The cabbage patched faced sniveler, Colon Kaeperpick, has become the new face of Nike.
Apparently, the morons running PR for Nike missed what happened to Dick's Sporting Goods when they got politically stupid as well:
The embattled sports retailer reported a same-store sales decline of 4 percent compared to the same period one year earlier, or about 1.9 percent when not accounting for the 53rd week in the year. For the full year, Dick’s expects same-store sales to fall by 3 percent to 4 percent, compared to a 0.3 percent decline last year.
"We delivered double digit growth in ecommerce, private brands, and athletic apparel excluding Under Armour, however, as expected, sales were impacted by the strategic decisions we made regarding the slow growth, low margin [hunting] and electronics businesses, which accounted for nearly half of our comp decline,” Dick’s Sporting Goods CEO Edward Stack said in a press release.
Dick’s executives had previously warned that the company’s hunting business would suffer as a result of a decision to stop selling assault rifles at stores. The company discontinued sales of rifles and enacted a 21-and-over age limit on all firearm sales after a deadly shooting at a Florida high school left 17 dead last February.

Why businesses believe they can impact social justice stupidity without harming their own stock holders is beyond me.
Face it: were I a Nike share-holder, I'd REALLY be pissed.
Commercializing a scumbag like Kaeperpick flies in the face of common sense. NFL numbers have plummeted because they allowed this little worm, who is a multi-millionaire several times over, who has never known a day of "oppression" in his miserable life, to dictate the social footprint of a multi-billion dollar organization that is now watching as millions of Americans stay home and as millions more slam their wallets shut when it comes to buying their merchandise or the various cable TV packages that help to make them their money.
The lie of the Kaeperpick ad campaign is obvious. His stupidity has NOT resulted in this slimeball "sacrificing everything."
First, he's still alive, isn't he?
Is he living in a tent, panhandling for spare change?
Does he have it as bad as the homeless vets I see every week when I volunteer at the Veteran's Assistance Center downtown?
Is he even living in his car?
In fact, his car cost a lot more than some houses.
Does he live in a tent? Is he spare-changing it or sleeping on a Portland street like so many other homeless?
TELL ME, PHIL KNIGHT: WHAT HAS THIS SCUMBAG SACRIFICED?
The irony of all of this is clear. There are many, both within and without the sports world that fit Nike's disastrous meme much better than this... some who are still in football.
Kaeperpick made stupid choices. He played stupid games with millions of Americans who fought and defended that Flag he so despises.
He won stupid prizes. Others have chosen a different route.
Former US Army Ranger Captain and West Point graduate Alejandro Villanueva sacrificed and risked and fought and bled more on any one day of his time in the military than this Kaeperpick has in the entirety of his sorry life.
He risked everything. Comparatively speaking, Kaeperpick has risked nothing.
There are others who come to mind:
Below is Medal of Honor recipient Corporal Kyle Carpenter, US Marines.
He "believes in something."
Who sacrificed more?
Corporal Carpenter, or this ungrateful worm Kaeperpick?
This, of course, does not include the thousands who died defending us... or the tens of thousands who bled in our defense... many with their physical and psychological lives destroyed or severely impacted through amputation or brain damage or... you name it.
Any one of those brave men and women sacrificed more in one moment that this punk Kaeperpick has in the entirety of his live. Needless to say, I will never buy another Nike product and I will continue to ignore the NFL
Does Kaeperpick have the right to protest?
Absolutely.
Does he have the right to protest on MY time?
Absolutely NOT.
The reality is that until black lives matter to other blacks, they're not going to matter to me.
Any more than white lives matter to them.
The punks using the NFL to throw their hissy-fits typically do precious little to stop the rivers of blood flowing in the black communities around this nation as blacks slaughter blacks while these slime do... and say... nothing.
Chicago is a black slaughterhouse. What are these same people doing about it?
In fact, what is Nike doing about it?
Talk, you see, is cheap. ACTIONS are what matter. Do we see Nike blowing tens of millions on community efforts to end the black on black slaughter?
Nope.
So, Phil, do me a favor.
Take your version of white guilt and jam it where the sun don't shine.

Dick's Sporting Goods: Gun policy change, Under Armour to blame for weak results
Dick’s Sporting Goods said a recent change to its gun sales policy and lower demand for Under Armour products contributed to weak results in the company’s second fiscal quarter.The embattled sports retailer reported a same-store sales decline of 4 percent compared to the same period one year earlier, or about 1.9 percent when not accounting for the 53rd week in the year.
