Smart edgy move making a political stand The young generation understands the protests and are Nike's target customers Old conservatives simply don't understand the protests and are not Nike customers. Bottom line, the protests will continue, football will continue, conservative Texas will continue to fill their stadiums. A conservative boycott of football because of the protests will fail. The huge winner, Kaepernick of course. He's got the best deal ever for a football player Will never play another NFL game ever while still making millions No chance of CTE and making great money I see conservatives posting their destroyed Nike attire online due to a conservative boycott request News flash to conservatives, destroying your Nike attire you already paid Nike for is not a boycott ROTFL Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I business, edgy and political are rarely smart. We'll see. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | There is really too much to link to on this, but as of the time of this post, do a google search for "woodward book" and limit the results to the past 24 hours. 777 made a post on WOV with a couple of links. I am only going to make a few links, though - the conversation Trump had with Woodward on August 14th. Trump agreed to have the phone call recorded, and a transcript went to the Washington Post. Here is that https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/09/04/transcript-phone-call-between-president-trump-journalist-bob-woodward/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.6577fa83567d Since the Washington Post only allows so many free views a month, here is a CNN link that reports on that story: https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/04/politics/bob-woodward-donald-trump-phone-call/index.html I know I should add my own take on this, but I really don't know what to say. The book will probably be a best seller before the first official retail copies ship.

Nike has always been edgy and has always done well The prevailing view was that athletes are role models for children Not according to Nike and Sir Charles Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Nike stock down 3%. The left and right coasts won't care, but all those kids in the Midwest will, and the only difference between Nike and Adidos is the name. This will be Nike's New Coke moment.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
