the businessman lived his principles, he didn't just give them lip service, by discontinuing Nike products in his store. standing up for his beliefs when those beliefs weren't popular took courage. I admire him.

You could say the same about Colin Kaepernick.

Except Bread and Circus (sports in general) and one more sports store all mean ZERO in the big picture.

The guy thought he found a marketing angle. Period. How many times in the past do you think he complained about his stock being made in Vietnam (commies) or Bangladesh (muslims - poor) or China? Zero.

I'm all for living your values but if you are tying on a Chinese computer going through a Chinese router one has to wonder who is the hypocrite? I mean - are you funding Google, Apple or Bill Gates or all of the above? Do you have Geico or do any of your products depend on the RR's that Buffet owns? If so you are financing his training of......well, I won't get into that. I'll assume you can do your own research.

Stay away from Dairy Queen. And the machine tools that Buffet makes money from too. Here is a reference for you....but keep in mind that these companies then create goods and services for many other companies that you probably use on a daily basis.

hahahahahaha Conservatives like Trump hahahahahahaha As if Trumps conservative. One store owner means exactly what now?

What a garbage OP. Nothing to do with policy and he quotes a lie. You can't make this up. Granted no discussion about policy as it would out the progressives as complete failures and the conservative policies as those which work best. But when you're too busy with your hand out begging for government welfare, what can one expect?

The store owner isn't black. Why do you care?
Have a Snickers.

You buy them. All the time. Stop putting on a front for your CD compatriots.

You’re so triggered that your post makes zero sense.
So, is trump a democrat now? Is that what he is? Is that why you come on here slobbering your loyalty to him, because he’s a democrat? Is that it?

Because they'd rather be able to type in 8 letters and one space and be done with it. A Google search is recommended before they do all that typing though

FOX NEWS -- Colorado store that quit selling Nike products over Kaepernick ad goes out of business

Around 2001-2009 he was a democrat.

I'm not loyal to him. I didn't support him. I support policy. It's always about policy. Progressive policies don't work. It doesn't matter which party is pushing big government.

Wipe your mouth. You're drooling all over the place and coupled with your nonsensical post you aren't coming across well.
