They feign outrage yet willingly twist Ms Tillman's words to support their agenda. She clearly said he should not be politicized in a way that divides us. To suggest Tillman is a better candidate that Kaep does not politicize this, If anyone politicized the message it is Nike and those feigning outrage at folks that suggest Tillman is a better choice.  

Those that ingenuously partially quote MS Tillman will say you are "going against her wishes by suggesting Tillman would be a better choice for their anniversary campaign fail to mention in the same letter she said:


It's just the left's feeble attempt at shaming and they don't agree with the message so they attack folks who disagree with their views.

How is a man who died in service of this country a fitting choice to sell Nike crap?  This whole premise is based upon the notion that Nike, as a brand or a product, says they represent sacrifice (how?) and then the public gets all butt-hurt fighting over which person best fits this false narrative presented to us.  This is some bizarre stuff. Nike just has to say they are the most heroic brand and watch the masses scramble to attach the most heroic person they can think of to this suddenly resplendent brand. Astounding. We are absolute slaves to marketing.

People are arguing who is best deserving of the "honor" of having his face plastered on the latest completely-full-of-crap advertisement for a brand that, to my knowledge, has nothing to do with sacrifice nor struggle of any kind save the people who manufacture the products.  If open a strip club and call it "Nately's Strip Club for Heroes and Patriots" would people be demanding that Pat Tillman be the face of it?  It's all about patriotism and heroism...so Pat Tillman fits the bill! God forbid anyone who gave less to this country be the face of this STD-soaked smut house.

And blah blah blah.  Like I said before, people feeling that a dead veteran is NOT being used to shill merchandise is disrespectful to his sacrifice is the most cynical thing I can think of.  Should athletes be on Wheaties boxes?  Shouldn't each box have a dead veteran on the front?  Who are the REAL champions of bran flakes?!
