Tom Brady ‘likes’ Colin Kaepernick Nike deal

[PatsFanatic]

What you talking about Willis?

My point is they still have allowances and have to ask for things from Mom and Dad. Sure, I understand that a lot of kids get what they ask for, but at the end of the day the Mom and Dad have the wallet and you've (Nike) just turned some of them off. Like others have mentioned, you'll need to make up for those folks.

I have 8 and 11 yr old girls. Granted they aren't sports fans other than playing soccer on the weekend and a day game at Fenway. They like Nike products very much, but they also like UA, they're back to school sneakers are UA. You want to know why they like UA? Because they see other kids at school wearing UA. When we took them school shopping weeks ago I pulled into the outlets with a UA and Nike store right next to each other and they chose the UA store. Got everything we needed so there was no need to visit the Nike store. (I know my POV on this is limited since I have 2 daughters and no teenage sons).

But my point is there isn't much room for error in this competitive market. I have always wore Nike's playing hoops, probably will continue to do so because they work for me, but it wouldn't be too hard to find a replacement.

I do agree with a comment you made further down the thread in that most older folks at the gym are wearing cheaper clothing than Nike. I see it on the basketball court. Most take their sneakers seriously, but other than that I don't see much for Nike apparel, other than the black guys who seem to care a lot about having a swoosh on their gear.

I just think when kids are watching football on Sundays (if they still do), they see Tom Brady and Cam Newton throwing TD passes, but they don't see Colin Kaepernick.

Non football player who a lot of people dislike....kinda strange

Do you understand what target audience means?

They do not care who has the money as long as someone buys it and a lot of it. They are targeting 15-22 kids who play sports mostly. Active kids. So those parents obviously will buy it for their kids who play sports.

You're hilarious.

You're hilarious.

But what do numbers mean haha.

Eh, that may be your neck of the woods. My new neck of the woods and my old one were dominated by Nike. The majority of kids at school wear NIKE and most of my friends that either had teenagers (now going to college), or currently have young kids choose NIKE. And despite the political preferences of the parents (and some are major Trump supporters), I don't know a single one that has said they wouldn't buy what the kids want (there may be a lot of hoopla on this website, but I suspect most don't really care all that much about this nonsense). The NIKE outlet where I used to live had lines 30 minutes long on the weekend, and as stated, I was at the outlet near our place the other day and notice no significant drop off. Ultimately, I think this whole thing is much ado about nothing. I don't think it's about watching Kaepernick, but as I mentioned earlier, NIKE has plenty of athletes under contract that many of these kid admire. It's really more about whether the parents will go along with a protest. I believe most won't and the ones that do will be negligible. And at the gym I work at, there is zero talk on the matter regardless of what people are wearing.

You're hilarious.

Brutal. hno:

Whichever idiot made this decision should be fired on the spot.

I'll never buy Nike again.

 

[Mobdeeper7239]

But wait, I thought 15-22 year olds are in Nike’s target audience? How did Nike’s favorability rating amongst 18-21 year olds drop from 81 to 51 overnight?

How is that humanly possible?

https://morningconsult.com/form/nike-kaepernick-report/

Lmfao. Look at this fucking guy. Lollllllllll.

What does this have to do with target audience? Lmfao


absolutely amazing the little bit of what I said has offended you and upset you so much.


81 to 51 rating points? Ok so what does that have to do with Target Audience again? What does that have to do with target audience???


does Nike now change their target audience? Lmfaooooo. What are you trying to prove retard?

Lmfaooooo this guy thinks he is right now bahahahhahaha cuz he has one person come in and support him he thinks the target audience are parents and is still butt hurt about it.


LMFAO


please find something to do with your life. This was yesterday’s discussion and I see how much it bothered you

lmfao. Until Christmas. Who gives a fuck about overnight. Business doesn’t die overnight

 

[Mobdeeper7239]

You're hilarious.

I just don’t know how the fuck you clowns can think this data means you were right about anything????


What are you even trying to prove about this? That adults buy Nike? Lmfao. Serious, what are you doing with Enflameo here?


Is this just some more mumbo jumbo shit? It looks like republicans(you guys) are the most upset by this according to the data.

Lmfao that makes sense. The republicans are most upset at Nike what a surprise.


So tel me again what this has to do with target audience? And why dumbass Enflameo brought this up?

because the 18-22 rating didn’t drop nearly as bad as the republicans rating so what are you trying to say?

 

[Mobdeeper7239]

Enflameo is always just posting data graphs like it’s all fact lmfaooooo. No one is going to contest it because it is a graph. FUCK YOuR DATA. I don’t give a flying fuck about what data you read and think is real to be honest with you. Even if this is 100% legit it doesn’t back up your point one bit. And doesn’t come close to fucking with my point.


He tried to argue that Adults are target audience for everything lmfao. Happy meals are targeted to parents because they have to buy it for kids. Same thing here, kids don’t have money to buy Nike so Nike target audience is for parents? According to him that’s how companies do things lol. Then he presents some graph acting like he is right lmfaooo. What school did you go to Enflameo?

[FONT=&quot]I returned a pair of Nike shoes yesterday for a refund, and the clerk asked me what was wrong with them. I told her they hurt my feet when I stood up for the national anthem.[/FONT]

Yeah, because we should never care about factual relevant data. That would be totally absurd.

Your inability to understand is pretty funny.

You have a high school education and you're trying to respond to people much smarter than you and it isn't going so well.

He told me he didn’t graduate High School.

LOL

Remember when he was all "I went to a top rated high school!!!"

 

[Mobdeeper7239]

*Yawwwwwnnnn*


still waiting for some logic from you two.....


the only only two idiots stupid enough to try to make something up and argue it.



Im still waiting....

lets hear it.

Mob pisses stupidity.

 

[PatsFan1283]

You're hilarious.

Why don't you think their valuation reflects this newfound negative sentiment?

If it correlated at all, it would be pretty bad.

 

[PatsFan1283]

Also fwiw I saw the ad. It was completely apolitical but you see what Nike's goal was. Don't take any kind of position, just use Kaep in the ad to generate controversy for a news cycle then when the ad airs it's your standard sports marketing aspiration stuff.

 

[SheriffJoe]

Most people don't even know about this yet. Will the ads be airing during NFL games?

The backlash will be intense, especially once Trump gets involved and throws fuel on the fire.
