The shoe is, clearly, relevant. Nike is, clearly, relevant. Both more so due to this bit of advertising (and the role of Useful Idiot).

I simply laid out what went down. You called that a lie due to some argument you're fighting in your head that I don't give a shit about. NONE of what I said wasn't true and you know that.

Nike [and the shoe] is simply a vessel, an avatar for the social dynamic.

If Nike had held firm on releasing the shoe and the failed QB had pressed his case through other media/communication outlets, and the media coverage and presidential candidate approval of the notion of the white supremacy of Betsy Ross had played out similarly, people would still be 'mad' at the ill-informed fomenting of discord.

You're not interested in the 'argument I'm having in my head' because it accurately reflects the thought people are putting into their discontent and you prefer your narrative of the knee-jerk unthinking useful idiot who just hears that a shoe is pulled from the market and flies into a blind rage.

For some odd reason, PG has been consumed about how he thinks others should feel about this.

Nike stock up since latest Kaepernick controversy
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...k-controversy/

Controversy sells. It also boosts stock price.

Last September, Nike aligned with Colin Kaepernick. The naysayers predicted a cratering of the company’s stock price. And instead it went up.

Earlier this week, Kaepernick persuaded Nike to not proceed with a shoe that would have included the Betsy Ross flag, a symbol that is regarded by some as too strong of a link to America’s history of slavery. The naysayers once again predicted a cratering of the company’s stock prices. And, once again, it went up.

As noted by TMZ.com, Nike’s stock closed Friday at $86.62, a two-percent increase since Tuesday. The bump in stock price added $3 billion in value to the company.

Yes, that's why I said what I just quoted.

Sounds like you have an issue with marketing and capitalism. It's what every company tries to do. Create interest in their brand to increase valuation of their company. No reason to be offended by their legal business efforts.

What is excessive? How is this at the expense of Americans? Did the taxpayer pay for the making of the shoes? I'm not really following your reasoning.

I wish Kaepernick would raise a little protest against hard red winter wheat, as the price sucks right now!

It has to be something that goes against the “man.”

Well his representation for your cause can be bought. I hear it is quite expensive though

Kaep has accomplished one thing. He'll never be selected to be host, marshall, starter or anything connected to the Coca Cola 400 in Daytona.
