Online polls are meaningless


So are many posts on online forums.

Doesn't stop people from participating.

Make your views known. Here a few Nike online polls


The problem is, only people who
feel strongly will participate. The
ones who don't care, won't. And
that's most of us. Never bought
Nike in my life.

Nike's Kaepernick Ad Has Cost The Company Over $4 Billion So Far

"This could be a problem - #BoycottNike is now the number 1 trending topic on Twitter in the US..."

The snowflake Left is puzzled.
It's Trump all over again. They
just don't get how the real
America thinks.

Sales its what's meaningful

Wore them as a kid. Never since. Not worth the extra money to support all their Team Nike payroll. Men over 30 should not wear athletic shoes except when doing athletic stuff.

NFL is down about 15% over the past few seasons. Gotta wonder how much they fall this year and what they blame it on?

I have 4 pairs of shoes. A dress pair
of slip on's, a pair of leather lace up's,
a pair of leather boots for winter,
leather sandals. Adult men who wear
athletic shoes look ridiculous.

Seinfeld always wears jeans, a sport
jacket, and a pair of Nike's. He looks
like an old guy trying to look hip.
In other words, ridiculous.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I was at my mother's house explaining shoes to her sister. Told her how Marilu Henner said she stores her shoes heel-to-toe so she can get a full look at them. Then it got to men's shoes. I explained I got the brown pair of dress shoes and the black pair. That's it. I keep one pair of good, daily, "brown shoes" or sneakers that are brown so do not look like sneakers but have the comfort. One pair of winter boots that might be 20 years old. Pair of flops for the rare trip on a boat but mostly to slip on for things like taking out the trash. Several pairs of demoted brown shoes that are for manly work around the house that will get paint or other crap on them before they are trashed.

Knew a guy had 20 or more pair of shoes. All sneakers. I said nuttin.

We will wait and see how sales are affected.

Today, "Wall Street" does not seem to like it.

Nike stock down 3.16%

and probably as a side effect Footlocker is down 1.95%

Nope
Even I don't buy Nike
Its kind of a status symbol like designer stores

Its pretty funny that conservatives are going bonkers over this.
I could care less who endorses what product. It does not influence me
Why do you even care about this? Do you buy a ton of Nikes's over priced gear?
