Which is just as asinine as making this guy their spokesperson. If you don't want your Nikes out of protest, donate them to a homeless vet you claim to care about so much.
The Nike shoes are not of very great quality. I'd rather buy a new pair of New Balance or Adidas shoes and donate those to a homeless veteran. To whom, exactly, were you addressing the "you claim to care about" comment, by the way?

The 'you' was a general statement towards those who may burn or trash their shoes out of protest.

I've had the exact opposite results from Nike. They have lasted forever for me. (my current pair are probably 10 years old).

My husband is a marathon runner. He always wore Nike Pegasus shoes, but he noticed in recent years that the quality of the Pegasus model had declined substantially. He now wears Adidas. He also used to work for Nike and knows Phil Knight - and has absolutely no respect for him. Nike is not exactly the most ethical corporation in America, shall we say.

Doesn't "Charlie" make most Nike shoes?

Are Thursday night games on the low rated no one sees NFL network?

Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery would disagree with Nike about what "sacrifice" is.

"NFL's Kaepernick?" I'm pretty sure the NFL has made it clear they want nothing to do with this guy.

As for me:

Nike owns Converse. I happen to like the old-school Chuck style. But I'll be a monkey's uncle if I pay $50 for a pair of those things when I can get the same design at Dollar General for $5.

Buying a knockoff might just be the best way to get back at companies like this.

I didn't know that.  So, no more Converse for me.

So Kaprenick is now a shoe salesman...

Lady: " You've got a lot of nerve."
