Gullible righty morons let themselves be brainwashed into thinking taking a knee to protest injustice is more disrespectful then trashing a 5 year POW because he was captured
Among them are claims that workers at a Nike contract factory in Hansae, Vietnam, suffered wage theft and verbal abuse, and labored for hours in temperatures well over the legal limit of 90 degrees, to the point that they would collapse at their sewing machines. Nike is also accused of cutting jobs at the Hansae factory and pulling production from a factory in Honduras with a strong union presence, resulting in hundreds of workers losing vital jobs. The company has also allegedly denied the independent monitoring group Worker Rights Consortium (WRC) access to inspect its contract factories. The WRC was founded in 2000 by universities, international labor rights experts, and student groups, including USAS, to ensure that products bearing university logos were made under conditions that respected workers’ rights. (The organization says it had no part in the USAS protests.)
The WRC issue could become a serious one for Nike. The sneaker giant owns a major part of what the WRC estimates is a $4 billion retail market for university-logo products, the largest share of which is apparel. Georgetown, Northeastern, and Rutgers—all among the WRC’s 190 university affiliates—have already cut ties with Nike or said they will allow their contracts to expire due to the company’s stance on factory inspections. The University of Washington, meanwhile, has temporarily extended its expiring contract with Nike as it awaits the outcome of Nike’s mediation with Georgetown. (Update: Nike and Georgetown announced an agreement on Aug. 30 that gives the WRC formal access to Nike supplier factories making products for WRC affiliates.)
No more than gullible than lefty morons who let themselves be brainwashed into thinking that a slave wage sweatshop corporation is cool because it joins in on the latest identity politics fad of the moment,

Nike virtue signaling on social justice while making their product with kids in sweatshops
tribal politics is being perpetrated by the tribal politicians, not the media.I care about as much for what Nike does as I do what CK does. I am sick of all the tribal politics being perpetrated by the media and big corporations...
maybe if the trumps didn't use sweatshops to produce their products maybe they'd have a leg to stand on.Those kids in sweatshops aren't Nike employees.
And you're never going to be able to convince people that Trumpers care about brown kids in faraway countries when Trumpers don't care about brown kids right here in America.
You're not supposed to look behind the curtain.ROFLMAO!!! How bold of NIKE to hire Colin. What an ethical upright company they are. A model for all other corporations. I wonder if NIKE will ever get woke enough to pay its workers a living wage.
Its funny how just a little virtue signalling can make even the most morally questionable corporations seem suddenly pure.

LOL nope, not even close.Politics aside Colin is the most inspirational athlete of this generation?
So today the conservatives are aiming to get to get a 6-3 majority in the Supreme Court while the "liberal media" conveniently distracts everyone with this fluff piece.
Believing what they see is not most people's strong suit. And that's the real fact
That doesn’t sound as scaryI believe it's a 5-4 v. conservative majority.

Exactly. His rise in activism correlated to the decline in his career, and only became a thing after a photographer caught him sulking on the bench during the national anthem.Politics aside Colin is the most inspirational athlete of this generation?

There is a lot of alarmism over the Supreme Court. Democrats didn’t play the long game and it will cost them the judiciary. There was far too much arrogance over inevitability.I have a feeling that after a few bad court decisions we may see a Democrat President add 2 more Justices under the pretense that one seat was stolen and possibly the other seats(s) were appointed by a corrupt President.
I’ll also say all hell will break loose if RBG cannot fulfill her term until the end of Trumps Presidency. She really should have retired during Obama.

I would prefer it if Nike chose to recognize or endorse one of the players who authentically took a knee. Or maybe feature both Alejandro Villanueva and Meghan Rapinoe in the 30 year campaign, as there are several dimensions to this.
Regardless, I still purchased a pair of Nike cleats over the weekend because they are a good product and I recognize that the social media politics of major brands is about one thing...making money.
That sounds like the alarmist talking points of the resistance. Conservatives had that majority already with Kennedy. Roberts and Kennedy often served as spoilers to prevent a dramatic shift to the right. Kavanaugh, as the heir to Kennedy’s seat, will do the same.It is scary. Republicans have had this strategy in place for a while. They have already picked the cases they will appeal up to the Supreme court. Affirmative Action, Roe v. Wade, immigrant rights, etc. etc. There is no difference between a 6-3 Conservative majority and a 5-4 conservative majority when the conservatives generally vote the same way.

Having said that, I don’t see Trump pushing any hard right ideologues to the bench. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh are both excellent choices, although I would prefer Trump replace RBG with Garland as a gesture of good will under that scenario. Not going to happen.
