Some of the articles show this store owner as being out of touch with reality. So you remove Nike from your stores products. The one company that has like 99% of all NFL merchandise contracts. Then you go and sell the rest of your stock at 50% off.
Dude - it's not the fans of Kapernick that are ruining you. It's your shitty business decisions.
You stood up for what you believe in. Great! But sometimes that comes with consequences.
This is my favorite thing:
They died so he could do that and not be thrown into a dark hole in some god-forsaken part of the country for protesting, not for any single ideology. People tend to forget that about the American concept of free speech, it's for everybody, not just those you agree with. This guy was so blinded by it he effectively closed his own store, when he, frankly, could have just not sold Kaepernick jerseys.
This is not surprisong considering Nike’s online sales jumped 31% after company unveiled Kaepernick campaign.
I am enjoying the schadenfraude of a guy who opposes someone speaking out against police violence on black people getting some comeuppance.
I love all these stories. Dude kapernick is a hero and is protesting against black violence from police. Do people not even read what they are protesting against?
