Dikks sporting goods isn't doing so well after they joined David Hogg.

The NFL buys Nikes, but for how long?

The nation is polarized. Taking a side simply pisses off about half of the potential customers.

Whoever decided to do that better hope it works out a lot different than I think it's gonna.

Globally, I think Nike will gain substantial cred. Probably more so the harder Trump-supporters go against Nike.

The right side of history is paying a man who wore Pig/Cop socks?

I listened to him speak once and he's an idiot. He couldn't articulate his views with paper and crayons.

And just what exactly is his issue? That the black community, which kills each other with regularity, fathers that abandon children 70% of the time, a culture that celebrates violence, and on and on...somewhere near the bottom of that list is police brutality. And I'm supposed to go buy a tennis shoe because he skipped over all these self-induced, self-destructive behavior and focused on one that has the least effect on their community?

This just perpetuates the myth that cops shoot unarmed black men with regularity. The Hands Up, Don't Shoot lie. Sorry, but the black community has themselves to blame, they have race hustling Democrats to blame. They are self destructing before our eyes and Nike will only help to keep that destruction moving along while they sell a few shoes.

Right side of your history maybe, not mine.

 I'm pretty sure Nike did a lot of research and demographic analyzation before making this decision.

 I for one do not think the majority of Nike sales are white middle-upper class families, I imagine minority groups collectively purchase more Nike product.  "Product" not just shoes.  I have no proof of this or research.  This is strictly an opinion based off of personally viewed situations.

 Other factors were most certainly taken into consideration, such as the outrageously large social media metrics culled from the major platforms, all at Nike's administrative and marketing fingertips.  A multi-billion corporation such as this doesn't just sign on a controversial public figure that is tied to a multi-year contract without a little research going into it.

 I can provide no supplemental information on this topic that supports my opinion by means of verifiable data, research or other.

I agree. But they are going to lose a bunch of rightys.  Just because their best demographic is happy doesn't insulate them from losses. Piss OFF half of the potential customer base..

Title: Re: The Right Side Of History
Post by Eegore on 09/07/18 at 07:00:32


 I agree that they will lose some customers however it is a well studied phenomenon that boycotts rarely last long and in most cases less than 10% of the US citizens that claim they will boycott actually put it into practice.  There is a ton of study on this.

 Can anyone think of a company that has failed recently due to boycott, or due to the choice they made for a temporary advertising campaign?

 It is estimated by APEX, an accredited and historically accurate advertising research firm estimates that negative publicity that exceed 48 million will typically outlast any loss in consumer level purchases.  The same firm estimates, among others, that Nike has received about 165 million in free, although controversial advertising.  

 They may lose some initial income but I don't foresee this ad campaign crippling their holdings or capital.

 I have no research, references, or other information available at this time, this is strictly opinion based off of personal observations and communication with associates in the field.

Nike, announced it’s, ‘In bed with Kaepernick deal’,
Just, AFTER, they signed the contract with the NFL
Nike wants the best of both worlds.
(For the Panty in a bunch, a rather standard decision foe any business, get what you think you can get)
The few burning, just laughable, because they already spent the money.
It won’t affect the bottom line, that they won’t buy again.

The target is: People, that say, ‘Mommie  Mommie I Want’, and mommie buys.
(They don’t have a clue, who knelt and who did not, and why, they just see older kids in school, and they want to be sheep-el)
People that have a bunch of tattoos, designer cloths, Diamond earrings, and stand in line for food stamps.
People that beat-up, kill, other people, to get their shoes.
People, that start to melt, if they don’t get absolutely everything they want, ‘given’, to them.
People that belong to a, group, which ’someone’ said, ‘everyone in this group buys red nikes’.
‘ ‘ ‘ and another said blue, and another said white, and another said green with strips, etc, etc, etc,
Those are the people, that BUY, Nike, then throw them away, because they are not perfectly clean anymore, and buy another pair.
That, is a big chunk of money.  Just like the big chunk, from the Signing the NFL Contract.

Also, I am sure that the, ‘FREE”, advertising was a big part of the decision.
I thought the amount would be 50-60 Million.
It has been said: “…The same firm estimates, among others, that Nike has received about 165 million in free,…”
Don’t care whatever the product is, or whatever association the product maker has.
165 MILLION  in FREE  advertising nice little chunk.

“… Can anyone think of a company that has failed recently due to boycott, or due to the choice they made for a temporary advertising campaign?…”

Don’t have any data on any fortune 500 companies.
Do have, ‘realistic observed’, data on a small town Liquor store.
Sm Town, was a store, the owner did good, he got sick, a new person bought it.
That person, was doing good for a couple of years.
Then Just before the election, I was in their as was another customer.
I talked to the other customer, and remarked, I had heard NO ONE, offering any support for HRC.
The other customer offered the same observation.
Suddenly, the new owner spoke up, (first time I ever heard him talk political)
He said:  “well I  support HRC, given her money, and will vote for her”
As the two of up had already paid, we just walked out.
That was Late Sept 16. I know I, spoke to others about the insentient.  (Sure the other person did also) By end of Oct, just driving by Ray Charles, could see business was greatly down.  By the end of Nov, he was closed.
(Christmas & 4th July, are to of the biggest times in that industry)

So a, un-announce, no ’social’ media, no FB/Twitter/Etc comments made.
A ’Snowflake’ business, just could not stay in business.

Interesting, did anyone keep track of the coffee shop, that publicly said, ’no cops’.
Wonder if their business is up or down after making that announcement.

Don't have the financial records of Levi.
Yet 'Observed Reality' shows they were loosing sales,  LONG,  before they took the, 'Anti Gun  Stand'.

One can purchase blue Denim pants, that are Better, and cost 1/4 - 1/3 of the Levi brand, from 20 + companies.

The, Anti-Gun stand, I believe will work out as well as,  'Dic ks'  Anti-Gun Stand.

Well seeing as how, you lack understand of a concept, and the word context.

In your past posts, you frequently stated your position that the, ‘baker’, should be forced to make a custom cake, for 2 gay people.
Regardless of the fact that the religion he believed in,  said he should not.

With the fact that you have also said several times, you don’t believe in, believing in anything, (Religious/Deity), you believe the baker should, ALSO, not believe, as you say you do not believe. Therefore they, (in your belief) must make a cake, because any believe they have is Invalid.  Simply because, you, say you do not believe in any belief.
(Which you have proved wrong by your posts, or your talking out of two sides of your mouth)

Now let’s re-cap.  Understanding the Context, (Theirs that word again, which you have a very hard time with)
JOG said:”… Nobody should ever be forced to perform an action against their conscience. Like Baking a cake to celebrate an abomination in the eyes of the Lord…”
Then you said: “…Abomination?  LOL To you maybe, not to everyone….”
Which in Context, (Remember that word you don’t understand?), says, ‘Jog’s statement is invalid, because, you, think it is invalid’.

Next, JOG says: "Your grasp of the religious beliefs of others

Then you respond: “…Nor does yours on us….”

Think about that. You Just said, in, CONTEXT.
‘A persons religious belief does not count’

Nope, I never said that.  I said, that opens up a slippery slope of discrimination.  You should really try to pay attention mn.

You don't seem to understand a simple idea.  Just because you believe in something doesn't mean that others don't.  How in the world does that invalidate the other position??  If I don't believe in Allah, but someone else does, that doesn't invalidate those people....

Maybe you need to be taught in motorcycle terms.  SO, if you like Harleys, and I don't, that's doesn't invalidate your love of Harleys.

How do you not understand that basic principle?

Yes, you have that right.  We all have that right.  But if you're in a business, there might be consequences.

You have the right to be a racist.  You can live freely in this country and still be a nazi.  But if you run a business under those beliefs then there might be consequences.

Being here in St Louis, which is something of a ground zero given the Michael Browm situation, I've still yet to hear a coherent description of a realistic vision of what people like this guy is wanting to see happen. So somebody tell me.

And don't say no justice, no peace cause that doesn't really mean anything specific . Don't say the police should stop killing blacks cause that's not true.

I've got to buy a new pair of golf shoes this week so tell me why i should reward Nike for trying to push me to the right side of hist and buy theirs?

 I don't think Nike is trying to push you anywhere, they have no reason to care what you think is wrong or right.

 They create advertising campaigns for sales increases and do so by analyzing demographic information.  This isn't Nike Corporate taking a political stand, its for money.

 Nike must have run metrics that show they should see an increase in sales if they run this campaign.  Nike is not analyzing political standings and attempting to get guys who buy golf shoes to think different about politics, religion, or anything else.

 They are taking a loss on your sales hoping to gain in other demographics.

Fair enough and totally true.

Okay, then what is Kapernick trying to say? What is BLM trying to say? What are the protestors trying to say? Someone explain it.

OK, so, ’NO Faith”  AND, ’No Disbelief’.

So, ’No Faith’, would say, you do not believe in any ‘blessings’, that are used by a ‘religion’.
Therefore, using a, ‘blessing/s’ that are used by a ‘Religion’,
is something one would not do, because one does not believe in them.
So by using them, one would be, Lying, when they say them!

Now, ’No Disbelief’, would say, one has, ’No Disbelief, in the Blessings, which are used by other, ‘Religion following people’.
Yet if one feels free to use them. (‘Blessings’ that, ‘Religious’ people use).
One is using them to, ‘make fun, of people of a ‘Religion’ which uses those words as a Blessing’.
(That would make that person a What ?)

So to refine,
Are you Lying when you say you are, Not Religious ?
Or are you Lying when you say you, are Religious ?

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/sep/08/colin-kaepernick-nike-ad-sales-up

Sales bested 2017’s 17% increase over Labor Day, according to Edison Trends, despite Trump’s protests of the campaign

This is because people who are not complete f.ucking imbeciles, meaning the bulk of the US population, understand that this is about police brutality and the waaaay disproportionate killing of black people by police. Which itself is but a manifestation of America's dark past. Which Trump stokes at every opportunity because this is the charade that got him elected and the Republican Party don't care about anything as long as they can push their agenda of tax cuts for the wealthy, and stacking the Supreme Court for a generation which will ensure that their voter suppression tactics and ridiculous gerrymandering of voting districts keeps them in power.

Curious if that have anything to do with Nike’s ’Sale’.
“Stock up on men's clearance gear and take advantage of signature Nike items on sale."
Or the, Coupons offered, on, ‘Groupon”

Of course, the sales are the SAME, up/down, as the Labor Day last year.
Just this year it is higher, yet following the Same, up/down.

Looking at the chart, looks a lot like, Last years Low, is compared to this year high.  
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/07/nikes-online-sales-surge-in-days-after-kaepernick-ad-debut.html

Also suspect the estimate of 150  MILLION dollars of Free advertising,
just may has something to do with this.

As soon as the Kaepernick campaign starts dropping in sales, (and it will),
Nike will move on to another person.
Their is nothing political, on Nike’s part, except to get the rush of 150 MILLION of Free Advertising.
Just like ANY, other business would.

To say that Nike Sales have anything to do with the hatred of Trump, and his policies.
Would be the same as, tt saying, Pray/Bless.

 Locally this business was in the news for having to close down after pulling Nike due to the Kaepernic issue.  I know of one more in CO that closed after the holiday sales for the same reason.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ftw/2019/02/13/sports-store-closing-after-nike-colin-kaepernick-protest-backfires/39053759/

 Kaepernic Jersey sales from Nike sold out in 10 hours at $150 each.
