Colin Kapernick is the face of Nike's Just do it campaign. Old white men burn shoes. Too funny

And Nike knows exactly what they are doing. Blatantly using the current political atmosphere to divide and target a particular consumer.

Plus they'll be able to employ more slave labor to boost their revenue.
 
And Kapernick did not give career. All the NFL coaches needed was a few years of tape. Just like Vick and RGIII. Running QBs simply have a limited window in the NFL.

the Nike shoes that are being burned have already been paid for. they lose nothing. Nike makes some of the best sneakers around in terms of performance and functionality. the only losers in this are the right wingers' feet which will settle for a lower-grade sneaker in the name of politics.

I don't like Nike's manufacturing processes and some of their 'stylish' lines are way overpriced.... but their cross country sneakers are the best every day shoe I have ever owned... give up that comfort while commuting to work, run errands, and live every day normal life in the name of politics ? Fuck that.... that's stupid....

Asics are way better. Nikes fall apart. I did cross country( running shoe gel) and wrestling(split sole) in high school. No one wore Nike. They're expensive cheap trash.

Yo the guy was removed cause he wasn't performing and caused problems within the team/ NFL. If you think some misguided opinion is more important than doing your job and being a leader, you are foolish.

Its not about taking a knee. Its about echoing spineless drivel this "QB" expelled, abusing his position to spread hate.

If Mr. big nosed football jerk really cared about "racism" Why isn't he speaking out against how NIKE has been taking advantage of poor asian kids for decades? How nike has polluted China for cheap profits? How many children have died in nike factories huh? What about the communist police force that suppresses free speech and thought in china huh? Naw, US cops are evil racists. Cops hate minorities, is his knee jerk answer to the world. Original.

If Mr. K really had scruples, he wouldn't accept that payoff. He would know better.

I doubt he cares about poor asian kids.

Good luck bro.

None of them relied on running the ball. And they could actually throw with accuracy, There is a big difference between a mobile QB and a RB taking the snap,
 
Love this issue for the hilarity of it. That sports has become so embroiled in politics lately (as everything is these days, it's becoming the modern version of religion I've been saying) to me somewhat portrays how politics have become sports in America. My team vs yours, and no matter what I support my team! Doesn't matter who the players are, what the issues are or even the scandals, if they are on my team I support them and boo the opposition.

As with Kapernick, I'm no autobiographer of his, but what has he sacrificed?

He has had a pretty good life from my understanding. He politicized his place of work in a manner that if any of us with jobs did, we'd be fired and rightfully so according to most laws I believe. This doesn't matter if you agree with his politics or not. I know that's a hard concept in 2018.

In terms of sacrifice in his career as a multi millionaire pig skin holder and tosser, where? He was an ok to decent QB from all accounts, certainly not a rare talent and thus not hard to replace. He turned down a huge contract renewal with the 49ers from my understanding, looking for a vetter deal or team and neither popped up. Turning down a contract looking for a better one yet not getting it is not a sacrifice, it's just foolish decision making.

Why no better deal? He doesn't have the talent to justify his divisive politicizing of the game Americans love in part because they could get away from said politics. That simple.

As for the Nike deal it makes sense. Adidas has been promoting cultural icons such as Pharrel in their latest a adverts with all star athletes. Hate him or love him, think he is good or not, Colin Kaepernick is a cultural icon in America. He will be very popular with many just as he is very unpopular with others. The big deal is this is a political cultural icon and not a relatively nuetral one in terms of politics.

Some might say this is a further attempt to bring politics into sports the way ESPN has become a political network that occasional does sports (jokes but some serious lol) but I think this is just a marketing ploy.... the question is will it drive more sales than it dives away?

I never even discussed that, dumbass.



You're a special kind of stupid, aren't you?

Randall Cunningham is second only to Michael Vick in all time rushing quarterbacks. Fran Tarkenton is number 5 just behind Steve Young.

Racist.

Ah yes name calling and bullying is how you win the school yard game.

Be such a little tyrant when someone disagrees with you.

Much love brah..
 
Mr K. is a dead beat hypocrite. I doubt he can walk the line at Nike. I say they cut him loose after 6 months of making Nike look bad. They guy can't stay out of trouble.

Who is using who at this point?

Brett Favre 86.0
Cam Newton 85.3
Joe Flaco 84.1
Eli Manning 83.5

Stop making shit up, racist.

His stats are high because of his short career.. Calling someone names doesn't reflect badly on them, it reflects badly on you.
