Lucius Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 16 hours ago, Grailknight said: Then he stated that he doesn't think people should be allowed to hold protests. WT Holy F?!?! It's almost like he didn't pay attention when he took the oath of office to that part where he has to protect the Constitution and that First Amendment thing. Like they only apply to the people on his side. That's hardly unique to Trump. It's lamentably common in the US for elected officials to seem ignorant of the Constitution, especially of the Bill of Rights. Lucius Alexander I have the right to a palindromedary tagline, even if that's not in the constitution. TrickstaPriest and archer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sociotard Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I'd add that they should really be burned in some sort of fume hood. I did burn a pair of shoes once, and it was not pleasant. TrickstaPriest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Yeah, with all the polymers used in making a pair of athletic shoes, adequate ventilation would certainly be necessary to burning them safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be antagonistic but, based on what? IMO the Burn Nike protests are car alarms in the parking lot of life...massively more noisy than numbers say they should be. Trump doesn't like it? Considering his current ratings, there's no better support you can ask for than his condemnation. NFL Live today was also saying that the ad is strongly resonating with younger demographics...which isn't surprising. So ok, maybe there's some short-term loss, but long-term, this is expected to be highly successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 The protest was dumb, but incredibly, the protests of the protest are even dumberer. Only Nike® has salvaged anything like success from the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ternaugh Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Nike's sales have increased by 31% from Sunday through Tuesday of Labor Day Weekend this year. This easily beats last years 17% increase for the same period. They've also received an estimated $43 million value in media exposure. http://fortune.com/2018/09/07/nike-colin-kaepernick-sales/ Doc Shadow and RDU Neil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csyphrett Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 If Kalpernick wins his lawsuit, he might never have to play football again. He's heading to trial at the edge of discovery. All he has to prove is that the team owners got together to say they didn't want him to play for their teams. CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grailknight Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 He already doesn't have to play again. He's made over 10 million just from football and who knows how much from endorsements. As long as he doesn't waste it he's set for life.

His lawsuit is going to chew some of that up unless he wins. CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, some kids will have problems but that in itself isn't sufficient reason to shut down the exercise. To me that's a head-in-the-sand argument.

CES Even if I had no other reason, I am leery of him winning that. I fear, it'll give every clubhouse cancer who gets cut when their conduct finally becomes too much, the go ahead to sue their league.
