To commemorate the 30th anniversary of their infamous "Just Do It!" campaign, Nike announced Colin Kaepernick as the face of their new promotional push. With the easily mock-able slogan "believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything," Nike has tied itself to the anti-police, pro-communist dictator cultural figure and already seen negative movement in their overall stock price.

The Outlash is some real Bullshit, and people are showing their real colours.
Nike have made a big mistake to mix the insanity of Social Justice with their product, this will I am pretty sure backfire on them ! So yeah, lets just let them " JUST DO IT ! " Love your great work Stephan and I am so pleased to see you posting to our platfrom and great but new community of Steem Blockchain ! So Welcome to you Sir and Steem On !! )
I wish I had been a Nike fan, or even occasional consumer of Nike products, so I could cut them off financially after this stunt. As it stands now, I don't think that I have purchased anything from Nike in over twenty, perhaps 30 years, aside from the occasional sale or impulse purchase.
What dusts my doilies in this whole NFL - Kaepernick affair is years ago the NFL excoriated Rush Limbaugh when he commented on the radio that he was thinking about purchasing a stake in an NFL team. The NFL, the league, the owners, everyone unanimously rose up and said "no rush!" Oh not because of his politics, per se, but just that he is political at all, and he will bring bad press. Fast forward 10 years or so and what do we have? Kaepernick and the NFL going completely and 100% political. Hypocrisy.
So like the Nike situation, I have been unable to really boycott the NFL because my support of the NFL went out the window for the most part, when they pulled the Limbaugh stunt 10 years ago.
Like so many companies before them, Nike seemingly aren't able to comprehend that at least 40% of their customers aren't aligned with their political views. They think it is clever marketing but it really isn't.
