I was just reading about this really moronic business decision of Nike deciding to use Colin Kapernick as their official spokesperson.<\/p>\n
What a Bonehead move for a Multi-Billion Dollar Company to gamble their PR on a person who obviously has ZERO<\/strong> Respect for Traditional American Values.<\/p>\n Did they not learn from the NFL’s severe drop in popularity that folks do not like their sports mixed with politics?<\/p>\n Let’s flashback to Nike’s heyday in the nineties when they used Michael Jordan as their spokesperson. Awesome decision. Jordan was a superior athlete with a solid off-the-court reputation and as far as politics, what politics? It never entered into that picture! So, what changed from the 90’s to now? Two words: SOCIAL MEDIA.<\/strong><\/p>\n Here we have yet again an example of a business trying to let Social Media (run by the Silicon Valley Marxist Club) dictate it’s business practices. This is getting to be a sad cautionary tale in the Sports World, where the management is deciding to abandon their CORE<\/strong> customer base (Men over the age of 30 who are mostly conservative\/libertarian or apolitical) in favor of the younger 20 something brainless SJW crowd.\u00a0 ESPN did the same thing a few years ago when they decided to go from a purely sports driven network to a network that makes liberal political statements because, why not, most all the Professional Athletes are doing it too.<\/p>\n When are businesses going to learn that when they abandon and alienate their\u00a0CORE<\/strong> Customer base, they are going pay the price in spades? Dick’s Sporting Goods ring a bell? Chapter 9 anybody?<\/p>\n Americans DO NOT<\/strong> want their Sports Politicized, period, which is why I stopped watching Professional Sports altogether when all this kneeling non-sense started.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was just reading about this really moronic business decision of Nike deciding to use Colin Kapernick as their official spokesperson.
