Nike Rules

Nike likes to use cheap labor to make their products. It isn't like they exploit these workers. 

This is what they call the new economy. United States companies use cheap labor to make expensive products.

There is nothing we can do about it.

Wait, just hold on! Don't burn your expensive shoes.

Why did you buy the shoes in the first place? I'm guessing for the logo. 

Nike makes a lot of things I don't buy. I hate their running shoes and running clothes, so I don't buy them. I did buy New Balance shoes and clothes because they made some of their running shoes in the United States and that seemed like a good thing. They made better quality shoes.

But my point is that Nike is the master of marketing. We could all learn how to market our products from Nike.

You hardly hear a peep from labor unions telling us to boycott Nike. That seems wrong. The NFL Players Union doesn't say boo about Nike exploiting their workforce. Seems kinda of odd to me.

Nike uses an exathelete to celebrate their 30th anniversary of thier great marketing slogan. 

So what if they want to use an athlete that took a knee during the National Anthem. There are some people that think it is disrespectful. Good for them. There are a lot of people that do more disrespectful things in this country.

Taking a knee to make a point is a nonviolent form of protest. That is a form of protest that did not harm anyone except the person taking a knee.

Colin didn't abuse anyone but he did cause NFL owners to answer questions about issues they couldn't answer and probably won't answer.

For his protest, the NFL shut their gilded doors on the young athlete.

I know the Packers could have used him last year. But they didn't take that chance. There were a lot of teams that could have used Colin Kaepernick. 

The NFL is a violent game and apparently, there is no room for any nonviolence protest on their field.

Isn't it sad that we are mad at Nike for making a political statement about a league that they give money to and yet they don't feel like a hypocrite for exploiting their workers and Colin Kaepernick?

Burn your shoes if you must, but stop and think about what is going with your thought process when you get mad at a man that did something to draw attention to the treatment of black people in this country.

What are you really mad at or who are you really mad at?
