The Dumbest PR Campaign in the History of Nike?

[halekulani]

He discussed the idea with ex Army Green Beret Nate Boyer.

But, just because he did that doesn't mean any other active or former military members aren't offended. We aren't robots, we don't all think the same. I'm offended by it. Respect their right to do it but offended.

but i guess my point is he was mindful enough to review it with someone who had served in the military
sure you can feel offended, but certainly at least you can consider that offending someone isn't his primary intent.

the flag gives us the right and freedom to protest
we have the right to bear arms for the very possibility that if the government were not to work in our best interests that we would be able to protect ourselves.
people should have the right to demonstrate peacefully
kneeling is a very submissive gesture. i'm not sure why you're so offended by it. would you rather have them reenact the 1968 olympics?

Not sure how many times it needs to be said, but you have no right to protest on kneel while on the job. How many of these athletes were doing anything during the off-season in regards to this issue? Funny how the issue, the proven fake issue, doesn't concern them on their time.

While on the job you do exactly what your employer says, not what you feel like doing.

Is that Chris Dudley the former Knicks center?

He would foul Shaq all game

 

[PatsFan1283]

Dudley was not happy with Shaq's antics.

they can protest, on their own time

Although it would be much more productive to be proactive in their communities, and their message should be about fathers raising their children and ending the cycle of poverty and despair. Nobody is holding them down but themselves.

At the end of the day, their protests are bullshit. There is no systematic racism being practiced in this country, and they have absolutely no idea what suppression is. When they're talking about suppression, it's akin to Venezuela giving the world advise about economics, or Iran giving advise about human rights, or Trump and Clinton giving joint lecture on the virtues of being monogamous. The dots just don't connect.

He started dating a radical black activist, he let her fill his empty head, he started sucking the year before the protests, he's a cancer for any team and that should be obvious to all at this point and that's why he's not signed anywhere to play football

I don't think this campaign is going to be a success, unless I really don't understand Nike's market and they really just want to sell products in a handful of American cities AND abroad

This season's NFL will be a tipping point. I expect terrorism at an NFL game, deaths among the pro Trump and anti Trump crowd, or some other huge story. The reset button needs to be hit, and something big has to happen in order for that to happen. There will be a huge event that we will remember for years. Something big and bad will happen, and people will have to reflect on this constant nonsense.

Sometimes when people commit robberies, someone dies. The robber's primary intent wasn't to commit murder but they'll more often than not, be charged with murder.

The funniest part about this is that it isn't really clear what, exactly, Kap believes.

 

[Acebb]

Oh, wait, he believes cops are pigs.

 

[exploited17]

He is an idiot. He's one of these retarded leftists who equate racism with disparity(as long as it involves minorities in a negative way) Here is an interesting video about such stupidity

 

[bmoreforlife]

I love the ad. Great idea Nike!

 

[Enfuego]

What’s really interesting is Kaepernick has remained on the Nike payroll despite not playing football.

 

[Twisted]

I love the ad. Great idea Nike!

Go take a stroll through Park Heights, Dundalk, Edgewood, or Towson tonight would ya!

What is it he believes in again?

[RunMaker]

Nothing gets in the way of the protocols. They know exactly what they are doing.

Prior to 1968, there was no standard emergency number. So how did 911 become one of the most recognizable numbers in the United States? Choosing 911 as the universal emergency number was not an arbitrary selection, but it wasn't a difficult one either. In 1967, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) met with AT&T to establish such an emergency number. They wanted a number that was short and easy to remember. More importantly, they needed a unique number, and since 911 had never been designated for an office code, area code or service code, that was the number they chose.


Did you ever stop to think about why 911 is the emergency number? Did they just pull a random number out of the air and go..... fuck it, let's do "911"?

Do you think the WTC attacks on 9/11 was just a coincidence? Or the coup in Chile on 9/11?


Was this just a coincidence?
