I am not watching the NFL nor do I intend to anytime in the near future(I have a real problem with over paid ball players think that their opinions really matter). However I would be hard pressed to truly express the visceral anger I had when I saw that ad with those words. The words "How dare they." don't even begin to touch my anger. If I never even see a nike product again it won't hurt my feelings. I almost wish someone would try and tell me that "Oh they don't mean to disparage our Vets." It might be fun for someone at a distance to watch but I wouldn't bet on it. I was just at my Adjutant Generals building to turn in some paperwork for my retirement and in the foyer there are plaques/posters hanging in there of the SC National Guard members who have been killed in the war on terrorism. Some of them have been in units I have been in and a few I have served closely with. Even as I write this it brings tears to my eyes and my BP is going way up. Most of these players don't have a clue what they are really doing/protesting and I think they are the ones I really don't like because they are just doing it for the publicity not any kind of honor/cause. I may respect those who truly have a cause even if I don't agree with them at least they are honest about what they are protesting. <br />I need to have a glass of Knob Creek smoked maple whiskey to take the edge off.<br /><br />John25mmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07767942248288087446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-7964098593392476602018-09-05T19:48:58.679-05:002018-09-05T19:48:58.679-05:00Something you have never seen before?

Remember this whole charade has nothing to do with the judge himself. It's all about posturing for the rabid Dim base and deep-pocketed donors. How they can demand delays to read documentation when they're already on the record stating their intentions to vote no just escapes logic. <br /><br />As far as Nike is concerned, it is troubling to me that a company has a business model to intentionally discourage a subset of customers. It just doesn't make sense. If I were a shareholder (and I seriously hope I'm not), that would be a sign that this company doesn't want me as an owner. It's baffling.

I'm thinking this is not going to be Nike's most brilliant marketing move, and Colon Crapperdick will be looking for work again soon. Leastways, I hope so.<br /><br />I actually like the fit of Levi jeans a lot, but as Geoff King pointed out, they are NOT worth the money.<br /><br />I repeat myself, why in the world are companies (and politicians for that matter) so willing to just write off half the population.

But I assume it was the logical progression from formerly getting our collective conscious from Hollywood and the music industry.<br /><br />Clearly, Nike has made a carefully calculated business decision. They certainly know that making Kaepernick the face of their company is going to annoy-to-enrage <i>the deplorables</i>. But they also have an army of MBAs with spreadsheets showing that <i>the deplorables</i> don't really buy all that much overpriced Nike stuff. The real money is with the younger crowd more concerned about empty virtue signalling and appearing hip and correct. Also, Nike has long-term contracts locked in with countless sports teams, events and venues that wouldn't dare cancel those contracts over this. Imagine the optics; <i>"University of Non-Political Correctness cuts association with Nike over their employment of civil rights activist hero."</i> Not going to happen.<br /><br />Cynical, but that's the game their playing. And they're happy to take a short-term 3% hit on their market cap for the long-term strategy. Will it work out? We'll have to revisit this in a year to see if it did.<br /><br />Clearly, this is not without risk. As many companies have learned over recent decades, it's very dangerous to tie your company's image to a single individual. (Think "Steven" from Dell or Bill Cosby to Jello, or the Democrats to the Clintons. <a href="http://www.teachmeteamwork.com/teachmeteamwork/2006/02/bode_miller_sho.html" rel="nofollow">Nike got bit big time when they went all-in with downhill skier Body Miller at the 2006 Olympics which was a big, expensive, embarrassing dud</a>) It's even more dangerous when that individual is less than intelligent, stable, or has a political agenda. It's hard to imagine today, but at some point Kaepernick could say or do something that could really come back to bite Nike. Nike is betting that what Kaepernick really believes in and won't be interested in sacrificing is his Nike paycheck.<br /><br />In the meantime, we'll just have to enjoy <a href="https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/407/367/b24.png" rel="nofollow">the memefest that's taking place</a>. Humor pointing out the absurdity of this is the best weapon, and probably the only weapon we have.<br /><br /><b>And I absolutely love your point about Nike's turd-world sweatshop workers ability to "take a knee" for anything other than a beating.</b> I'm waiting for someone in the media to ask Kaepernick about that. But I'm not holding my breath.<br /><br />Decades ago when Doonesbury was at least interesting if not funny, <a href="http://www.oocities.org/athens/acropolis/5232/db970623.gif" rel="nofollow">Garry Trudeau was relentless with Nike</a>. Now that he's no more than a tool for the far-left who has long since lost interest in speaking "truth to power", dare I hope for him to mock both Nike & Kaepernick. I probably shouldn't.John the Econnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-77735609782924748842018-09-05T10:53:13.846-05:002018-09-05T10:53:13.846-05:00The Kavanaugh Beclownment: Kavanaugh's confir...<b>The Kavanaugh Beclownment:</b> Kavanaugh's confirmation is inevitable, but we really shouldn't be surprised by the circus and sideshows being put on by the left. After all, they need to keep their base energized for the mid-terms.<br /><br />I especially like the <i>"Handsmaid Tale"</i> ladies in the gallery. Shouldn't they have been beaten for showing up unescorted? (Or am I confusing religions?)<br /><br />But there's another more cynical strategy going on here: To discourage any sane individual from ever considering aspirations to be on the Supreme Court, or to hold any high office. What sane person would want to put themselves, their families and loved ones, friends, favorite local dining establishments or dry cleaners through what is now standard procedural punishment? This is why it's going to get harder and harder to get good, honest, quality people to fill these jobs.John the Econnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-47504610548531380202018-09-05T10:40:22.356-05:002018-09-05T10:40:22.356-05:00Reminiscent of the Calhoun caning of Brooks in 185...Reminiscent of the Calhoun caning of Brooks in 1856... tempers are flaring, civilities are out the window and war is imminent.<br /><br />About time for America's next enema.Alejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10750000197818813783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-13893267890398376612018-09-05T10:33:39.056-05:002018-09-05T10:33:39.056-05:00Do those disgusting, useful idiots being paid to d...Do those disgusting, useful idiots being paid to disrupt the Senate hearings on Kavanaugh really think they are adults?
