Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Former NFL player and Green Beret Nate Boyer chimes back in. He's the one that initially asked Kap to kneel instead of sit. People should really read his thoughts and reasoning. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/colin-kaepernick-national-anthem-america-how-military-service-influenced-my-ncna906956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanTiger 20,483 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Mostly good ratings news from the Week 1 NFL overnights: Fox regional games up 5% from last season. Fox national game up 1% from last season. CBS single header up 23% from last season. NBC Sunday Night Football down 9% from last season. (this compared to last year's Giants vs Cowboys, which is pretty hard to beat pairing probably one of the top 2 or 3 most popular teams with the largest TV market in the country) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sales everywhere else up 35%. From the month before. If you follow the Labor Day numbers, which is going to naturally have an increase, it is only 17% from the previous year. Quote Data tracking firm Edison Trends last week said that its work had shown that online sales of Nike product was up 31 percent over Labor Day weekend compared to the average sale days a month before. Labor Day sales were only up 17 percent versus the average in 2017. http://www.espn.com/espnw/sports/article/24656192/poll-shows-nike-kaepernick-ad-hit-target-alienated-others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, why would they be to Nike? Older and middle aged white men may buy one new pair of sneakers per year. Younger kids who care about fashion buy new kicks every few months. Who would you market to if you ran the business? It's a freaking no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct they are not important to Nike. Nike used this for the 18-29 markets which will dive in fully on green marketing. They already had image issues there versus UnderArmour and Addidas. Quote "Gen Z [13 to 22 years old] and millennials [22 to 34 years old] value companies that are socially active," Gerzema said. "The younger population approve of Nike's choice to use Colin Kaepernick. http://www.espn.com/espnw/sports/article/24656192/poll-shows-nike-kaepernick-ad-hit-target-alienated-others I personally am not watching the NFL this year due to the lack of diversity, especially at positions like corner-back. I would like to see an increase in Hispanic and Asian/Pacific Island players in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically saying that all the old MAGA hat wearing white dudes who buy their $39 Nike's at discounters boycotting has been surpassed by the actual Nike target market (who will drop $100-200 on a pair of sneakers) flocking to the brand.
