...wants some of the treatment the NFL (who didn’t ask for it) is getting....?
K....good luck.
That poor NFL.
LMAO!
An excellent marketing strategy by Nike is... ...we can lose millions maybe billions... ...and still not be poor?
Brilliant. Surprised they didn’t hire you yet.
Ummmm... ...well no shit. Those revenues are from contracts signed before this whole crap started. ...and well before players would start seeing paycuts for their actions.
Spin it any way you want sweetie. Just because you want something to be true, doesn’t make it true. People whining about the NFL are the biggest pussies.
Yeah... ...I’m spinning while numbers prove I’m correct.
A minority is being handled with kid gloves by the NFL at the expense of their ratings (money).
Yet I provided a link showing their revenue was up.
When the facts don't support your argument, just keep responding with stupid posts and eventually someone might believe you are correct.
Do their shoes come with free knee pads?
is that a big selling point for you? Work hazard?
No me, but maybe Kappernick.
He's getting paid millions of dollars to be retired............. and is going to get paid even more after this lawsuit against the NFL
Lol, obviously Nike isn't worried about losing the fat assed racist consumer group.
Thinking that people are against these protests because of race is moronic.
....but playing the race card (victim) is the new norm.
almost as moronic as seeing these protests as an attack on our flag, veterans, military, ect.
but playing the "I'mma not watch/buy/eat these things that I don't already do, cause 'Merika!" card is a fan favorite in certain subsections of this country
number of people shot to death by Police 2017Thinking that people are against these protests because of race is moronic.
....but playing the race card (victim) is the new norm.
They can shit on the American flag for all I care.... ...just not on the company clock and when I’m paying to be entertained.
Isn’t it interesting that they don’t protest on their own time?
What they’re even protesting about is completely lost.
number of people shot to death by Police 2017
White: 457
Black: 211
Hispanic: 179
number of people who die every year from medical malpractice(from John Hopkins) over 250,000..3rd leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer.
Exhibit A for why we have President Trump.Lol, obviously Nike isn't worried about losing the fat assed racist consumer group.
The DOD (taxpayers) shelled out over 50 mill to the NFL..this paid patriotism thingy had some unintended consequencesalmost as moronic as seeing these protests as an attack on our flag, veterans, military, ect.

When race is no longer important then this country can move on.
The real issue is that people are looked at by their color of skin.
Blacks are stereotyped as well as whites.
The issue for players is that they are attempting to bring their communities up.
Sports is one of the only ways for a lot of blacks to get out of their situation.
Their schools fail them. The police fail them and more importantly they feel like their country has failed them.
Behaviorist have already proven that outside influences determine a person's life.
Allow these players to speak up so people will understand that poverty is not an issue based on race.
Cause there are as many whites who are born without the chance for success as blacks.
I agree but believe that race will always be a determining factor. In this country, everyone is born with unalienable rights, i.e. equal opportunities. However, that doesn't mean that all will have equal results. It really depends upon how you look at it -opportunities vs. results - that helps shape the person you become. As long as some people have a woe is me victim attitude there will always be those who profess a victor attitude and therefore stereotyping will continue. It isn't exclusive to race but the preponderance is there. The thing to remember is this: In order for there to be a stereotype, there must be at least a hint of truth about it.
The second paragraph really burns my butt. This outlook of sports, schools, and the government "failing" them is a large part of the problem. All of these will always fail them because they don't care about them and nor should they. The only thing that should care about them is their family and, by proxy, community. The whole foundation of our society, micro to macro, is based on the foundation of family. When over 70% of your children are born out of wedlock, your community is going to fail (btw, whites are approaching 40%). Without both outlooks and role models, a child doesn't learn the "role" he or she is supposed to play. They continue the cycle of failed behaviors and always search for saviors in the things that don't or can't provide them, ie schools, athletes, and the government.
Behaviorist are correct, as stated above, that outside influences affect lives and most importantly decisions. Those decisions are where your values lie. Poverty is a relative term (what is considered poverty here would be the good life elsewhere) but usually is the result of bad choices or not taking advantage of the opportunities you were born with. In a country with this much abundance of everything, especially opportunities, poverty shouldn't exist. If you make the right decisions - graduate school (preferably college), get a job, and don't have a child out of wedlock - you are virtually guaranteed success - no matter what your race.
