You won't get any disagreement from anyone.

You don’t know anything about Pat. I knew him personally. He’d be Kap’s biggest supporter.

Sacrificing everything? Please. Pat would also reject these silly narratives that make him out to be anything but what he was...just another soldier doing his duty.

If anyone should have given a sacrifice, it’s guys like Pat Tillman. He was born into relative privilege, attended college on scholarship and played a game that paid him well. Who else but HIM should’ve sacrificed his life? This country was good to him, and a lot of men that never had it so good as him gave their lives too.

So chill with that nonsense.

Not my family. We like Rebocks and New Balance more. Nike shoes are too narrow and don't breath as well.

Nike may be pulling a Dicks Sporting goods. Let's see if they like getting involved in Political Statements.

So far the movies are not making much money and Netflix had to pull some shows due to less viewers.

My prediction is that Nike will pay the price! No pun intended.

Get woke, go broke. I've been buying Nike shoes for years, but no longer.

Now we can add another reason why Nike shoes should be hanging from the powerlines.

Privilege? Make no mistake about it, Tillman earned his way in life. Unless you want to say Kaepernick was privileged too. But you wont since that would hurt your narrative and deflect from the fact the Kaepernick more than likely never would have made it this far if his birth mother didn't give him up for adoption because the birth father was a gutless coward. Kaepernick was raised by two parents and that is what makes a difference.

Of course minorities are going to be arrested more than whites and asians since overwhelmingly they come from single parent families which puts them at a disadvantage.

The only nonsense is your continued bs about law enforcement being racist.

Did you know Stalin or Chairman Mao too or just their biggest supporter ?
