Nike stock closes at all time high.

[kimblebee]

Kaepernick isn't good enough to make an NFL team (if he was, someone would have picked him up) so he has to make money somewhere.

If he wins his court case and it is proven that the league conspired to keep him out would you change your position?

That he wasn't good? Because he was sucking when he left the 49ers.

From a stock market POV the board, in general, is flying high..perhaps too high.
I switched my portfolio around a bit because I think it's about time for a bear market.

If it makes you feel better to think that, then so be it.

If he wasn't good enough,he would have never been on a field or in uniform.

If you're still wondering why players kneel, take a look at the case Dallas. The idiot cop shot and killed an unarmed black man when she "mistakenly" entered his apartment.p

Personally have never seen the man play ball so can’t really comment to that but as for the rest, no.

It’s about selling a product. If Nike didn’t think using CK would sell their product, they would have never used him regardless of what he believes in or stands for.

 

[Imzadi]

He was good, then he wasn't

He was actually playing on a team, on the field at the time he started kneeling. That's how everyone found out he was kneeling. The facts don't support your statement.

That situation is worse than that. TMZ Live interviewed the victim's attorney yesterday. Right after the man was shot, the police got a search warrant, for this unarmed, innocent stranger, who was in his own home, specifically to look ONLY for drug paraphernalia of any kind - just to besmirch this victim & his reputation, and allege the shooting is now justified. (Search warrants need to be listed very specifically, as the searches can only be looking for that and THIS, of a million things they could have asked to search for, was what they asked for.) They found a small amount of marijuana & paraphernalia. It was listed in the list after the search warrant. . . which was released to the press. One newspaper made THAT the headline, NOT that this man died innocently, in the privacy of his own home.

The public doesn't know if the marijuana was the victim's OR the female police officer who shot him, as instead of being quarantined away from the crime scene, she was allowed to walk through the area several times. So she, in essence, corrupted the crime scene. And she may have planted the marijuana herself to make HIM look bad. As in, "Yes, I shot him, turns out, he deserved it after all."

EDITED To Add: Other facts which may not be known: All the doors in that building have an "Auto shut" spring mechanism. So the door couldn't have been accidentally or on purpose ajar, without being propped open with something. Inside Edition, a TV tabloid show, was allowed into the victim's apartment and the door was opened & let go of a few times to show, it SLAMS shut on it's own.

Back to the TMZ Live interview with the victim's (family) attorney, he said there are reports that the neighbors allege they heard banging on the door right before the shooting and shouting, "Let me in!"

Nike does make a quality product. I have hard to fit feet and they make a specific model that fits like a glove and is almost indestructible.

I might choose to boycott something like a chicken sandwich (I don't though) - you can get chicken sandwiches anywhere. But being able to walk in comfort is priceless.

To those putting down Nike & thinking there will be a demise in the future have you SEEN the full 2 min new ad? It's FANTASTIC. Very inspiring. There is not a single actor in the ad. Everyone in it are REAL athletes who accomplished much. Even the one that lost 120 lbs, to win the Iron Man, after beating a brain tumor. And there is a lot of diversity in the ad. And athletes coming from all walks of life& situations.

Nike's new ad campaign & direction isn't targeting old fogies in an old establishment. Nike is targeting the millennials & Gen Z-ers. They are targeting the future.

I agree. I admit that I am not on team Kap and don't think he was the best choice to be the "spokesman" of Nike's newest campaign but the entire ad and campaign itself is great, and I love the message. It is not about what some people seem to think it is.
I have asked a few people if they have seen it, and they haven't all they saw was the still shot of Kap and that was all they needed to see to form their opinion and decide they will never buy Nike again. Some people aren't willing to see beyond that and remain ignorant.
The day after it came out I took my ds shopping for school clothes and sneakers and he got Nikes, like he has for years.

That he was purposely being blacklisted. You can’t tell me that every qb that’s played since he was cut is better than him..

The motive for the death in Dallas is alllllllllll over the place and I'm hopeful it is cleared up as soon as possible. So much of it makes no sense.

A friend of mine was shot and killed by the Orange County Florida Sherrifs office. The police mistakenly rammed his door down in the middle of the night looking for a drug dealer. He came out of his bedroom an was shot multiple times. I helped his father clean up. The hallway, his bedroom and bed itself looked like Swiss cheese. Lots of blood. He was white. Things happen. It's sad. Police have a tough job.

They do not know what motivated the killing so I'm not going into the black or white side issue at this point; neither is the victim's father.
The biggest point in my mind is how you can be in your home and die violently with little to no provocation.

I hope your friend's family was properly recompensed for such an egregious error . You have a stronger stomach than me as there is no way I'm cleaning up a crime scene. They have companies that specialise in doing that.

The woman was not doing her job when she shot that young man.

The idiot woman claims that she thought she had entered her apartment(the fact that she lives on a different floor and doesn't have a red doormat in front of her door should be ignored)and thought the young man was an intruder.

Clearly she shouldn't be allowed to carry a loaded weapon. Was she drunk? And that is a serious question.

I'm sorry for your loss. But, that incident isn't quite the same. Those officers were on an assignment, looking for someone, and a mistake was made. To bring it up diminishes what happened in THIS case. (I'm not a cop basher. I LOVE the majority of my NYPD cops, (the ones who aren't doing police brutality, or now, having a prostitution ring. The good ones keep us safe from terrorism and other crimes. One of the reason terrorism has now moved to other cities is because they are so good at what they do.)

This incident, the female cop was off duty and supposedly had no reason to enter this man's home.

I edited my previous post to add: Other facts which may not be known: All the doors in that building have an "Auto shut" spring mechanism. So the door couldn't have been accidentally or on purpose ajar, without being propped open with something. Inside Edition, a TV tabloid show, was allowed into the victim's apartment and the door was opened & let go of a few times to show, it SLAMS shut on it's own.

Back to the TMZ Live interview with the victim's (family) attorney, he said there are reports that the neighbors allege they heard banging on the door right before the shooting and shouting, "Let me in!"

I have to wonder if the man, her upstairs neighbor, wasn't being too loud. (I had an upstairs neighbor who used to come home at 2am, clomping in high heels. I could hear them through my ceiling. ) The officer comes home from work, just wanting peace & quiet, and went upstairs to tell him to be more quiet. When he wouldn't answer his door, and she knew he was up there, she started banging on the door. They got into a heated exchange and that's when she shot him. Instead of just saying it was an accident in that way, she concocted this ludicrous story of mistaken apartment, hoping to get off?

Both incidents are tragic and bringing up the pp’s experience does not diminish anything.

Either the woman shot the man because she was a cop and suspected him of wrong doing (thought he was in her apartment)—in which case it would be similar to the pp’s experience, or it had nothing to do with her being a cop and they knew each other, she was angry at him or some other reason.

If it has nothing to do with her being a cop, then it also has nothing to do with CK and why he kneels or with Nike.

I think the two of them were in involved and she was more into the relationship than he was. Crime of passion

There's no way in the world a sane, sober police officer didn't know that she wasn't in her own home.

I find it interesting that you care to spend so much time trying to tear him down. I can assure you that Mr. Kaepernick gives not one thought about your opinion of his athletic ability. He and his bank account are living it up and making history. His name in the encycopledia will tell his story, of how he started a movement against injustice. He will be remembered

She had made previous noise complaints against him. I think she was exhausted and cranky and thought he was being loud, so she went up to confront him. Due to her power trip, she got aggressive and shot him in the heat of things. I don't believe her presence in his apartment was accidental. I think she went up there with every intention to confront him. I'd be interested to know what level of the garage the Rangers found her car on.
