    For ****s sake it is not. You lack perspective. He is entitled to his perspective. You dont get to hijack it because some ****ing jackass bullshit moron president dislikes the opinion.

    One might imagine that Trump is skewing and spinning the message for the sole purpose of riling up his clueless base but I truly believe that Trump really is that dumb and has no conception of why taking a knee is a perfectly acceptable and legit form of peaceful protest. Yes...he really is that dumb.

    'Hands up, don't shoot' is a lie. BLM arose out of that lie.
    Kaepernick is the celebrity face of BLM. therefore Kaepernick is a gullible moron, and/or a liar himself...which, yes, he's entitled.

    Nike just aligned itself with all of that dysfunction and deceit.

    You would think the people companies hire to endorse their products would be the people everyone can identify with and respect. In that regard, this is a poor business decision IMHO.

    His protest is all about one person and one issue only?

    I agree, 75% of sports fans are against what he stands for and it has caused a noted drop in NFL viewership. What kind of moron wants to bring that same attention to his company.

    All the more reason for never buying a NIKE product again.

    And elderly white Republicans don't wear Nike's anyway. They know their market.

    Charles Manson believed in something. Dylann Roof believed in something. Ted Kaczynski believed in something. Timothy McVeigh believed in something.

    To reach their full clientele Nike should also feature an add with Casey Anthony. That way they’ll cover aspiring poets and white trash.

    Taking a knee is the telltale sign of a serial killer or cold-blooded mass shooter?

    "air kaepernik" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but leave it to the marketing geniuses in oregon to milk this one for a few bucks.
    but let me help them out a bit here...

    "believe in something, it doesn't matter how wrong it is or unsupportable by facts, just believe... oh, and buy our shoes!"

    hey more than one young african american male met his demise back in the day at the hands of another young african american male over a pair of air jordans. well done, nike!
