The Sheriff in Union County, Arkansas is putting Nike t-shirts on people they arrest and making them wear them during mugshots.‬ ‪Source says it is to mock Nike and Colin Kaepernick.

That is probably one of the most uneducated statements I have ever read.

That’s pretty disgusting. Nike should sue.

I think its brilliant.

[Patchelicious]

I think its brilliant.

Why is that?

 

Do you not see somebody using their public power to express a personal opinion, while tarnishing somebody else’s brand, as a not cool thing to do?

This isn't as much against Nike, its against Nike's support for someone who, almost in your own words "used their public power to express a personal opinion, while tarnishing his own country's flag".

I think Nike has survived worse.

Tarnishing? Patriotism is for the brain-dead.

I know what you are saying. But I’m not sure these examples are congruent.

Because he is a BLM supporter. You know, the group of people that protest how "black lives matter". Coincidentally also the group that have the highest homicide rates amongst themselves. Black people are killing black people at a MUCH higher rate than any police shootings, at a MUCH MUCH higher rate than white people are killing any black people. White folks, actually, are shot by police more often than blacks are in the USA. So who are they trying to convince? And of what?

 

Quite a pathetic cause. And Nike supports him? Whatever fallout come their way, they earned it.

 

So I don't get it. Its like Julius tweeting that VBS back should be protected! And in the background looting it.

 

Edit:

 

Sorry boyz, I got a huge task to code today, might check in again later. Have fun.

Of course whites are shot more (because there are more whites in the US) but blacks are shot disproportionately to their percentage of the population.

 

Besides, it doesn't matter what his motives and beliefs for protesting are, whether you agree with them or not, he has a right to peaceful protest, which is exactly what he is doing.
