This is what happens when you slander the memory of those who served

Except for John McCain. Slander away.

Who buys NIKE gears ? Young and Millenials
Politically speaking, where are Millenials and Youngs ? On the Left

Nike is a huge coorporations and the US is crucial market for them so if they choosed to side on Kaepernick's side, it's for business reasons, not political reasons. Nike's accountants have determined that supporting Kaepernick would earn the money, much more than the backlash would cost them. They've determined that Liberals have won the culture war.
Nike's an important advertiser, they control the real money so when they say that Kaepernick is their guy, the NFL will bow its head. Kaepernick is gonna be back in the NFL

I think he's the starting QB for the Armchair Jackasses.

And Nathan Pterman is the starting QB for the Bills. Nahtan Peterman !

Over half of Nike’s sales are outside of the United States. They will pick up sales abroad and lose sales here. They are taking a gamble, one that they have undoubtedly researched to see if they can weather the storm. They will however, lose a lot of sales to municipal organizations in certain areas. I can almost guarantee any law enforcement organizations will stop purchasing their products.
They have received the last dollar they will ever get from me and I have bought a lot of their shit.

Bingo. Nike know's what they're doing. Kaepernick had the 39th best selling jersey in 2017. And he wasn't even on a roster! Nike know's their market is not the 40+ white guy. It's young people. And young people buy Nike because the tastemakers wear Nike. Like musicians and athletes. Long term Nike is going to be just fine

The one who serves always deserves more respect than the one who doesn't. But the liberals don't give a shit of vets and don't care about vets , law enforcement personnel (these morons want to abolish ICE because they like illegals so much) and military personnel as well.

How about none ?
An entertainer like Kaepernick is not a héro
Being in the military does not automaticaly makes you a héro

Also, Kaepernick never said that the flag "stands for oppression".

When a person sacrifices herself selfessly for her country and a cause, she/he is a hero and much important than just any celebrity or entertainer. Would you have said that about those who sacrificed themselves selflessly for freeing France the 6th june 1944??

Unless they were captured, correct?

Oh yeah? Try telling that to the bonespur-in-chief

PS: Glen Coffee did not give up a lavish career to serve as an army ranger.
He was a backup running back who retired in 2010 because, as he noted, he had no passion for it.
He didn't enlist in the army until 2013.

Ouch. He was probably out of options.

True. But Glenn Coffeed never sacrificed himself :
he is now a paratrooper assigned to Army Ranger School, which trains elite soldiers and has a third and final phase of training here in the swamps of Florida
[...]
Although not in Special Operations, Coffee serves in the waterborne operations section of Ranger School. He is asked regularly if he wants to attend Ranger School himself.

Staying in the US, thousands of miles from danger, wading into Florida swamps, never setting foot in a war zone, this not my definition of sacrificing yourself, of being a true hero.

The one who serves always deserves more respect than the one who doesn't.

So I guess you have mor respect for Chelsea Manning than for Donald Trump, right ?

Nope , I never cared for Chelsea Manning she was a democrat transgender and leaked classified information in 2010 to WikiLeaks and confided this to Adrian Lamo, an online acquaintance. I don't like sellouts and traitors plus she is an Obama muppet to boot too (President Barack Obama commuted Manning's sentence to nearly seven years of confinement dating from her arrest on May 27, 2010 when it should never have been the case), so no way I can like her. In January 2018, she announced her candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate election in her home state of Maryland, challenging incumbent senator Ben Cardin On June 26, 2018, Manning finished second among eight Democrats seeking their party's U.S. Senate nomination in Maryland's primary election. Manning received 5.7% of the votes; Cardin won renomination with 80.5% of the votes cast.I have far more respect for General Matthis.

I think the backlash over Nike making Kaepernick the face of their 30th anniversary ad is stupid. The people destroying their Nike products are just racist bigots who are using patriotism to mask their prejudice for black and brown people.

Are you saying that McStain selflessly decided to become a POW?
4 of Trump’s deferments were because of college and only one were due to his heel spurs.
A physician made the determination that it would be an impediment to military service. Do you know more than an examining physician?

Even HuffPo couldn’t reach that conclusion.

So glad this guy is president, if for nothing else, to watch you and a few other snowflakes lose your minds on a daily basis.

Dear Nike,

This is what "sacrificing everything" looks like.

 

[sean miguel]

Colin Kaepernick was benched after the 49ers were at that point 1-11 and had lost 11 straight in 2016. The Niners' GM made it clear to him that offseason that he would be released or he could opt out of his contract and become a free agent, whatever.

How did Kaepernick "sacrifice everything?" By that point, his career as a starting QB was basically over. Sure some teams may have signed him as a backup (the Seahawks reached out to him twice) but not with the additional baggage of his on the field activism.

But no, he made a savvy business decision by going SJW. He now has a lucrative contract with Nike. And it should be said, he has done some good donating money and clothing to the poor here and abroad.

So anyone who supports the flag is a racist and bigot??? Those are news to me I will remember you what your dear community organizer Obama Notrauma said about why he didn't follow the protocol when the National Anthem was played:
"“As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides,” Obama said. “There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem it self conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.’ If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.” Typical liberal socialist and unpatriotic bs coming from the worst and most divisive president USA ever had. Enough of Obama muppeting.
