A lot of people went out and bought Nike gear to show support. The boycotters? Their impact will be felt over time as they buy other stuff. Ultimately I doubt this will have an Earth-shattering impact either way.1995 Milwaukee 1998 Alpine, Alpine 2003 Albany, Boston, Boston, Boston 2004 Boston, Boston 2006 Hartford, St. Paul (Petty), St. Paul (Petty) 2011 Alpine, Alpine

Buffalo could be an option. I think as long as you have marginal eyesight and can throw a five yard out you may be qualified to start for them.

I do have to give the tip of the cap to Kap (wakka wakka) for his personal marketing strategy. Most former 30 year old QBs are selling used Audi cars outside of their college home town, not the face of a major corporation's marketing campaign.

I have no problem at all with Nike going in the direction they did, and support them for doing so, but lets not kid ourselves and think they did it motivated by social justice0

It’s a business. They have stock holders. They better have considered the bottom line.
heck - that bought process ends up with bigger wins in the long term. Sustainability is a good example. Not just doing things to do things but bringing along a cost effective sustainability program is much better for the long term.
i can’t believe anyone would give Nike shit for this. Well I can in AMT or on social media cause everyone’s always gotta be mad.hippiemom = goodness0 -

shareholders are just fine.......By Renae Reints September 23, 2018
Nike’s market value has risen by $6 billion since its controversial decision to feature former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick in its new ad campaign, CBS News reports. Shares are up over 36% for the year, nearly 5% just since the ad’s launch.
Kaepernick is known for being the first NFL player to take a knee during the national anthem back in 2016, kicking off a movement against racial inequality that’s faced criticism from all walks of life, including the president.
Embracing the controversy, Nike made Kaepernick the face of its campaign celebrating the 30th anniversary of its “Just Do It” slogan. Angry critics almost immediately began cutting up their Nike socks and burning their Nike sneakers. The sportswear giant’s stocks took a 3% dip early on, a $4 billion loss.
But after a bumpy start, Nike’s campaign has certainly paid off: in mid-September, its stock hit a record high, with products selling out more frequently. Long-term investors are seeing the benefits of having Kaepernick on board. Nike is, after all, the world’s 18th most valuable brand according to Interbrand, and the Kaepernick controversy created free press.
“I don’t think they just randomly decided to put this ad out, thinking, ‘Let’s commit political-correctness suicide,'” Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley RBR, told CBS News. “People vote with their wallets, and the one clear winner in athletic apparel remains Nike.”

I've bought quite a bit of Nike clothing prepping for fall in the last few weeks. If you make quality, I will buy quality. I don't boycott or buy just because of who a company uses to sell its products ... unless they use Pac-Man. I will buy a 10 year old fruit cake if they slap some power pellets and ghosts on it.Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0

I'm sorry to hear about the fire. How awful.
YES! The Ms Pac-Man barroom table is amazing. My favorite neighborhood pub had one and I sat at it and played all the time (or it was my favorite place until it closed and got torn down last year - such a shame; it was an amazing old ski lodge.... I wonder what happened to the Ms Pac-Man table).I played tons of Pac-Man when we got our Atari, but my mom was the one who got truly addicted. She finally really fucked up her hand - serious Atari claw - and finally broke the joystick playing it, lol.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful.
