I'm willing to sacrifice the profit opp for what I believe in. So, you're willing to sacrifice everything? I'm so inspired.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely do, but there are many profit options out there that won't tie me to CK in any way outside of 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when they announce their new knee pad line tomorrow they'll be considered marketing geniuses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulus Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 22 hours ago, donbb said: OP, make a poll telling us the buy number. Idk, it'd be fun to see who gets the closest. I think, this may really hurt Nike. Down 10% by Mar 2019. The freaks are gonna buy no matter what, and the SJWs will spend a wad ASAP, but it'll take a minute for the old consumers to have their impact felt. Old consumers will leave. Leaving the NFL fan base is hard, buying a different sneaker isn't. Buying now, would be great, as I can see a nice quarterly profit, but reality will soon set in. Buy now, sell very early 2019.

So I wonder if that something is using cheap, overworked labor in China or whatever godforsaken place they use to manufacture? Ironic isn’t it? Nike has sweatshops in Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia. What a bunch of loser hypocrites. Today is the day I choose to never purchase a Nike product again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure stuff like this runs through my mind as well. Always more to it than the obvious. Follow the cash I guess. Nike may sell the shite out of their product stateside, but the money is really made where they manufacture it. 23 minutes ago, billsfan_34 said: Ironic isn’t it?

Me not so much as I just got a pair of casual walk around Nikes for $125 a month ago and have hardly touched them. Not sure if I can bring myself to toss them out. Sure as hell not buying any more of them. I really like their stuff as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 10 hours ago, Deranged Rhino said: They knew that would happen. This is a long term strategy. Risky, but they're banking on the fact that since young people (under 35) buy 2/3rds of their sneakers and that black people overwhelmingly buy more Nike gear than any other demographic per population percentage. They think this will motivate them to buy more gear and will far outweigh any boycotts. Young people and black people are the most likely to support kneeling during the anthem. Nike isn't being heroic here by making some cultural stand. It's purely about increasing profits long term. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think if you need sneakers, you buy them. You don't buy more than you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
