courage award for giving himself tits (and after he killed a woman in a car accident).
Colin Kaepernick, a crappy backup QB who hasn’t been in the league in two years gets to be the face of Nike.
What else can the left ruin while virtue signaling?

Follow the money. Big business is on the side of the left today for a reason. Eventually They will corrupt the system to the point of no return. It's been happening since the immigration act. Big business only cares about dollars, they think they are on the side of future opinion.
Luckily enough, we have a way out. Just always fill in Hispanic on job / college applications. For your kids as well, it could save their ass one day.
This is what happens when you allow racism in accepted forms. It's a cycle.
I will never understand how people get so worked up about something that has zero effect on their lives. What Nike does, what Kapernick does, doesn't really mean jack shit. Why get your blood pressure up over it? Pointless.
I mean 50 sounds good to. But the
he already released the audio and transcript of his Trump call. Woodward has been dealing with shady presidents for 50 years. he ain't scared of their power and he doesn't bluff. people speak the truth to him because he is respected for no bullshit.
this is how nike has always worked. they give no ****s about snowflake bigots crying on facebook. did they run from Tiger when he was in trouble? did they run from Kobe? they don't care about some silly white people burning socks and $20 shoes from khols. their money is in the big dollar shoes that nobody is going to stop buying. all that market value will come right back and nike will laugh to the bank.
you thought Trumps guys would come out and say some thing else? "ya i did shit talk my boss 24/7 and i hope he chokes on his baby pecker!" DC is nothing but backstabbing pussies.
You're not comprehending. It doesn't have to be him that's bluffing. Most of all his damaging accusations are from third party sources or not sourced at all. This isn't a game of telephone. Just because he found a Trump hater to claim these things about Mattis and Kelly doesn't make them true, especially when Mattis and Kelly are on record with strong denials.
Kelly nor Mattis are "DC", and they both have more credibility and political capital than any anonymous, third party source Woodward may have dug up, so even if he does produce a tape (which is doubtful) of some random, anonymous hack claiming Kelly and/or Mattis said these things, it's a he said, he said, their word against Kelly's and Mattis' word.
Honestly, who do you think the majority is going to believe? Kelly/Mattis or a third party source to coward to go on record? This is a Wolff rerun. CNN is already using the same exact 'unfit for office' language. I laughed at you then and I'm laughing you now. You can't help yourself, can you?
Couldn't you just have one guy take one for the team and say he identifies as a woman?
Cruz killed it.
And Kavanaugh turned over more documents than the last five justices combined?

Trump fan fiction is like 50 Shades of Grey for these freaks.
By the way, these anonymous sources claim Dowd said those things about Trump during a mock interview at Mueller's office in January and after a meeting with Mueller in March, which makes perfect sense considering what they claim Dowd said.
The only problem with that is, Dowd and Sekulow, both of which were accused in the book of participating in said mock interview and attending said meeting, are on record denying that the January mock interview and the March meeting ever took place. Do you realize how easy it would be to prove them wrong if they're lying?
I'm talking about the anonymous source stuff which of course is all the salacious fiction he hopes will sell books. And it will.
For profit companies owe their stock holders one duty - to maximize profits.
Sticking with tiger was a no brainer. He was the only show in golf. Still by far the biggest draw. Plus noone was leaving Nike because of that.
Kap is totally different. Loads of endorsement options in football. They have nothing to gain. Can only lose, which they have to date. That's why investors are rightfully upset.
Wouldn't surprise me to see some derivative lawsuits out of this if the price doesn't completely rebound.
Did you happen to listen to the audio or read the transcript, specifically this part, what Woodward told Trump about his sources - "I think there’s nothing in this book that doesn’t come from a firsthand source."?
Needless to say, that's straight up bullshit. Absolutely none of the quotes we heard about today that were attributed to Kelly, Mattis, Dowd, Sekulow, etc, were firsthand.
Cant wait for the left to get twitter banned bc of their alex jones behavior
The rise of post-truth liberalism
Visiting New York a few weeks after Trump’s victory in the presidential election, I found myself immersed in a mass psychosis. The city’s intelligentsia was possessed by visions of conspiracy. No one showed any interest in the reasons Trump supporters may have had for voting as they did. Quite a few cited the low intelligence, poor education and retrograde values of the nearly 63 million Americans who voted for him. What was most striking was how many of those with whom I talked flatly rejected the result. The election, they were convinced, had been engineered by a hostile power. It was this malignant influence, not any default of American society, that had upended the political order.
Conspiracy theory has long been associated with the irrational extremes of politics. The notion that political events can be explained by the workings of hidden forces has always been seen by liberals as a sign of delusional thinking. Yet in New York in December 2016, many of the brightest liberal minds exhibited the same derangement. Nearly two years later, they continue to reach to conspiracy theory as an explanation for their defeat.
For those who embrace it, a paranoid style of liberalism has some advantages. Relieved from any responsibility for the debacles they have presided over, the liberal elites that have been in power in many western countries for much of the past 30 years can enjoy the sensation of being victims of forces beyond their control. Conspiracy theory implies there is nothing fundamentally wrong with liberal societies, and places the causes of their disorder outside them. No one can reasonably doubt that the Russian state has been intervening in western politics. Yet only minds unhinged from reality can imagine that the decline of liberalism is being masterminded by Vladimir Putin. The principal causes of disorder in liberal societies are in those societies themselves.
