And AZ just lost a crap load of jobs. I am sure Nike will find another state or country to build their plant.
Sometimes the price is too high and one must choose principle over material gain. Imagine if a company did something similar as Nike but with the Rainbow flag.
God, I wish this washed-up, has-been Kaepernick would just go away.
Nike is in my rear view mirror. There's plenty of other athletic wear companies to choose from who are focused on the customer, instead of the topic/debate/the hot button of the day and advancing that message.
Like anything, vote with your wallet. Stop purchasing Nike products if you disagree with their political stances and their support of an athlete's agenda.
It's really a pretty dumb move for Nike to do. I won't buy anything Nike related anymore, I haven't since they got in bed with that dumbass ungrateful pinhead.
I hate to wish ill on my local economy but I hope they do.
Hopefully one of the other 49 states benefits.
I still support his right to protest and voice his opinion, however he is just ridiculously off base.
I mean the Nike symbol alone used to be associated with child labor, sweat shops, and all kinds of horrible human working conditions, but since that little "swoosh" puts money in his pocket, that symbol is ok.
One can have an opinion, but it doesnt mean its right or at all logical.
Great, now we are taking fake history lessons from a washed up ex-football player.
Actually no. I wasn't thinking it was used by Nationalist groups in particularly the American Nazi party like one of the posters suggested, but it is in fact true. Remember, Google is your friend. OK, maybe Duck Duck Go is more your speed... https://www.fastcompany.com/90372121...oss-flag-kicks
What a stupid move by Ducey! 500 jobs lost if they move. The flag in question is one embraced and carried by right wing extremists as well as part of American history. Ducey should be better informed and even then, why wade into this? I thought he had more sense than that.
The nerve of the governor, depriving Americans of potential jobs to punish an American company for being responsive to American consumers.
Interesting how this little detail is being overlooked.
