Trump targets Nike over new Kaepernick ad

Nike makes a big move by tapping former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick as one of the faces of Nike's 30th anniversary commemoration of its iconic "Just Do It" slogan.

If your going to burn in protest please rethink this and give your items to a homeless shelter.

Why is this draft dodger so patriotic all of a sudden? Who you fooling Donny?

[robhip]

Kaepernick, I'm a Vet and I know you did this to protest injustice and I knell with you.

Nike's sale went up 31% yesterday and their stock is at the same rate before Collins ad. Trump and his goons are disappointed.

I support a persons right to protest. Especially in such a non violent way. People act like he's flipping the bird at the flag. Bravo to Nike for taking a stand.

I'm definitely buying some Nikes now.

Why not give the Nike gear to the homeless instead of burning it?

[WillNewcomb]

One aspect of the Nike ad that no-one is talking about: the visuals are ALL about inclusivity (not about Kaepernick). Remember that Nike is a WORLD-wide brand so it's message is far bigger than American 'football'.

Boycott news, boycott entertainment, boycott restaurants, boycott clothes, boycott technology, boycott social media....
No wonder Trumpets are constantly grumpy. They're soon all out of things to do, eat or wear.

Unsportsmanlike like conduct on #45 . 15 yard penalty. In addition, he is ejected from the White House for taunting.

You know what's really disrespectful to our military and veterans? Insulting gold star families, insulting our NATO allies, and behaving like a petulant brat and refusing to apologize for saying a POW isn't a war hero...and then refusing to release a WH statement about his death and thanking him for his sacrifice, and raising the WH flag to full staff in defiance. Also, if you care so much about our flag, you should have condemned those who embrace the confederate flag and Nazi flag last year.

Nike against Trump?
I'll put my money on nike any day.

[sassulusmagnus]

Nike is an international company. America is not the center of the world. Racism is a problem in America. Kneeling is a sign of respect. The protest was respectful.

Next pair of running shoes will be Nike

The POTUS has no business saying anything about this. Trump should spend more time on the job that he was elected to do.

[djackson]

Kaepernick is protesting police brutality. Old men do not wear Nikes

[ladygirl]

Some people are so stupid that they will burn their own stuff ?!!... OMG... LMAO!!!

[mikesmith]

I Can't wait to go buy some more Nike products !

[exposethefoolery]

Look, say what you want. No president should be spending his time talking about a shoe company. You can't take on every company and/or individual that disagrees with you.

Where are his advisors??

If only Trump put the same effort into protecting our
