You decide . . .

  1. OF COURSE Kansas City hates Nike.

    Hard to see why anyone would buy their shoes. Shey never resolved their labor issues and most of their gear is manufactured at sweat shops.

  3. I hate it being on the Plaza where our once beloved Hall’s was. It lowered the ambience factor exponentially.

    1. ^^^^^^^^^^ Excellent point. Seems like a real downgrade! This is what's wrong with KC, we like to think of ourselves as upscale but never really think about the branding big picture.

  4. Nike and Kap are about one thing and one thing only, that is the hatred of police officers. That is how it started, and now they have tried to change the meaning of their protest. Kneeling on the football field is about the same thing, the hatred of police officers.

    Nike supports the slaughter of cops!

    1. ^^^^^^^^^^ Ouch.

      Nike supports profits. That's all they really care about. I'm glad to join the boycott. But sad to see that no other company has stepped up to support police.

  5. Well we've heard from the diaper patrol with their worthless takes. None of you geezers by Nike and it's products. It's not for you. You are not wanted as a customer. Please add it to your list of boycotts like Target, Keurig, Starbucks, etcc.

    1. Dear boy, if you’re going to play grown up and want to be given any level of credibility, please master English 101 before your next attack of keyboard diarrhea.

  7. Ha! Geezers boycotting Nike? Hilarious! Hey pop-pops, Nike doesn’t want your broke-ass wearing their gear. Stick to Me Balance and Pro-Wings with the Velcro laces. You guys are too funny!

    1. How do you boycott something you haven’t purchased since high school gym class?

    2. ^^^^^^^^^^^ Sick burn on some of the geezers today! Makes a good point. Gramps, you just don't buy a lot of athletic shoes!

    3. The geezer guy strikes again! I'm on to you, you Putin lackey.

    4. To the poster who doesn’t like “geezers,” I respect your right to free speech and you argue with everyone on here you don’t agree with but I’ve asked you a couple of times and never get a reply....do you hate the older people in your own life (grandparents, etc) or just strangers?

      Delete
    5. ^^^^ Silly question. Nobody likes geezers.

  8. I heard New Balance signed Donald Trump to be their new spokesman in response. Their new slogan will be Grab em’ by the pussy”.

  9. If you have read Phil Knight's (founder of Nike) book "Shoe Dog", he talks about wanting to pay the workers in foreign countries more and was approached by politicians in those countries who told him you cannot pay your workers more than doctors and other professionals make, it makes us look bad.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I don't like them, I won't buy their shoes. But I'm NOT going to burn my property like some kind of crybaby. That's stupid, wasteful and not very "conservative" at all.

    ReplyDelete
  11. You can only count on the president making this one worse. Too bad he never wears exercise shoes. I guess we're all going to use golf shoes from now on?

  14. ^^^^^^^^^ Gross.

  15. A lot of this is why our society is falling apart, if you can't even buy a pair of shoes without getting into a political debate then that paralyzes a big section of our economy. I'm normally not somebody who argues that we have bigger issues to deal with but a fight over sneakers seems very silly for adults.

  16. Sick burn? 4 billion in lost market cap in ONE DAY is a way sicker burn. :)

    You were saying something about broke as fuck? I know you don't understand books and economics and things.

  17. The Rant was better when 5 was just sharing off the cuff, cray-cray calls. Now everyone writes their thoughts down and reads them.

  19. 8:00 Do you have some room for more coprophilia boys in your trailer? That would be a tremendous help to rid kc of things like you, how bout it, open your trailer for more dumbass’s like you? C’mon, punk give up some of your safe space

    ReplyDelete
  20. Corporophilia boy: Have you ever looked at geezers' shoes? When is the last time you saw a geezer in anything but athletic shoes? Feet wear out, and those of us who don't have to work any more are not going to wear dress shoes.

    1. Hey geezer, nice try. You can’t afford Nike. I’m quite sure Nike really doesn’t want its gear being associated with old racists anyway. Stick to the Velcro gramps.

      Delete
    2. Gramps and geezer in the same post? You're trying to hard, my Russian friend.

  21. Ignore coprophilia boy, it’s lonely in his shitty trailer and he desperately wants some attention, a lot like a two year old who throws temper tantrums, sounds like gopherkc if you ask me

  22. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^All the trailer trash got up early today to scream and act like the losers they are.

    Now since you are all up and awake go find jobs you assholes.

    Maybe when I get up later today after getting some sleep after working all night at the ER a better class of people will be on here commenting.

  23. ^^^^^They're all home using Rustoleum on their leaky trailers today.

  24. You all will be buying Nike shoes in 6 months and think nothing of it.

  25. I already quit Nike and the NFL. Fuck 'em. While we are at it, what about France? We have saved their soccer-loving asses twice in the last century.and they never support us on anything. They hate us and disrespect us. I am going to BOYCOTT FRENCH FRIES. Thank you, bitches.

  26. Nobody but soy boys buy Nike, they support child labor because they’re idiots

    1. Nobody but pants-shitting geezers use the term “soy-boys”. Everybody else is smarter than that, and have better things to do.

    2. Not all of us are paid by the Russian government to post geezer stuff all day.

    1. No. I’m not really interested in what’s going on because it’s no big deal. The only people who think it is are shit-flakes like you who melt down over every perceived slight. The rest of us have more important things to focus on.

  32. "Nike's customer base is strictly urban". Did it!

  33. 50+ comments, all posted by 3 or 4 people. 7:06, 7:07. 7:08 replying to himself. Try spacing them out. Sad.

    300 pound angry guy posting in his pajamas doesn't scream cross trainer buyer.

  34. ^^^ Excellent take! Maybe he's a cross dresser, but definitely not buying trainers!
