have to bring "color" into it. I dont think the color of skin is the reason because each person in that picture chose to buy Nike when most of their ads have a black athlete in them. So why did you decide to go there? Before saying you just posted a tweet....

you chose to post this tweet

They'll try and make EVERYTHING about race.

So what were y'all doing when that girl was killed by the Mexican immigrant?

I came out and said that shouldn't be politicized; however, from my recollection that was about an illegal murdering someone and not race.

He's not an immigrant. Immigrants are here legally.

Still had 37 of the top 50 programs viewed last year, I'd say they are doing fine. Well as fine as anyone else in terrestrial broadcasting is doing right now.

A look at NFL ratings compared to TV viewership as a whole

None of that really matters though. When the NFL puts it's media rights back on the table in 2022, you can bet your last penny these numbers are going up.

If my math is correct, based on Friday's data and today's close, Nike lost over $4 BILLION in market cap today. I wonder if the Nike marketing execs budgeted that into their decision making process??

Nike made a marketing decision based on their estimates of the impact. It remains to be seen how much the Kaepernick affiliation will cost them, and how much they will benefit.

Chick-fil-A obviously made a decision, and it appears that their primary market has supported it strongly. it will remain to be seen what happens to Nike.

By the time we know the impact, no one will care anymore.

Or are they packing their **** up. Shareholders will not stand for the short term losses without a clear road map of how this is going to be long term success

Too late. Dont care now.

I still have the same question: Has Kaepernick, or have any of the other kneeling protesters, actually done anything to try to defuse the situation? Anything? Any of them? I'm not aware of any, but maybe I don't know the whole story.

Law enforcement and legislative bodies have the power to defuse the situation. Kaepernick has neither the power, nor responsibility, to do so. His efforts, beyond the million dollars he has funneled into charities over the past 18 months, is to call attention to the inequalities that minorities face in America. Judging by the fact that we are now 10 pages deep into a thread about a Nike marketing decision on a yakity-yak sports board, I’d say Kaepernick is doing an outstanding job.

You were asking earlier whether he had actually done anything for the causes he speaks for, and I’m assuming you figured out how to use the Googly Box and discovered he does an incredible amount of community work. So now you’ve shifted your question. Go find out and report back.

How can the diffuse a situation that is based on a false narrative?

"Incredible amount of community work" =/= defusing this particular situation.

So I take it that's a no.
