Nike shares fall as backlash erupts

Nike up $.20 in after hours trading. Dividend has been declared, recorded today, payable on 10/1

I doubt they'll change the dividend in the next quarter, and as has been mentioned, the price will be back in a day or two. Those who dumped the stock out of principle, can enjoy the videos of people burning sneakers. Nike is up 30% for the year, and will be fine.

You assume people dump stocks on principle. I assume the market does not like controversy regardless of what side the investor is on in it.
 
White people will boycott Nike for a Black man standing up to racism, but they won't boycott the catholic church for fucking their kids. '

I swear, if any of the people I know are angry, upset, bothered, perplexed or any other negative emotion about Nike's recent campaign, just remove yourself from my life. Go quietly (or don't) but GO! If we still have people unclear as to why Kap sacrificed his career for a bigger cause, you don't understand the struggle, therefore, you don't understand me.

Oh and how about you donate those Nike's to a homeless Vet you care to claim so much about in stead of setting them on fire......idiots!

I am surprised actually that members of the pro-Kremlin, pro-Putin, pro-Russian collusion party is complaining about someone else's alleged lack of patriotism.

One would think colluding with Russian State Intelligence services is less patriotic than protesting police brutality.
 
I woke today to find out that the Raiders are still the only team that traded their best player away.

SMH!
 
Why did Nike choose Kaepernick?
They did the research and found that African Americans outnumber radicalized right wing backwoods hillbillies 100:1.

Nike has nothing to worry about.

I'd hardly call a 2.6 pt drop a major backlash. They'll probably earn that back by the EOD....maybe tomorrow. It's funny as hell how bent out of shape y'all get over this sillyness. Oh No! Nike is sponsoring a black athlete who protest police abuse of blacks. Wow! Imagine that! LOL LOL LOL
I was thinking of changing my Avatar to Kap but if I did that the smell of urine from all you whiners, who don't have the first fucking clue what freedom and liberty mean, would be intolerable! LOL LOL LOL
The funny part was I didn't really agree with Kap until y'all start pissing your self that a black athlete actually practices his rights!! Shades of Mohamed Ali! LOL LOL LOL

Even a racist tard like StarDumb can probably interpret a graph:

I can't debate that mish -mash where you tie police violence into "a record of playing politics, hiding behind the flag and pulling the faux patriotism card"..

also that type of unfocused "spin" as you call it ( messaging) is what leaves me scratching my head as to what the latest complaint du jour is

I've come up with some good ideas in terms of police shooting, like mandatory review by a states atty
and not just reliance on citizens review boards or Internal Affairs.

But those ideas get lost in the noise created by the kneeling. It's dramatic but unfocused, and without solutions.
It mars the anthem which is one of the very few ceremonies where we all stand as Americans -
which has an intrinsic value itself

Well it ain’t Kap who is making the noise. He’s been very clear.

Yeah...

“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”

He accuses the "country" of oppression. He's a lying asshole.

Exactly....and his new "tag line"....sounds like he wants his own little gang...He, if you believe in something throw everything away that matters...sacrifice everything...no prob....
 
Some of you all have this uncanny ability to read and hear what you want despite the relentless repeating of the actual message. :Googler:

"if you believe in something throw everything away that matters..." Does that include family, friends and country? Apparently it does...
 
What is the "actual" "message"? He "believed" something to be true and sacrificed his career.-and "everything".. Of course, he was in a position to do that and really did not sacrifice everything. So, his tag line, or whatever it is, is potentially pretty damaging...
How will that work out if if a young man or young lady decides they believe in something enough to "sacrifice everything"... I won't be supporting or encouraging a message like that any time soon...

the kneeling draws attention but is now a distraction without a solution.
I noticed talking to Trump was nixed, and the new NFL policy is what exactly?

It's a constant protest that does not advance a solution - just more noise

I agree. And when sales are shown to be fine, Nike stock will normalize.
