    An Explanation For The Kaepernick/Nike Caper

    What if your spiffy operation of selling your shoes for $150/pr that you make in China & North Korea for $7.67 is threatened by President Trump with his tariffs?

    ...The agenda is to defeat the Trump-trade-reset; however, they, in this example Levi Strauss (& Nike), cannot openly side with China and Asia against the United States. The PR optics would be horrible…. So they do it covertly by supporting domestic political policies and opposition toward the President who is threatening the construct of their multinational business model.

    Together the NFL, Nike and Levi Strauss stand to retain their current level of trade benefit (profit) if President Trump is blocked from instituting America-First trade and manufacturing policies. Supporting gun control (Levi Strauss) or supporting BLM/Antifa (Nike) is simply a tool to support the political opposition of the policy-maker adverse to their financial interests...

    I have never worn Levi's, always Wranglers, never liked those little skinny legged girly jeans. Nike has been overpriced and ugly for years. Skechers are more comfortable and cost way less and last a lot longer. Stupid stupid stupid marketing ploy for both. Why would anybody take stand on either side, as either way you lose half the business when you do that. Keep your damn mouth shut and get both sides of the business and let some other idiot give your talking points.

    Haven't worn anything but Wranglers since jr. high school. Like Tx said, the skinny legged girly Levis suck. Don't use Nikes, either. Now I will never even try them. I will encourage a boycott of both companies.

    The pansy NFL owners need to stand up and inform the players that they are employees and protests of any kind will not be tolerated during working hours. A few lost paychecks should put things back on track in a short time.

    Billy, let me know when you are planning the bonfire and I will try to make it.

    You ever notice that while JJ Watt of the Houston Texans was raising 37 million dollars for the victims of the floods, he gets no recognition for man of the year award, yet a washed up has been QB making his stupid kneeling, a political point, get s that award? Pathetic.

    I think that was closer to $42 million. And yes, he is one hell of a man!
