Amid Kaepernick scandal, local charity collecting Nike gear for veterans
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - As some continue to express outrage over Nike's new ad campaign with quarterback Colin Kaepernick, a Marine from Kansas City hopes to use the controversy to help veterans in need. Joe Williams fought overseas in Iraq and now has plans to operate the After Action Network in the Crossroads, which will offer resources and programs for veterans.
That's a nice gesture but I don't think Vets will take them.
ReplyDelete^^You would be wrong. Vets support your right to protest.

NIKE: JUST DON'T DON IT!!!
Great, I'm sure we'll have to have to hear from the Russian geezer guy on this too.
ReplyDeleteJust vote with your dollars. It's that simple. If you don't agree with Nike, don't buy Nike products. If you support Nike, and everything they represent, like abusive child labor, low wages, and ignorant, racist advertising representatives, buy their products.
ReplyDeleteJust grow up. How about that? How about not getting butt-hurt over an ad campaign. Jesus, repubturds always complain about "liberal snowflakes" but they are the biggest bunch of cry babies in the country.
ReplyDeleteWas the NFL consulted before this boneheaded marketing mistake was made ?
ReplyDelete^^No and why would they? The NFL wants Nike cash. They are desperate for it.
ReplyDeleteLooking at a six month trend they might have been overvalued anyway...but investors can't like the clear drop in stock price. It's a pretty big gamble to segment your market on political issues, especially when the NFL is dying due to a number of factors including the protests.
ReplyDeleteNike was my favorite brand my whole life and now I will no longer buy any of their products for myself or any of my children. Good job by Nike for appealling to people who rob and steal from stores instead of middleclass americans who actually used to buy their goods.
ReplyDelete^^I'm sure Nike is crushed to hear you're no longer a customer. You're not their target demographic anyway. Once you children are able to buy their own gear, they will buy Nike again. It's too big and too popular. Sorry to say, but at the end of the day, your business won't be missed.
ReplyDelete^^ Exactly, and as you have seen on the news, I am the only person boycotting Nike. How about tbe police refuse to help anyone wearing Nike? That sounds good to me.
Delete^^^What you fail to to grasp because you’re stupid and old is the losers who are protesting don’t wear Nike gear in the first place. The very small minority who do, buy discontinued or outlet mall stuff. Their preferred customer is 18-35 who buy high end merchandise. Not you Nana, no way.
Delete@11:39-Nike stock price was $81.25 on 8/31/18. It dropped to $79.39 on 9/4/18 after announcing Kapernick as the spokesman. It closed up to $79.648 on 9/5/18 and is currently trading at $80.39 right now. How do we explain that? What's the narrative now? That drop in stock price was insignificant. Remember shareholders are always in it for the long haul. Next week, that drop will be a blip on the radar. Apparently the backlash was overrated as the stock is approaching pre-announcement levels.
ReplyDeleteSo, I would not like to be explaining to investors (of all political stripes) how a polarizing campaign only cost them 4 billion in market cap and how the obvious damage may be under control, possibly.
DeleteMy advice: don't ever, ever trade stocks. "Yessir, don't worry about that loss of value. It's insignificant, and we just might be starting to creep back to where we were before we fucked up with your money."
Except, and this is key here, try to follow along, they didn’t really lose 4billion dollars. I know you’re dumb, but it’s not real money, and with the rise in price, it’s no longer 4 billion dollars dummy. Another thing the company never explains to investors why a stock dropped one day and then rose the next. This isn’t how business works. Results are judged over quarters and not weeks because stocks go up and down daily. And as mentioned previously retard, by the time the next quarterly numbers come out, this will long be forgotten. Can you comprehend that dolt?
DeleteTriggered! Yes, by all means try this. You're hilarious.
Delete"You guys, It's not real money. I know you watch your investments every day and are wary of even small dips that could forecast major trends. I know that trading is very fast paced and moment-sensitive and things somehow turn for better or worse in a big way. But we are just not going to even communicate with you about how we fucked up with your money, and not even due to broader market factors but deliberate action on our part. Market capitalization isn't even a real thing, even though it's a standard measure of company valuation used to drive investment strategy. Cmon guys!"
I would say stop, because you so obviously have no idea what you're talking about, but please keep up the comedy? Thanks.
Niggers won’t buy Nike but they will steal it.
ReplyDeleteVery true, yet Nike turns around and makes one the “star” of an ad campaign. It’s a weird cycle. I guess some N’s have to endorse them for other N’s to want to steal and kill for them. They are one bizarre species.

12:46, of course it was a loss to investors, it just was not a realized loss. Stock prices do go up and down slightly from day to day, but when they tank overnight like Nike's stock did, it's the result of very bad news and loss of investor confidence. I expect some backlash from Nike management's poor decision.
ReplyDelete^^^Well you’re a moron because Nike’s management is fully on board with this.
DeleteNike’s stock was up again today to $80.40. So much for the tank. What happened? We have a narrative here? Do you mean it may be a non issue after all?
Delete80 is not 82. Math is so hard, amirite?
DeleteStock was never at 82 before it dropped moron. Math is so hard, amirite?
DeleteUnemployment is so low even Craperdick got a job
ReplyDeleteMaybe Nike will die from Colin Cancer
