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

Get the legendary Air Max look with the updated Nike Men’s Air Max Motion fashion sneaker. The breathable upper design is light and breezy, constructed with a combination of mesh and synthetic materials with durable overlays. An iconic Nike Max Air unit is in the midsole for added style and trusted support. The full-length rubber outsole is built with unique flex grooves that allow for natural motion and keep you grounded

Ewwww, air. Gel might be heavier but has more support. My feet are very sensitive.

I'm a Pure Land Amidaist. Taco Dork, Olive Drab, and SmogDog are the ones claiming Buddhist have no soul. But then what goes to the Pure Land (heaven) which is dedcribed as having lotus ponds adorned with jewels? If you're just energy why do you need jewels, ponds, and lotuses? It must be something like a soul(jiva).

Feel free to point out where I said anything racist or him being a poor Quarterback.

Or, if I take a page out of your book.

Stop making shit up, child molester.

You really shouldn't post when you have no clue what you're talking about.

It opened this morning at 79.39 per share. It's presently at 80.04 per share. It's actually up slightly. It is still down for the quarter, however.

Uh huh, that was after a 2+ point drop after they announced their new little ad. And no one even knows about this thing yet. ' Merica is still drinking coffee and figuring out lunch.

Do a 5 day look at Nike. Notice the big drop all of a sudden? That was Kaperdick.

79.72 at posting.

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.

Nike athletic shoes are better though... the reason is the fit. they stretch out and perfectly hug the foot.

Asics have a really long lasting sole - but they tend to come apart near the pinky. they stretch out too much near the toes and become uncomfortable after a while. I tend to think the 'look' of an Asics is better than the Nike though. I like how an Asics looks on, and i think the Nikes are a bit obnoxious with the SWOOSH in your face.... but the way they perform in competition is undeniable.

The only arena where Nike doesn't excel is futbol/football/soccer cleats. They tend to scrape the back of the ankle and are very thin and take too long to stretch out.

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.

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.

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?

Why is peaceful protest against racist police brutality divisive?

Do you hate peaceful protest or do you like police shooting black kids?
