I would have bought some if I was into that sort of thing, I was very confident this was a good decision. It's all about demographics, MAGA types don't wear high-end Nike gear. They wear hoodies and socks and cheap athletic shorts. Jordans, Dri-FIT, Pegasus...those are the money brands, and it isn't surprising that the MAGA crowd isn't buying that stuff.
The hilarious thing is that a typical American MAGA idiot who thought this was a bad move never even considered international sales, which account for a majority of Nike's revenue
Not surprising the MAGA crowd forgot about sales abroad lol

They believe everyone thinks like them.. Americans and furners.
Nike stock drops have cost them $3 billion loss this morning. I was low in my estimate.
Politics aside, doesn’t the whole ad agency at Nike that went forward with this campaign get shit canned immediately?
someone has to for sure.
So did anyone get fired?
Bonus, more likely. Plus, there's no way a campaign like this didn't go all the way up to the board before approval. It's not like Don Draper met with a mid level guy and made it happen.

Exactly. Most of the world is anti-Trump.
Most of the world is oppressed and would love to be able to openly express themselves without retribution.
There are many that that have happened throughout our history that don't come out until much later (if at all). This book is full of them and I highly recommend it. (The NY Times made an open invitation for any historian to come forward with proof of anything in this book as being false. To my knowledge, no one had been able to do that.)
I'm going to pick this up!
Excellent!
To me, reading it was a lot like reading the South Pacific/Asian version of Dee Brown's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. The raw truth about parts of US history that have been conveniently ignored.
Will look forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

I actually dont have a problem with it... challenging the status quo causes a conversation, which is a healthy thing in my opinion
Serious question: nobody has questions about the Pentagon and 9/11? No curiosity? No intrigue? No need to challenge the official narrative? No video? The damage site and lack of debris? 19 assholes with boxcutters supposedly turn the world upside down and nobody is supposed to question it?
No tin foil hat here, just wondering?
There is a video from a surveillance camera outside the Pentagon. I saw it on one the 9-11 documentaries I watched last night.
I've seen it, you could see a plane on that? I couldnt make anything out. That video is actually part of my problem, that's the best they've got? Washington DC, one of the more important and secure buildings in the world, and we dont have any video of this better than that?
just when I see you speak of imaginary border lines you go and say this...and completely redeem yourself!
I call it how I see it brother
Careful, someone here may call you a conspiracy theorist.

I think that's exactly what happened.
somewhere in NY, during the 60's, there was a guy just like Don (maybe without the desertion)... what a life.
My mom has carried on a weird long distance, non-sexual love affair with a man for 50 years, and he was an advertising exec in the 60s (and beyond). She says Mad Men is super realistic, lol.

Also who stands up for the oppressed factory worker making this garbage...
College kids and consumer activists. They’ve actually driven quite a bit of reform in the overseas apparel and light manufacturing sectors.
There are also activists in the countries where it's an issue - people are trying to fight for workers' rights in those places. Time will tell if their efforts pay off more than they already have.

I can't imagine how much nikes would cost if people were paid decent wages to make them. or the companies would just have to adjust profit margins to reflect their new expenses, since no one would pay $1000 for a pair of sneakers.

This is why the Trans Pacific Partnership was so important. It wasn't just about "free trade", that was a minor part. Labor standards were a really big part of it. But we walked away.

That's what we need for our society to survive long term IMO, just in general. The ridiculously massive profit margins are the cause of the ever-growing chasm between the rich and the rest of us.
As for the comments about Nike quality... I have never bought anything low quality from Nike. I've got 10 year old runners that are still in good shape, and a 12 year old track jacket that is in great condition too. I think the quality is good. Not sure what products people are buying that are crappy, but I've never bought them... Has the quality of Nike only recently dropped off or what?

6 billion dollar bump in company value since the Kap ad. Hahahaha thinking about all the dumbass morons that destroyed Nike gear only to hear that the company's value is through the roof....damn, that just feels good.

So glad I bought more of it last week
Thanks Nike
