I wonder if Nike will roll out some socks with pigs in police uniforms?

Trump's comments on the thing is very unTrumplike: “As much as I disagree with the Colin Kaepernick endorsement, in another way — I mean, I wouldn’t have done it,” Trump said. “In another way, it is what this country is all about, that you have certain freedoms to do things that other people think you shouldn’t do, but I personally am on a different side of it.” ![]() ![]()

They picked up a ton of free marketing across a variety of bases. The handful of people upset enough not to buy any more Nike gear are (generally) the same people who only got upset when told how upset they were. They'll come back around when they're told to. And this isn't saying all people upset about Kaepernick's protest are easily led. There's a large portion of upset people who said "hey, this protest is dumb... time to watch the game." There were also a large portion that said "hey, this is dumb, I'm going to set fire to $600 worth of jerseys... oh $#%*! WTF did I do!? That guy I like is still wearing his jersey!" That latter group has taken to Twitter and Facebook and given Nike countless dollars of free advertising... and they'll be wearing Nike gear just as soon as someone they want to emulate is wearing it. ![]()

And as with every other time Kaepernick has earned an accolade, Donald Trump's supporters lost their damn minds. Classy bfine. ![]() Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.

The audacity of Nike to use someone on their payroll as someone that has sacrificed everything is 2funny. As to Tillman; I'll always respect him as someone who sacrificed everything for something he believed in. ![]() ![]()

And use his image to advance your political beliefs against the wishes of his family while singing the blues for any perceived personal slight. Sad. Pitiful.

I've never used Tillman as a pawn in kneeling. I did use it to show the irony of Nike selecting Kap as an athlete who sacrificed everything. I'm not sure we've gotten the family's feedback on that. I get the feigning insolence, but it doesn't fit here. ![]() ![]()

Yesterday you were ripping the family of war hero John McCain to protect your boy, now you are trying to twist the words of the family of war hero Pat Tilman to protect the draft dodger. What did it take to get you to turn on military families? A free MAGA hat?

Man oh man, the notion of using dead veterans as marketing spokespersons (spokespeople?) is the most gloriously cynical thing I can think of.
