Couch was brought into a horrible situation(1st year of rebooted Browns) while Kap was traded to a team with 8 straight non winning seasons and a new head coach.. Kap had the luxury of sitting a year while Couch was thrown into an inferno. Fair or not, Couch is considered a bust due to being drafted #1...Kap 36th. A few more interceptions? Couch threw 67 int in 62(59st) games...Kap threw 30 int in 69(58st) games. Couch tossed 64 td to Kap 72td. Couch rushed for 556 yds and 2 TD...Kap 2300 yds and 13 TD.One was a pocket QB..the other dual-threat. they are not similar.

And Al Sharpton. I have more respect for Farrakhan than Sharpton. Farrakhan is open and vocal about his hatred of the white devils. Sharpton just uses them.
George Soros has already spent $15M on Democrats this year. He spent $26M in 2016.
Steyer has spent $30M on far left radicals.
Yet Dinesh D'Souza goes to prison.
I guess we'll see how it gets settled in court. No, nobody has the right to be a NFL QB but it is also illegal to collude to keep someone from being one.They don’t have to hire anyone Fuzz. There is no right to be an NFL QB, and if they thought he’d help their team he’d be on a team.
The benefit he may or may not have is outweighed by his cons.

who ever said Nike had a moral compass? they have a money compass and it works pretty damn good. They made 4billion in profit last year, don't think they give 2 shits about you broke ass forum warriors.I don't think Platinumdumb quite understands that comparing Kaepernick to Kobe Bryant, post credible rape accusation and trial, is going to win anyone over on Nike's ethical or moral compass.
Also, China is on the brink of a serious economic disaster, but they *OWNED* Trump by sending cash to a fat dictator?
They lost 4 billion in market value yesterday. I can assure you they care about that.who ever said Nike had a moral compass? they have a money compass and it works pretty damn good. They made 4billion in profit last year, don't think they give 2 shits about you broke ass forum warriors.
other administrations only founded our country, won world wars, built transcontinental railroads, built the highway system, created our intelligence apparatus, freed slaves, expanded civil rights for all. But Trump nominated some judges and sent out lots of tweets!
You kind of missed the points. Falling 3% after climbing 58% in the previous 12 months is a pretty myopic viewpoint....and they are currently sitting where they were about 30 days ago. The market is volatile and shifts happen. They had a one day mini sell-off which will likely all be regained with the next week or so. They are up .5% today.Nike hitting their all time high doesn't mean much when most companies are hitting their all time high. I don't think a one-off ad campaign with CK is going to do them in but they tried something new, took a political stance and they were met with backlash.
If tshirts and shoes of a failed athlete don't sell (as I'm predicting), Nike won't wait long to scrap this idea. A 3% dip SIMPLY for putting CK on an ad campaign should alarm any company that's willing to take a political stance PROVIDED(*) they continue down that road.
*Yes, I get other companies made one-off political moves, this is a bit different.
And will change the makeup of the Supreme Court once Kavanaugh is sworn in for decades to come.

they have gained a billion of it back today and are sitting at near record high value atm. Nobody at Nike is worried about going broke. through 2 quarters they are sitting at 1.93 billion net income.They lost 4 billion in market value yesterday. I can assure you they care about that.
Translation: It's unfortunate Trump is an R rather than a D. All we have to offer from our side are kooks, loons and similar trash.other administrations only founded our country, won world wars, built transcontinental railroads, built the highway system, created our intelligence apparatus, freed slaves, expanded civil rights for all.

No one said Nike was going broke. As far as the true change in market value, that won’t be known for a long time.they have gained a billion of it back today and are sitting at near record high value atm. Nobody at Nike is worried about going broke. through 2 quarters they are sitting at 1.93 billion net income.
Good question. Think that will be the argument they will make in court?Why would an owner care if his rival grabbed a low-level QB and therefore had to deal with the headache? Why would Robert Kraft work with Woody Johnson to make sure Kaep doesn't have a job?
Not sure what the owners are trying to achieve by keeping one player from a job. There are countless other players taking up Kaeps fight, and there's a half dozen other reasons why viewership/attendance is down. The owners aren't dumb, they wouldn't spend much effort making sure Kaep doesn't keep a fellow rival from making the playoffs.

You're also betting against Nike marketing that has a pretty good track record. Again, you're likely not their target audience and I'm guessing you don't know what moves that audience.

It's a paper loss. The only people who lost any money are those who bought in the last 2 weeks and sold yesterday.I get that Nike stock has done well otherwise. But that 3% drop was solely, 100%, caused by this one ad campaign. Yes, Nike didn't go bankrupt last night, no one thinks that. But it's still a loss. What happens if they take this further? If Nike digs their heals in, or decides to address Trump on this, more people will turn away.
It doesn't take a marketing degree to realize what this move, and further moves, have the potential to do. This wasn't just "putting a black man in an ad" that Nike did. This is unlike anything I can recall they've done. They took sides. And as far as a business move, they appear to have picked the wrong one.
Owners will likely be writing him a check...which he will likely turn around and give to his charitable causes.Let’s say Kap wins his case, then what?

I'll state this again for the ump-tenth time... the people turning away aren't their target audience to start with. Perhaps they HOPE Trump will challenge them just like he challenged Amazon so their stock can double again like Amazon has nearly done since Trump attacked them back in March.
Owners will likely be writing him a check...which he will likely turn around and give to his charitable causes.
Any of you been keeping track of the 2 planes from the Mideast where all passengers have been quarantined?
One in NYC and one in France, could be nothing but it seems a little odd. One for Flu and the other for cholera.

But how many people on each plane are wearing Nike gear? Let's stick to important topics, Bill.
