Lol!

That being said, he should not have taken the product off his shelves. People do have short memories
Uh, the entire DOW was over 1,000 points higher 13 months ago...same with many stocks and Indexes. The Trump Chaos Crash just may have something to do with things.....

I guess the thousands of companies I own (through funds, etc.) must have all taken a knee and been pointed to by Don the Con?

LOL.

He was thinking more and more 'budlights' will show up and buy 10 pairs instead of 1 to show their strong support. Unfortunately all 'budlights' simply claimed 'fake news' and never stepped in his stores

All online media advertises for members, subscriptions etc, regardless of political ideology. The larger the subscribing base, the more attractive they become to sponsor $.

No one ever accused Limbaugh of being liberal. Yet he “ begs for members”.

If someone goes bankrupt over a single brand they were doing something seriously wrong to begin with and weren't going to last anyway. Who buys Nike crap anymore anyway?

I learned long ago that they'll omit information, lie, embellish etc. to get the story the way they and their readers want it. You have to fact check anything they write which defeats the purpose.

This story falls firmly under my policy of "vote with your wallet". *shrug*

Big dummy. Meanwhile, Nike is blowing up, feeling no pain from the so-called boycott, and has seen their stocks shoot into the stratosphere.

In this life ya gotta know where your bread is buttered. Nike can crush any obstinate retailer. Their gear is too popular.

The great news is Nike stock has never recovered after their ill-fated decision to promote anti-Americanism. It's 85.55 high in September has never seen that level since.

Praise God.

Not fakes news.
Why do people declare such when it is so easy to do research?


As reported by a local Colorado station:

“”I just can’t keep the doors open anymore,” said Martin, telling News5 he made the decision to close for good on Sunday night.
...
“As much as I hate to admit this, perhaps there are more Brandon Marshall and Colin Kaepernick supporters out there than I realized,” said Martin.“

I admire this patriot for following his convictions. Like the Nike ad says: "Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything". This hero will land on his feet. And really, the NFL should have cut ties with anti-American Nike.
