Well I won’t be buying anymore Nike UGA gear. Great while it lasted.

[Dirty Hairy Dawg]

Lot old people play golf and spend a lot of money a lot young people get there money from old people . I betting Nike will feel some pain

From a business perspective, that is what doesn't make sense to me. Nike already owns the demo that would support Kaepernick. Heck, there is a huge aftermarket for lines aimed at that demo.

The other side of the coin is Nike golf and team gear lines. I'm not in to boycotting but Nike's move certainly doesn't inspire me to shop for their golf gear or buy a new swoosh UGA polo. I would imagine Nike has a survey that supports the move but it seems to me the move appeals to an already loyal base and pisses off folks with no real brand loyalty an that could decrease their market share.

Any one else notice how the younger guys on here believe their education is better, they are smarter, older folks are uneducated not smart enough to understand the oppression kapernitwit has suffered etc etc. Typical dim, they think they have to tell us all how to live our lives.

If I live long enough to see them destroy the country and our way of life as they desire to do. I am going to piss in their begging cup when I walk by.

There has never been a more useless arrogant bunch of idiots than todays college graduates with their socialist professors filling their heads full of mush with nothing.

When the reality is they're uneducated. There is no intellectual curiosity in college today. They hate to hear opinions that don't fit their world view, so they riot and protest or retreat to a safe space.

Agreed. I would probably lend Kap's complaint a little more credence if he were a 70 year old black man from Mississippi. But since he was an adopted 20 something spoiled millineal, I don't think I will. He doesn't know oppression and neither do most Americans black, white, yellow or green. I'm not naive enough to believe racism doesn't exist, but nor am I naive enough to believe it exists in bulk and truly affects the masses day to day life. I believe choices affect outcomes far more than race.

Racism exists on the fringes and always will....in all races.....Most overt racism today is in the Black community and on the left. Its not even debatable .

These silly protest are nothing but a tool to get more concessions and passes. Police do not kill black at any rate that would be considered over the top (any killing is bad) but the majority of these shootings are justified and those that aren't are being tried and convicted.

The facts are that Police have more interactions with Blacks because they simply commit most of the crime. With that fact, that they kill so few blacks is really the big story here.

 

[somchair1]

Only people offended by Nike and freaking out about it are old people, which accounts for a small portion of Nike's revenue. Wont hurt Nike all that much, just like every good NFL team will still have a packed stadium, and NFL will still be the highest rated programming on TV.

3.75 billion is a small portion?

Cmon Benchwarmer, that is such an over exaggeration, there are useless arrogant bunch of idiots on both sides.

And as far as telling people how to live their lives, Pubs want to tell folks who they can and can't marry, how to spend their Sundays, I won't even get into one more cause you will call me a babykiller, etc.

Lighten up.

You are what you support. Conservatives do not try to tell people what to do in their bedroom, just keep it in your bedroom. I don't go around pushing hetro sex on people. But your side sure as heck puts what should be a private matter front and center with your protest and lawsuits and parades and have even put it in schools. Good grief food, they even have transgenders reading to elementary students. You are clueless. Look at the way your side behaves about everything. Riot, protest, act like spoiled rotten brats, cheat, lie, collude. You name it, a modern dim has cornered the market on hate, ignorance, lying and hypocrisy.

Since you claim to have all the brains here. why don't you explain how a person decides that its just a-ok hunky dory to abort a baby? What does it take to convince yourself that an unborn baby is any less human than one that is 30 seconds out of the birth canal? y'all are some twisted evil sick serial killer types. Millions and millions of babies killed and still counting. If you can explain it with some fact, not just an emotional well I just feel that way crap I will listen. A baby is a baby is a baby. You got any proof that a human that has bread with another human has had a rabbit, or liger or some other animal?

Something I do believe is in choice to believe in God or not. He gave us free will when it comes to that so this is not something I will pound you on. Not here to convert you if you are atheist, but are you atheist? Might help me understand because no one that REALLY believes in the creator that made the world and all that is in it can come to the conclusion that an unborn baby is a worthless non human form to be thrown out with yesterdays garbage if "I" don't want it. Really that's all you have to say is, I'm atheist. No more splainin needed. But if you believe in the Creator, then boy, do you ever have some splanin to do.

PS. As long as you support killing babies you are a baby killer. So go hide in your safe space and put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I think Nike stopped making golf equipment. They are predominantly ghetto-centric in their production model. I mean, look who is jumping up to support them on here.
Maybe the pigs on the View will start wearing Nike jump suits ... or Whoopie Goldblub in a Nike tee and running shorts ...MacGATA would get into that.

 

[Maddog_83]

Bunch of immature people in this thread. What happened to respecting someones opinion without hate? If you don't like it, move on.

 

[1966septemberdawg]

I have a constitutional right to be a racist...... but if I express myself publically, I will lose my job and reputation. Not me, just using an illustration.

I have the right to be a racist, but there are consequences for being a racist in today's society.

The race card is old. Funny how we throw out constitutional rights only to back our own agenda. And I have the constitutional right to be a racist.

I am for constitutional rights. The problem is we no longer teach our children about how those rights became to be. While I respect your service, our rights were brought to us be men and woman who gave their lives to carve out this country. The average person who uses the anthem and flag to protest race inequality is pretty stupid. They do not understand the basic context of this country and the laws that even allow to protest.

Rights in a democratic republic are earned through basic human behavior and respect, not by protest, violence and intimidation. But we are acting like a third world country. The laws of our country are changed through the greatest political system the world has ever known. When we protest everything and intimidate to get laws changed, it bastardizes the entire legal system of our country. It also creates an unsafe environment for all citizens and our law enforcement community, which has gotten worst with all the violence.

If you want change, look to change it politically and through new concepts in laws and regulations. That is how our country was formed and how our founding Fathers put it together.

The problem with the protestors and such is that they are used, fueled and funded by those who don't care to fix the problem, only fuel discontent. We protest everything now. Anyone who expresses an opinion that doesn't agree with the new liberal view is shouted down. We protest, counter protest, then protest how the media covered the protest. No one can say what they believe anymore, it has to fit the narrative.

Not standing for the country is disrespectful. Again, we don't even understand why we can live in a free country and provide for our families. Living in the richest country in the world. And no, our country wasn't built on the back of Colin Kapernick. It gave him a great opportunity. If he wants to change things, do it right. Our system is set up to do that.

Screaming from the mountain top isn't the answer, it just creates hate.

Instead of protesting the behavior of others, why not look at how we behave? What can we do to make it a better place to live, work and survive........ or is the government just suppose to create quotas?

As a pro ballplayer, go to the police departments and set up discussions and work through the problems..... or protest and scream. He chose to protest and scream, creating hate and revolution where it wasn't needed.

We can go on and on but the economic and opportunity divide in this country has been earned. Behavior fitting a citizen of our country is required. If you don't live within that requirement, asking the government to provide for you is wrong. And wondering why bad things happen to you is, well, naive.

This whole issue has helped put our law enforcement in harms way. It has given many the excuse to kill innocent lives. Protests such as this just prove to entrap us further. And create hate.

Respect cannot be demanded. It must be earned.

Great post as usual. Have a great week.

Sounds to me like most folks are saying Nike can hire whomever they want. You really do not HAVE to respect an opinion with which you disagree. So, many don’t like it, and they choose to move on beyond Nike. What is so difficult to understand about many Americans choosing to discontinue support for a shoe company which chooses a frontman who shits on America’s most meaningful symbols? And you talk about respect? And, although this might also be difficult for you, many people do not agree with that dumbass’s premise that blacks are wrongly and unfairly targeted by police. It is fast coming to the point at which neither white nor black police will go in to some black areas. If that further develops, some perceptions might change.

So here we go. You accuse someone of being a raciest because they do not agree with disrespecting the flag and this country... These are words of a person that cannot defend a position and can only call names because you have nothing of substance to say. So in your mind Jim Brown is raciest?

For your info, I also will not be buying levis because of their support for the gun control lobby. What does that make me?

Everyone here says that kapernitwit has the right to protest, but for those of us that have lost family and friends in war fighting for my freedom, his freedom and even a simpleton like you, disrespecting the flag is not acceptable. I don't give a flying freak what color he is. Has ZERO to do with color. People like you disgrace those that actually have suffered from acts of racism.

Further, if you America haters would take time to look at the actual history of this country, you would see that we have come a long way and there is opportunity for idiots like kappernick to make millions, on the football field or in a board room. Long story short you and those that throw the race card out every time someone disagrees with a black person are just empty bags of wind, and you are far more raciest than those you spew your claims at. Grow up and find a different grievance.

Good grief. Are you in favor of a 40 year old marrying a 16 year old? And let me beat you to the punch. Who are you to tell a 16 year old they aren't old enough to make those decisions yet permit an 18 year old to do so? How about brothers and sisters marrying? How about medical licenses?

It's obvious that you don't understand the distinction between God-given constitutionally guaranteed rights and public policy. It isn't telling people how to live their lives by regulating who receives government privileges and benefits when they apply for a State marriage license.

This ignorance regarding rights vis a vis privileges is the what makes people leftists. They believe that since they care that they have the authority to force their policies upon others with no regard for due process. The road to hell is usually paved with good intentions.

You seem to be a caring person and a gentleman, but a society has to define its legal boundaries and educate its citizenry on why those boundaries exist and are justified. The American educational system has failed at that. In fact, IMO it is even now trying to subvert that.

Why are we scared of socialists in Russia subverting our democracy when we have so many socialists right here at home?

BPKY, I was not talking about minors having the right to marry, I was referencing two law abiding adults being denied a marriage license due to them wanting to marry someone of the same sex. Gay Americans deserve the same rights and privileges as straight citizens, and the far right continues its efforts to reduce their rights. After the Supreme Court decision, the concept of religious liberty was introduced. I am old enough to remember days when blacks were denied service in this country due to their race, and even the notion that one can deny service to someone in the name of religion is unfathomable.

On a separate note, thank you for the civil discussion, and calling me a gentleman. Trust me, I have been called other things by folks on this board (sometimes maybe even warranted), so I appreciate your remarks.

I look forward to our continue debates.

Gay people had the right to marry. Marriage is defined as being a man and woman. Defining deviancy down doesn't change the fact that its deviancy. Gays can have a civil union. But marriage is marriage. You can call your cat a dog but its still a dog.
