Boycott NIKE!

[UsualName]

Let's make my stance clear so there is no misunderstanding:

• I will not support any athlete who disrespects our flag, our military, and our police.
  
• I will not watch games of any sport who allows their athletes to disrespect our flag, our military, and our police.
• I will not buy products from companies who promote their products using an athlete who disrespects our flag, our military, and our police.
• I will not buy products from any brand promoting BLM.
  
• I will not watch any games of any sport who allows their athletes to promote BLM.

Many in the U.S. -- including Millennials and Gen-X -- agree with my stance. This can bee seen in the recent drop in brand support among these groups for NIKE once they started this absurd campaign. A campaign built on the hated of cops, the hated of the military, the hatred of the flag and the hatred of the United States.

How is or was Colin Kaepernick disrespecting the flag?

We can get into blm in a second.

I am sure that all of Nike's competitors who will gain market share are enjoying their campaign.

Cant wait to bump this post in the future

We will see how things turn-out in the future. If Nike walks away from their advertising soon campaign then they may quickly recover. However the company seems intent on doubling-down on their absurd nonsense.

That I agree with. He was disrespectful to the police and he should apologize if he hasn’t already but you stated you oppose the disrespect of the flag. How did Kaepernick disrespect the flag?

Why don't you go query a few military members about this.

Well, militarily member opinions are as varied as non military members. You should see my Facebook page about this.

You don’t want to answer the question because kneeling isn’t disrespectful, sitting is. Kneeling is actually respectful but also conveys a message of distress and hurt - that’s the point he is making by kneeling.

Everyone else gets the message except the Trump people and your opposition is actually a form of support for the status quo of the racial disparity in the justice system.

Unless you support people getting longer prison sentences for the same crimes because they’re black. Do you support that?

I'm a vet (gulf war), are you?
I may not agree with the methods, but Colin K has every right to do what he does.

He does NOT have the right to do what he does while on the job on his employers premise (which is why he no longer works for the NFL).

You do not have "free speech" in your employers workplace when it offends the majority of customers.

As noted in many news reports - even activity that offends people while not on the job is grounds for immediate employment dismissal.

And this is the difference between patriotism and nationalism.

Patriotism stands up for the ideals of our country, even when we don’t agree with the methods.

Nationalism tries to force tribal ideologies on free people.

You, Mr. Constitutionman, deserve a tip of the hat.
