I don't know how much money Nike was planning on making off their commercial campaign with Kaepernick, but they lost close to $4.2 billion dollars in market capital on September 4th over the backlash.
Nike sees Kaepernick as a role model, yet he wore socks that depicted police officers as pigs. It also led to players putting their fists in the air depicting black power. If white athletes were to do something like this showing “white power,” Democrats and the mainstream media would become livid. Would Nike allow one of these athletes to be part of their ad campaign? It’s a terrible double-standard started by Kaepernick and Nike.
Adidas is the number one shoe manufacturing company while Nike is the 19th. I guess that's why they threw a crazy hell Mary with Kaepernick. I'm sick and tired of liberal companies playing in politics instead of focusing on selling their products and/or services. I will never again own a pair of Nike shoes.
By the way, most of Nike's factories are in Asia, including Indonesia, China, Taiwan, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Pakistan, Philippines, and Malaysia so if we all pitch in and boycott, it will mostly affect children working in countries outside of the U.S.
