wiffleball 4,631 Posted September 20, 2018 Has anybody mentioned the huge contract Nike and the NFL are signatories in? I think Nike is about as socially conscious as Mel Gibson for Christ's sake.

Cruzer 1,992 Posted September 20, 2018 Has anybody mentioned the huge contract Nike and the NFL are signatories in? I think Nike is about as socially conscious as Mel Gibson for Christ's sake. Like every other Corporation it's all about the shareholders. In case most forgot, Nike has a deal with the NFL - signed thru 2028. The Nike Swoosh will be visible and on full display for each and every uniform. It will be interesting to see how far the hypocrisy extends on this. It will be interesting to see how many of those burning Nike gear in effigy, and how many of those up in arms - still tune in to watch the NFL... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,587 Posted September 20, 2018 Cheaper to pay Kaepernick so no one brings up their slave labor. It's a sham and a cover up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,587 Posted September 20, 2018 Nike is just deflecting from the fact that they are the biggest users of slave labor on the planet.

cbfalcon 824 Posted September 21, 2018 How are sales? Stock price is up. Online sales are up. We dont have info yet on brick and mortar, so for now you should just claim those are the only numbers that count. Then when those numbers come in, you can find shift focus and find a consumer poll or opinion article that indicate whats REALLY going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, very reasonable to question the authenticity. That being said - when the tax cuts hit, and corporations got surpluses of money - they too started buying back their own stock....in droves in fact... When stocks reflected this, and the market boomed - nobody bothered to question the authenticity then. They were too busy dancing in the streets, celebrating MAGA and the great economy savior......
