Nike makes basketball shoes, not work boots. Not many that are offended by Kaepertwit are their customers.

My Nikes don't have politics written over them. Nor do they present some sort of political viewpoint to me. I will continue to wear mine.

Eh, kinda. Remember, Nike isn't just sports apparel but workout too. Not that they are the only one in that market, but they have a pretty sizable amount of it. IFF the people stop buying Nike when their shoes wearout or their clothes don't fit, you may have a quantifiable drop but not worth the market cap loss or the stock price drop. It was people jumping the gun or dumping the stock because of their own political bias.

These athletes make so much money, if they were truly all about Black power, wouldn't it make more sense to create their own independent shoe company? Hire graduates from all Black colleges to engineer and design everything from the shoes to the machines that make them. Hire nothing but Black employees to manufacture the shoes. Start up their own version of Amazon and their own stores. This is what I think they should do instead of just becoming another puppet for white corporate America. They could even place these plants in the poor ghetto areas and get these people off the streets and employed.
But wouldn't that be racist? Oh, I forgot, nothing is ALL WHITE. I am sure your idea will become true one day. But let a company only hire whites, such as one as big as Amazon, and imagine the lawsuits. I am sure you only buy and give your money to only black owned companies. How is that working out for you?

I guess outraged whites can instead go and buy the Ball family's Big Baller Brand shoes now...

Kap wore that shirt when his team was in Miami to play the Dolphins.

I wonder what United States of America Cubans in Miami and elsewhere think of Fidel Castro.
