“American Sniper” Widow Delivers BRUTAL Message To Nike After Kaepernick Partnership
September 5, 2018 Chuck Callesto


Taya Kyle widow of American Sniper Chris Kyle who says she loves Nike’s gear, sent a dose of reality to the apparel manufacturing giant yesterday. Kyle took to Facebook to lay it out. She opened by saying:

Nike, I love your gear, but you exhaust my spirit on this one. Your new ad with Colin Kapernick, I get the message, but that sacrificing everything thing…. It just doesn’t play out here. Sacrificing what exactly? A career?

Why I'm boycotting Nike: Get woke and go broke

I'm not going to support a sports company that puts politics above sports.

The American footwear company Nike made the disastrous decision to pay Colin Kaepernick millions of dollars a year to be a spokesperson for their "Just Do It" advertising campaign.

The company's new tag line for Kaepernick is: "Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything."

By "sacrificing everything," evidently Nike means "make millions of dollars more a year to appear in an advertising campaign than you would make as a back-up quarterback in the NFL." Boy, has Kaepernick ever sacrificed!

According to Yahoo Sports, he gets his own branded shoe line, shirts, jerseys and specific Kaepernick apparel. He will be paid a comparable amount to the best NFL players signed to Nike deals, millions a year.

Whereas in the past Nike signed and paid the best athletes in their sports — Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Andre Agassi, Bo Jackson, Serena Williams —  now the company is signing a former athlete who is infamous for his politics.
Nike uses politics as a selling point

In so doing Nike has made the decision to forswear athletic dominance and instead embrace politics as its new selling point. Nike, the same company dealing with a discrimination lawsuit, is now the latest company to get woke.  ...  More at USA Today

Brutal? This isn't brutal. Saying that your spirit is exhausted because of an ad campaign is about as lame as it gets.

These clickbait titles are full out bullshit. They should be banned from the site just because they are so damn lame and stupid.

Let's get real here. Blacks buy a LOT of sneaks,and Nike wants to sell shoes. So Nike is telling two lies in one statement. They don't admire Kaepernick and care less than nothing about free speech. What they care about is selling sneakers to blacks.

That doesn't appear to be a sustainable business plan in the long run.  If I were Nike I'd be looking for a way to cultivate the 'Browns". There are more of them.  "Waders" buy shoes too.

True,but the homies set the styling trends for teenage wannabe thugs,so there are an awful lot of suburban white boys wanting to dress like a Crip so they can pose as tough guys.

The truth is all those gangbangers are punks unless it's of them against 1 lone cracka. The wannabe punks don't understand this,though.  They still think that if they wear their pants with the belt buckles around their knees,this means they are tough.
