Don’t like it, get a marketable degree.

It absolutely is your business (and everyone else) if America’s underclass are using welfare money funded by taxpayers to buy overpriced depreciating assets.

Why they hell do you think they stay poor?

Apparently the outrage is coming from a group of people who were never Nike customers anyway. Guess Nike knows their demographic well enough to stand up to Trump and his following.
Of course. Nike is not stupid and has lots of customer data to understand the tradeoffs of their business choices.

Nobody is saying that every job should be "high paying". If you want to discuss this, be honest.

What's funny, actually sad, is you don't know what you're talking about. I could give you so many links how the NFL and the players are helping communities. I will give you just one though.

And if you actually watch the games they always profile what players are doing to give back.

Take time to read through the thread before commenting. Had you done that, you would have seen post #76 which is about MAGA hats.

I’m a scholar who doesn’t whine about poverty in America while buying overpriced goods that enrich white billionaire NFL owners. You’re clearly the other guy.
