Nike unveils new ad featuring Colin Kaepernick

that doesn't answer the question. nobody is saying nike can't hire this idiot to be their new favorite negro. but some are wondering what business strategy would drive such a move given air kaep's polarizing nature. the guy is a lightning rod. that can be both good and bad for nike's profits. don't believe for a second this is about anything but that, by the way. i almost respect them for their unbridled cynical exploitation of black kids dying in pursuit of profit.

 

Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.

 

If you think about it, Nike is trying to capitalize on blacks who were shot by cops.

 

i know exactly why he's doing it. you're not going to like my answer i suspect.

 

I'm pointing out the meaningless idiocy of the 'deep' slogan Nike's SJWs probably paid an ad agency a huge sum to come up with.

 

Why is he doing it? For the money. You can't get any more American than that.

 

uhm, i suspect the comment was directed at the banality of this "marketing slogan." what am i supposed to believe in? oh "something?" heck, that's great because i needed a shoe company to tell me i should believe in something. i believe space aliens visited earth about 4 billion years ago, made sweet love with monkeys, thus populating the planet. where's my shoes?

 

Only serial killers and mass shooters believe in something...don't ya know that?

 

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

Its about far more than hands up dont shoot. It's about systemic oppression which undeniably exists and exists beyond the microcosm of police violence.

 

i graciously accept your concession.

 

Says the guy who supports Castro

 

And you're a liberal who supports a guy who hasn't a clue about what oppression is.

 

it's only about hands up don't shoot. totally made up "oppression"

 

I dont really care bout Castro. I care about the fact you and the right smeared this issue and turned it into an assassination of character. Kaepernick simply said something you lot disliked. No one is allowed to dissent.

 

your ad hominem fallacy proves you already lost the argument... as if you ever even had one.

 

Blah blah blah. What I said is right.

 

Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.

 

i didn't say i won. i said you lost. you didn't make an argument, you just insulted me personally. this proves nothing except your demonstrated incapacity to construct a factual argument. i wish you could hear my laughter.

 

Blah, blah, blah, what I said was right, Kap supports violent, oppressive murdering dictators and you say he has some degree of character.

 

That's a pretty narrow and selective view of this nation, don't you think? I mean, one would have to be pretty resentful and pessimistic to distill things to that extent. I think it'd be fair to say that this is a delusional way of seeing things.

 

Everyone has a degree of character. You just dislike his character. So you believe bullshit about him.

 

I believe he only cares about black people being shot and not white people. Now go ahead, bring up all the statistics you want, but whites are still being shot and he doesn't care and neither do you.

 

i made a what? wtf is "making a boat?"

now as to the verbal diarrhea you're spraying all over the board, i'll gladly withdraw my gracious acceptance of your concession and wipe the floor with any "argument" you'd dare advance. i just need an apology.

 

Apology? **** that noise.

Pose your argument and prove your boast or stop spewing nonsense.

 

correction: he only cares about black people being shot by white people, primarily peace officers. he could care less about the thousands of black people killed by other black people.
