Who cares. They're losing on this issue and the smart thing to do would be to fall back and shift the narrative.

It's gotta be a rude awakening when you realize that the rest of the United States doesn't share your small world view. I'm glad a big company like Nike decided to put themselves out there. They really have NOTHING to lose. I don't know why the NFL chose the side of racists... they have nothing to lose either. Your player base is black. A large portion of your fans are minorities. Plus where else is your hick consumer gonna go?

And lastly, prominent cacs like JJ Watt, Aaron Rodgers, and Tom Brady had nothing to lose as well. Your fans would still rock with you.

Look at Eminem, he didn't really lose and fans because he went at Trump.

Soon all of these people are going to have nowhere to run to reinforce their archaic and outdated views.

The NFL knows white people are in charge of alot of things... :ld: The owners are white the commissioner is white the PAYING fans who got box season tickets are probably white, the NFL shareholders are probably white... Keep it 100...

I like it when my activists are NOT starving :yeshrug:
why cant he do speeches across the country for a fee. Being co-oped by a corporation and serving them your message on a silver platter are the actions of a shrewd businessman capitalising on his notoriety not an activist concerned about a cause

him being paid shouldn't be a + for the cause he is driving home

his voice was already being heard by his hard work( solo)

his " business partner" is just that, a business partner, they are now turning his hard work into their campaign

nikkas went from " lets build and circulate money between one another:salute:" to " im buying 2 pairs of nike shoes just because of this :blessed:"

with statements like that ,it just proves their plan is working .
it always dangerous heralding someone you dont really know a demigod. No one really knows kaep's true motives or whether hes even carried on with his activism in the last 12 months. But I dont see how aligning with nike helps the cause it just lines his pockets. For the ppl saying he lost everything and he deserves to get paid, is he some bum that didnt go to college and can only get paid by being a celebrity now?

they just don’t know how to deal with adversity. The nfl was king for awhile now they don’t know how to act ( also the owners are racist ) they should of ignored the trump shyt and said we support the players rights to express themselves as every American can ( also the players personalities help sell the league in the social media , cable era ) and we respect the fans as well . Instead they panicked .

EM lost some fans but it’s not cause of trump it’s cause he doesn’t know how to be a underdog anymore and the nfl is doing the same flailing around trying to stay relevant with all the bad press .nfl thought Kaepernick was gonna go away but they let trump and his base bamboozle them and made it a huge story .

Nike ( the biggest sneaker brand ) is providing him a platform to continue spread his message is bad ?

were you there? did you live it? or did you hear someone named marcellus say it. Cuz i dont remember mlk appearing in an coca cola ads like a prop saying i have a dream and its "always the real thing". If he was receiving cheques by them newsflash he was receiving cheques from a lot of white donors thats not in the same wheelhouse as what kaep is doing with nike
