Surprising certainly . . . I think its great Nike supports him however the pros/cons would be uncalculable
But the report concluded that "the projects Knight announced have been of little benefit to Nike workers," or "have helped only a tiny minority, or else have no relevance to Nike factories at all."
The report said that "Nike workers are still forced to work excessive hours in high pressure work environments, are not paid enough to meet the most basic needs of their children, and are subject to harassment, dismissal and violent intimidation if they try to form unions or tell journalists about labor abuses in their factories."
Kudos to Colin too. Keep fighting the good fight.
Yep... I wonder how many millions Nike paid him? All that sacrifice he made to get his millions. I don't care about the issue either way other than the circus level entertainment value....But ignoring that Colin is now getting paid for kneeling kinda diminishes the message he was trying to get across no?
Nike makes knee pads; it's a good marketing move.
So now I see some Trumpers burning their Nike shoes. Too bad the only ones I see burning are the cheapest ones Nike sells.
These folks protesting Nike should put their $$$ where their misguided sentiments are and start burning their precious high dollar Nike collectibles to make a real and honest statement about their feelings.
Strong finish.Now I'm not from the USA, dislike mainline conservatives and liberals all the same, but its a FACT that liberals control the media, control schools, control college and are brainwashing kids to usually be single issue slave voters for the democratic party!
Be honest, is The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged your favorite book?Who cares? Snowflakes on both sides scream and yell like 5yo children! Its a calculated move by Nike and they think its going to bring them more sales by liberals buying more of their shoes.
Ultimately the question is whether the kneeling is right? For that we have to look at the statistics and evidence. Fact of the matter is that blacks biggest threat is other blacks.Black on black violence is magnitude higher than any other race/nationality/ethnicity violence between same people. About 1000 people get killed by police each year, about 3/4th are estimated to be justified by killing armed criminals who are often fighting back
Now that 1/4 is still a lot of innocent people that get killed, but only 40% of those are blacks and out of those HALF are killed by BLACK police officers! So its not like there is some conspiracy theory of white cops gunning down black innocent kids, when half the murders of blacks by police are done by black police officers.
I think the big issue arrives when blacks make this about color, because that is divisive. When the only prism you see things from is the color of the skin, then you are going to get more division, NOT less. I think MSM and progressive manipulators trick blacks into making it all about color, knowing full well it will cause division and NOT actually solve the issue. They do this because the MSM, the regressive left hates blacks and want everyone else to hate blacks as well.
They take a real issue, brainwash blacks into going about it the wrong way so that they create a permanent single issue voting block of black slaves, NEVER actually fixing the issue AND making whites a lot more color conscious and more division. The regressive left and its controllers have replaced the historical plantation of the blacks with a new democratic plantation, where most blacks are brainwashed by MSM to be single issue voters and to vote for the democrat party.

Mizunos are your friends.I just wish they made better stability running shoes, well, ones that had the cushioning last more than a few months.
Heard about it, heard its a great book, but haven't read it.Be honest, is The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged your favorite book?
naw man, Asics Nimbus or Cumulus. They changed a lot between the Nimbus 18 and the 19, and not for the better, the new 20's are supposed to be more like the 18's but I don't have $160 to shell out on running shoes right now. If I was back to my 10k running days, yea, I'd pop for them. But until then, I'll stick with 2 generations back, and save about $70 on a pair.Mizunos are your friends.
Yea, the surprise meter didn't budge on that admissionHeard about it, heard its a great book, but haven't read it.
My favorite book on this issue is FBI's 2016 uniform crime statistics and the justice departments numbers about it. Its that simple and I'm really into truth and evidence and facts!

Admission on what? Its a book dude, one that I've not read. Been told its great, but can't judge unless I read it for myself. Nice conspiracy theory you concocted right this instant on a basic answer about hearing about a book, sorry I don't live under a rock. That book happens to be quite popular, almost as popular as fifty shades of gray!Yea, the surprise meter didn't budge on that admission

Those kids in sweatshops aren't Nike employees.Nike virtue signaling on social justice while making their product with kids in sweatshops
