To wit . . .
COUNTRY CLUB PLAZA INSIDERS FEAR BACKLASH AGAINST NIKE STORE AMID OVERWHELMING KANSAS CITY PUSH BACK AGAINST NATIONAL ANTHEM FOOTBALL PROTESTER KAEPERNICK ADVERT!!!
Off the record, on the QT and very hush-hush . . .
Here's the off-record word:
"There have been some ABSOLUTELY CRAZY CALLS over the past 48 hours and frankly I'm worried about the place. I've noticed KCPD outside and nearby so that's sorta comforting. People are pissed from the messages I've seen and I think it's a good idea that we're worried about security."

A great publicity stunt.
ReplyDeleteNike wins!
White people fighting over shoes now. Diversity wins!
DeleteThe only thing that nappy headed piece of shit is good at is stirring up trouble. The ad is as stupid as he is, so lefties will be pissing themselves and wanting to watch it on a big screen.
ReplyDeleteBetter than shitting themselves like you do. Right pop-pops?
DeleteYou can change from geezer to pop-pops, but I still know it's the russian troll. Nice try.
DeleteIts shoes, dildos. Get over yourselves.
ReplyDeleteHavent bought Nike in years. He has so many fallacies and contradictions the above poster is right, all he is manufactured controversy. End of the day he takes his fro to his mansion nowhere near american black populated areas.
ReplyDeleteNobody buys Nike anyepway, they’re child labor practices are something the lefties should be crying, kicking and screaming about but hey, it envolves a butthurt worthless no good ex quarterback with a chip on his shoulder so they’re all in. Makes perfect sense in progressive land.
ReplyDeleteYep. Unlike your terrible post “they’re child labor?” Jesus gramps, learn your possessives. Why are repubtards such dummies?
Delete7:57 you’re an idiot
ReplyDeleteJust DON"T Do it.
ReplyDeleteOverpriced shoes made by little kids for slave wages. No thanks.
ReplyDeleteGeriatric fucktards who don’t wear Nike in the first place getting upset. Bunch of butt-hurt shitflakes melting down. Classic.
ReplyDeleteGrandpa must have went balls deep in you for you to show so much disdain against old people.
DeleteWith sores and no lube! He is wrecked!
DeleteThis dummy traded his cleats for knee pads, how's he going to sell shoes? Does nike make pink or rainbow combat boots for the social justice warrior? If so, do they come with free knee pads?
ReplyDeletePeople and KC are fat, Uneducated and just plain dumb.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^^^ Speak for yourself garbage person.
DeleteTo me, it looks like KC has the RIGHT idea.
What folks need to be doing is something about kcpl aka evergy energy. Terry bassham kcpl ceo allegedly used yearly rate hikes on electric bills in Missouri and Kansas customers to allegedly stock pile bilions in cash to buy his past competition westar energy
ReplyDeleteCheck security exchange records and past articles on the web and discover what's really been going on... appears same story in kcstar 6.9.16 for rate increase for Missouri customers now Terry bassham and great plains energy aka kcpl aka evergy energy in 2016 7.5 rate increase in missouri now wants kansas 4.5 increase for same improvements again...
What about 4 hundred million mortgage bonds owed umb bank and 3 other banks at 7.15 percent interest due in April 2019. Allegedly a billion bucks to return... kcpl milk ain't clean.
folks forget this shoe thing deal with what really counts... folks who signed petition need do research put their past bills together for 12 months and chart this scam.. look at what's been charged for municipalities payments and get their records and see if kcpl doeled out what collective bills total up to based on city and state..
payments to counties and state.. don't be surprised if there's fuzzy math...
do your home work folks go door to door neighbor to neighbor and look at bills do the math put your teams together 60,000 petitioners will turn up some interesting numbers ... this has been going on for too long...
if there has been improvements who did them and what did they get paid... to justify continued rate increases.. no more rate increase cut kcpl bills in half.. do what's right....
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ when you go to door, wear your Nikes.
DeleteB.S. on your rant buddy. Just pay your bills and STFU!
Stick to the post topic. Nobody has time for this Alex Jones.
DeleteDon't really care this one way or another but I did notice that even some of the Conservatives said that burning your nikes is stupid. If you don't want them, donate them.
ReplyDelete#NeverNike
ReplyDeleteThey should shut the store down on the plaza, it's not a good idea for the area anyway, get that crap out of our city. If they aren't going to stand up for our flag, then I don't see any reason to stand up for them.
nobody asked you to stand for them. Why would they? You don’t matter in the least.
DeleteThey are absolutely asking for support and money for their shit shoes. Buy them? NEVER.
DeleteNike can go broke and get out of KC. They should not get our help.
Just another phony controversy to sell more junk to the American public. Don't fall for it. Keep the shoes you have now on your feat and don't pay so much attention to these fake patriots on many sides. Just a big scam to keep the money machine rolling.
ReplyDeleteThe QB is definitely overrated. The highlight of his career is a commercial. Sad.
ReplyDeleteNike = Overrated slave labor junk.
ReplyDeleteNikes have been shit shoes for years. Very cheaply made. Nothing but another fad that can die like the others. Maybe they can sell them in Russia.
ReplyDeleteCoprophilia boy has been get screwed by grandpa since childhood................ and he likes it!
ReplyDeleteSo, perhaps some savvies could capitalize on this shoe wars by producing patriot themed athletic gear. The time is right for red, white, and blue shoes with classy designs and labeled "America" brand---made in the USA, of course!
ReplyDeleteC'mon KC, get the winning shark tank gigs submitted to Nike rivals. Like Addidas has their 3 stripes trademark, "America" shoes could have the 3 US flag colors, say, in the laces and/or on the tongues on a solid grey or all black pair, so they'll look adult, not kiddie. Ideas are infinite for MAGA gear. But,no flag motif, because shoes are at ground level.
Are you people so stupid that you don't understand that these poor clerks are not the company?
ReplyDeleteHave the police stopped shooting unarmed black men in "self-defense"? A black man in Pittsburgh was shot in the back. A black man in Philadelphia was shot in the back. So, that's a NO, right?
Have the brown children all been released from their cages? Is our government not waging war against brown people?
Is the right to protest not one of our most cherished freedoms?
Me, I'm just a poor peasant. I only own one pair of shoes & they're not a name brand, just a simple walking shoe.
If you don't want your Nike shoes anymore, then give them to the poor. Burning them does not hurt Nike in any way.
Welcome back Outhouser,weve missed you as much as having the clap
DeleteIf I knew something I donated was truly going to someone in need I’d be glad to. But the thought of it going to a fraudulent sucker of welfare that terrorizes barnyard animals when not trolling a blog about a city that has nothing to do with him, nope, I’d rather burn it.
DeleteWelcome back Byron, you slimy welfare leech! Are you sure you're stable enough to be creeping on this blog again? We all know what happened last time...
Delete^^^^^^^^Shut up moron!
ReplyDeleteI wear generic flip flops in the dead of winter and my feet smell like ass.
ReplyDeleteMy politics are dingus and nobody likes me.
I am American and love my country.
God Bless America!
^^^^He never left he just posts anonymously now thinking we are so dumb to not know it's him. Mean while he is still scamming and stealing aid he isn't entitled to.
ReplyDeleteYep, racist Funky says crap to be contrarian and for attention-getting. He said he could believe only an ALL BLACK jury's verdict in a white woman's lawsuit for employment discrimination.
ReplyDeleteBlieRON can't accurately assess those jurors' mindsets based on race. They could all be racist like him, or they may be ethical in deciding on that case.
Nike sneaker boycott? Not here.
ReplyDeleteThe J Edgar Hoover type geezers here prefer the Ivanka Trump line of pumps and flats.
The last laugh is on them. That MAGA gear is also made in China.
So is your Adidas jumpsuit, you Russian loser.
DeleteNike's contract with the NFL runs through 2028
ReplyDelete5:15 “Russian jumpsuit” God you’re an idiot
ReplyDeleteSmart enough to spot a Russian troll. You're attacking me now, you know I'm on to you, you Russian pos.
Delete
ReplyDeleteAll this is going to do is push race relations further back which might not be a bad thing these people have proven they can't get along in a civilized world. Also will put a whole new Ferguson effect in place for black people, because this is about cop hatred and nothing else.
Hey geezer hater Barney Frank hit the nail on the head, Grandpa must have really poked ya good, I feel bad for ya.
I already forgot, what other company from 2 month ago am I supposed to be boycotting.
ReplyDelete"Is the right to protest not one of our most cherished freedoms?" There is no right to protest while at work. The first amendment protects against government retribution, not employer sanction.
ReplyDeleteBTW, the cops who did the shooting in Pittsburgh and Philly have been charged with crimes. They will be found guilty or not guilty based on evidence at trial, not on one sided media accounts. So, the system is working, isn't it? So why are you still bitching?
