I'm not sure I'm permitted to question a corporation's free speech choices. I need a ruling from the brain trust.

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

It's an across the board decline, though largest among Republicans.

So Nike's plan is to put their eggs in the 13% of the population basket, less the 10% drop in favorability within this group. Good plan!

Gotta say, though, it's oddly amusing to watch leftists defend a company that infamously used child labor in third world countries to avoid having to pay higher wages in the states. They're basically the type of "evil" corporation they despise, overcharging for a product that cost significantly less. But it's okay because they stand with Colin Kaepernick.

On some other social media platform Progs were doing what Progs always do - telling people how to spend their own money by way of slander and taunts.
In this case, they assume that "Trumpsters" will be burning their Nike shoes and thus this Lefty commanded them to "Donate your shoes to a homeless vet". (note the ham-fisted stereotypical manipulation of "homeless vet")
I think we should return the favor as a Win/Win/Win. They can virtue signal their love for Nike and buy those $300/pr shoes, then allow someone who is in the process of "turning their life around" to curb stomp the Prog for the shoes, and the little hoodlum will have his set of shoes by way of the usual vector of acquisition.

It's a 10 year old car with nearly 140,000 miles on it. The estimate is $1,500 to $3,000 to rebuild the transmission. Yeah, that's better spent on a down payment on a new to me car.

It's been a good time to bring up the slave labor and child labor. So I don't think they thought it through.

If you think its safe to write off 50% of your revenues with an ad that really annoys customers, you're really mistaken.

I've gone back and forth between Saucony and New Balance.
It's important to be able to try them first, and also to know your goals.
I am currently wearing a pair of New Balance shoes that were supposedly the newer model of a pair I'd had a couple years back. These are comfortable, and durable, but they suck as running shoes - they're at least 50% heavier than the old 880s. They're massive. So they're now walking/kickaround shoes.
The last pair of Sauconys I had was a mistake, they were lovely comfortable things that felt like you were running on Sarah Jeong's breasts, but they were so lightly made that they wouldn't have lasted me three weeks. So they went back, and I took Sarah back to the Japanese Army brothel (oh yeah, this is the alternate universe where white guys did NOT save Korea from the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere).

They are betting that GOOD things happen financially on the long end, with the inevitable demographic changes sweeping the western world. This is long-range positioning. There will be many more corporations adopting similar strategies. They will poke traditional America in the eye, because traditional America is dying, and more people are "woke" every day.

I could easily see Dicks Sporting Goods going under in the next few years over it, and all sorts of heads will probably roll in these other companies but for "other" reasons.
But I'm sure there will still be a Nike, it doesn't mean it wasn't a stupid decision that will likely mean huge swaths of the population in the US no longer buys their product.

If you narrow your choices down to two or three, go with the one that has records. If none have records, look under the hood to see if the previous owner wrote the oil capacity and weight anywhere with a sharpie marker or nail polish.

Nikes play is a thick soup: browning of the West, hatred of authority and law and order, mock defiance, leftist delusional "justice," and yes, Trump-hatred. It's targeted at a bunch of constituencies, but not to us Normals, other than to use us as their boogeyman.
I know celebrating Nike's demise is fun, but I say it's too early to declare it a disaster. Trump is going to be the last white male president elected in the USA, probably ever. Nike is thinking about 2030, not September 2018.
Expect other corporations to follow suit.

No, big companies make stupid decisions that cost them big bucks all
the time because of a CEO's vanity. This was all about the Nike board
getting to virtue signal to their tony friends at the next dinner party.

There are any number of people who sacrificed everything. Dead Christians burned in a church in Nigeria by Muslim extremists sacrificed everything and may not have been wearing Nikes. And Colin has probably already been being paid by Nike or Soros or someone. he's not living on the street.

Old car is a 2009 Chevrolet Impala. Why, yes, yes, I was driving a sedan with the longest wheel base of any sedan out there because of course I was. Good solid car that had the great good fortune of being exactly the amount I could afford.
I would like a CR-V or similar but there's a 2017 Elantra with 18k miles on it that' right in the middle of what I want to spend. While I do love cars and would love all the bells and whistles, I also know what I want my car payment to be and Barbie Dream Car it is.

"Today, around 72% of Walmart shoppers want the company to "take a stand on important social issues" and 85% want the retailer to "make it clear what values you stand for," said Walmart’s chief marketing officer, Tony Rogers, in a June presentation to reporters, citing a survey by research firm Kantar."
"Under its 51-year-old chief executive, Doug McMillon, Walmart has often taken a more liberal stance on issues in recent years - a gamble for a company based in Red State Arkansas. But executives see its approach as part of its mission to let potential shoppers and employees know the company aims to be socially engaged."
http://tinyurl.com/y7lw6txc (goes to WSJ)
73% of Walmart shoppers don't know what day it is. I doubt very much they care about social issues.

This was for the 2015 model. I've heard the BMWs are tough and reliable, and I have a good independent mechanic who can help me keep it running right. But if I've got to swap out the lights on the dash, the thing I look at most, before I can even begin to enjoy the car? I'd rather have a cool blue or green lighting scheme. Or white.

My very-well-used Mercedes (14 years old, 13, and 7 -- makes them sound like siblings) did better by me than that. Of course I did my own oil and filter changes and had an independent mechanic work on them instead of the dealer, and they were from the Eighties and Nineties before all the electronic gizmos popped up in every "luxury" car.
That said, both of my Buicks, and '03 and an '11, have been much cheaper to maintain.

There's a local Mercedes dealership who ran a commercial with a middle-aged woman saying how she bought a Lexus but, *ewwww* it felt just like a *gasp* Toyota. So she got a Mercedes instead for pure luxury and class.

How can you do that when some of those groups hate the other groups that even associating with the 'bad' group alienates your brand? Nike is fcked no matter what they do now.
Let's say Colin was visited by Jesus himself and saw the light. Let's imagine he suddenly tomorroe actually and honestly wanted to help race relations and asked for a meeting with Donald Trump to strategize how to help.
He would be disowned immediately by BLM for even thinking it. Along with other groups on the left.
Look how they attacked Kanye.

Clearly the NFL cried uncle when they saw what it was doing to their brand that WAS universally admired.
I'm sure some middle of the road types that hate Trump are faking support for Kaepernick, but I would argue before Trump waded in, even a lot of Democrats were offended at someone wiping their ass on the American flag in that way.
So they alienated the vast majority of Americans for the 12% or so that also think OJ was innocent.

Yes companies make mistakes. Plenty of grave-dancing over the New Coke fracas, but looking at the long haul, it was financially inconsequential, or maybe even beneficial. It's a bad example.
Guess I have to say again: I despise what Nike's doing. Doesn't mean they're wrong. I despise the way the western world is changing. Can't do anything to stop it. Nike sees profit.

Their new demographic is the woke, the put-upon, the victims of the white supremacist system that made uneducated black men into millionaires for playing ball games and is somehow responsible for the municipal collapse of murder meccas such as Baltimore, Chicago, and Detroit. The New Nike Customer is likely to be on public assistance, and more likely than traditional customers to kill or be killed over a pair of the latest Nike's.

I'm a fat, 50 year-old white male with a fitness obsessed wife (one of us has to be) and two active teenage boys. Now, I haven't bought a pair of Nikes for myself since high school (don't like the durability or fit) nevertheless I presently have 15 pairs of Nikes in my home that MY WIFE AND I paid for. That's over $1500 worth of shoes before I even account for the Nike shirts, shorts, and socks I've bought for my boys. I'd guess my wife and I have spent north of $5000 on Nike products since my kids were born and we've been "old white people" by liberals standards the whole time.
Evidently, the folks out in Oregon think that these hipster soy-boys that stroll into their urban Nike stores are representative of their customer base. WRONG. I'd bet dollars to donuts that 80% of their sales come from Mr. and Mrs. Joe Sixpack shlepping into Dicks, Academy, or some mall shoe store to by their kids new kicks for school or sport footwear.
Their customer base isn't who they think it is. But they are about to find out... good and hard.

Note that Nike's favorability among Gen Z (18-22) fell from 81% to 51% and among their parents Gen X (their parent) it fell from 75% to 39%. My observation of my sons Gen Z peers is that, for the most part, they are not down with all this PC nonsense.
Corporations with access to skads of data make dumb mistakes all the time. Most are mono-cultures enslaved to their own corporate group-think... worker drones afraid to tell the emperor he has no clothes. I'm sure Nike is no different. I've worked with many of the top brands in financial services, and you'd be hard pressed to find a senior executive with enough common sense to fill a thimble. The Fortune 500 is in almost as bad shape as the Federal Government in that regard.

I believe that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo matter but generally people don't talk about such subjects.
To the next! Cheers!!
