    Found this:
    At the end of the day (well, the full week, really), we're still talking about Kaepernick. We're still talking about Nike. And I may not be a business major, but I'd call that pretty successful marketing.

    So in order to increase the recognition of your product by making a stupid opinion or point, that you know is going to be very controversial in the public arena, is worth the effort? In this case I would consider the Nike people as a major part of the catch phrase the left keeps spouting out, "creating divisiveness and hatred". This must be another example of the "new" way to bring attention to yourself, just take a huge dump in the middle of a crowd and revel in all the attention it brings. Don't babies do that very same thing?

    If I understood the article properly the Chinese were going to cover Nike's losses if they went on a campaign against Trump to get him to lighten up on the trade deal. Levis and someone else is doing the same thing. Levis is harping on gun control and I don't remember what the others protest thing was. If this is true it is like selling your Soul to the Devil.

    Bloomberg is behind the Levi part. These same people were pissed off and offended when Tim Tebow was kneeling and praying privately before the game, yet now it is okay with those morons?
