Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Ex-CIA Dir. Brennan (Trump hater) and the Pres. of Iran of all people join in support of Nike's decision. Knight, Kapernick, Brennan and the Pres. of Iran. How could you not be a Nike supporter I sure am glad Auburn don't use them. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2018/09/04/colin-kaepernick-earns-support-from-strange-bedfellows-over-nike-ad.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a Trump criticizer mind you. Not someone who simply expresses different views from Trump, or expresses problems or concerns with his behavior or decision making. "Hater." Also, given how the various white nationalists and Neo-Nazis have become vocal supporters of Trump, do you really want to play the "guilt by association" game?

A part of it was Tiger but their clubs were just plain bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually very little in the Nikes other than walk or ride a bike because never cared for them. I did yard work up at the family beach house for years in the NB. Kept them in an out building with the lawn mower. Wife would not allow me to duct tape them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of my political opinion, the use of Kapernick as their guy won’t prevent me from buying the product if I like it. I use Brooks for running shoes anyway. I use Under Armour SpeedForm for running. Switched from Brooks. Both excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine that some market study or focus group delivered some information that Kaper would attract new customers to the Nike brand or even retain those who already buy Nike's over priced goods. JMO but some higher level exec made this decision for personal /social reasons without much consideration for whether it was good for the company's stockholders or employees. Likely it won't matter much in the way of sales....and Kaper will just get a nice check from Nike because someone wanted to give him the money. 35 Billion revenue. They can afford the game.

And they don’t care about this stuff nearly as much as Paw Paw does. But you should know their golf line sucks. IIWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why when you look at their portfolio of athletes they promote for endorsements, there ain’t a whole lot of 50 year old buttoned down white guys. It’s marketed to athletes and outside of baseball among the three major sports, it’s predominantly black guys. If their apparent target market wasn’t spending dollars on the gear, they wouldn’t be the target market. It would be zero 50 year old white guys, period.
