Well, yeah. But he’s not posting threads about you at the GC. It’s just amazing how triggered you guys are over nothing.

My biggest prob with Kap is the false narrative police shooting BS. That directly affects me and people close to me. I wouldnt call that nothing.  If he wants to kneel, go ahead.

That's his decision, my decision is to project my ideas as he does, we each have the right to do so....or are you suggesting otherwise?

See personally, I find that distasteful. She's supposed to be there for the country. Her teammates. Not drawing attention to whatever cause that may be.

And yeah. She was right. But more than her cause, she attracted attention to herself. As she likely intended. Just another member of the look at me Instagram generation.

If I was one of her teammates, I'd be pissed. 

She's loved by her teammates. And she's served to bring more attention to the team. National news. Political networks. She even has the bigots watching. Even if they're hoping they lose.

I hope they win, I hope she fares well, I will her no ill will...even if I think she is rather stupid in her positions.   Someone being stupid is not enough reason to dislike them.....stupidity is far more common than intelligence....that is why we see the prisons overflowing, people living in poverty etc

I've just never felt superior enough to anyone to pretend that I know more about their situation than they do.

But there will be instances where you will, might not be true for all instances, but knowledge does not immediately equate to wisdom.  A person can certainly claim they are suffering because of racism, but that is not automatically true, it requires a more thorough analysis.....

You might go to a doctor and insist that you have to get your appendix removed because of the searing pain in your side, but no matter how much you feel it to be true....your feelings are not the final word on it....

Umm, there are literally posters here who wished she'd tear both ACLs.  Because she knelt. Others hoping the USA loses. LOL Triggered indeed.

Probably zero.  Like every other day. Your reading comprehension screw-ups and then failed 'gotcha' attempts are your failings, not mine. You should probably stalk someone who isn't twice as smart as you.

That you're referring to anyone as "toothless" shows your feeling of superiority over them, dummy.  Imagine that, a weekend DJ who spends all day on message boreds feeling superior to anyone.

Now, finish reading the sentence I typed where I started that I never felt superior enough....

You're getting warmer. Soon, you're going to realize that you're a bumbling idiot. Although you won't admit it.

Except that you do and you did every time you referred to anyone as "toothless", which is a point so obvious only a mongoloid would deny it.

The sneaker company made the decision to enter the social justice warrior arena, this is how that arena works....so far it seems to have worked for them, not sure anyone should feel sorry for them.  In the end being divisive would seem to be a bad way to go, but if they can make a buck they will do whatever it takes...

Nike's marketing team decided to use the lowest-IQ 40% of the population to get free promotion for it's company. They fall for it every single time.

Newbie doesn't feel superior to anyone. Just the opposite actually. That's the reason for the virtue signaling and obsession on other people's appearance.  He's sad inside.

I didn't see a compliment on your appearance in that post.  Did my reading comprehension problem rub off on you or something?  He essentially said you have an inferiority complex and yet you thanked him.

He implied that I'm inferior to others in many ways, so I'm obsessed to other people's appearance because appearance is obviously where I'm perfect.  I can live with that.

It's not an easy thing to capitalize on. A huge percentage of athleticwear/sneakers are bought by African americans. I don't think any of these companies want to make a stand as the official sneaker of cranky middle-aged white guys.
