Remind us why Nike is a great company that needs to be cheered? Arent they literally a business that abuses and oppresses minorities who make some of their items?

It' s hilarious how, any time a story comes out that a lotta nitwits around don't agree with, they question the source and/or the story itself-but, of course, they lap up all the "deep state" bullshit like a hungry dog.

Perhaps you explain to me how separating children from their parents at the border-even parents are legally seeking asylum-is a good thing, as opposed to sweating about increased profits for a sneaker company?

Of course not. You’re telling me they’ve contacted every single Nike retailer on the planet and received accurate data in two weeks to determine “Yes, these $6B in new sales would not have happened had it not been for the ad!” Horseshit.

And finch, if you seriously believe the stock price of a company with a market cap the size of Nike’s would be influenced by an ad like that...as if that’s the magic bullet investors have been waiting for all along...why, I’d suggest you’re a fucking regarded pauper with zero understanding of how markets function. Oh, wait...that’s precisely what you are.

They didn't really champion his cause at all though.

Basically just pimped him out to sell a few sneakers. Not like he is kneeling in the commercial or they got pictures of protests in it.

Usually when you break the law, you get separated from your kids.

In all, Nike has given $424,000 to the GOP compared to $122,000 to Democrats. The findings follow a recent trend showing Nike has donated more to Republicans than Democrats in every election cycle since 2010

More profits from NIKE = More donations to Republicans. Keep the money rolling in.

Learn how to read, you brain dead putz, I specifically mentioned "...even parents who are legally seeking asylum..." and, even for those who WEREN'T here legally, I guess it slipped your attention that the courts ruled that they had to be reunited with their parents, which, months later, scumbag ICE hasn't fully complied with. Would you care to revise your bullshit statement, Genius?

PatsFan1283 · Sep 23, 2018

Dafinich you're for open borders, who are you kidding?

Legal asylum was a small part of that ordeal. It was mostly border crossers.
