Colin kaepernick is the new nike spokesman

I vaguely recall the folks way back when that went out and bought French wine just so they could pour it down the sewer . . there's nothing like enriching the folks you hate. LOL

As for me . .

So would I. Kneeling is easy. If I stood with Trump I'd get labeled some sort of white supremacist. If I knelt with Kaep I'd get labeled a champion of the disenfranchised - without really having to do anything of value at all.

Tough choice for me. On the one hand I have bad knees and it would be uncomfortable kneeling on one of them. On the other hand, my back has been bothering me today and it's a little sore when I stand.

I don't want to kneel or stand. I'd rather lie down. I'm tired. Who's the "lie down" representative?

This reminds me of the South Park episode where the announcer said "Please sit, kneel, or stand out of respect for the National Anthem". Where Kaep was unsure how to protest since kneeling would be respecting the Anthem

I've PM'd that guy a number of times and I got no answer. He apparently just up and vanished. Shame too because by the way you guys talk about him, he is a got damn legend.

He caught a case of gonorrhea from some guy he did an Eiffel tower with. Apparently there was some complications since it was in his ass and throat. Hope it didn't kill him.

Damn...that does sound bad. Let's all raise a glass tonight for his health.
 
I'm not against this guy being used in an ad campaign but this particular campaign suggests he isn't in the NFL because of his political views. Not true. He isn't playing because he is not an NFL level QB. Just like Tebow isn't out of the NFL because he's a Christian. First and foremost the NFL is a sports entertainment business. If a team thought they could win with him he would have a job

How is this ad campaign suggesting that he's not being hired because of his political views? I don't think this ad campaign is focusing on his employment status. I could be wrong.

That’s not entirely true either. Kap has been offered jobs recently and turned them down. For better or worse, he’s running with this thing.

Some people think that he hasn't been signed because of his views based on conspiracy theories and some evidence from the NFL. That would be the sacrifice and the campaign is built around his "sacrifice."

I can't really blame him for it either. I assume he's making more off that Nike ad/endorsement than he would as a 2nd/3rd string QB somewhere. Due to the polarity of his message, media outlets are all over it (both for and against), and he's certainly getting more publicity/notoriety from this. If I were in his shoes I'd rather have the set-up he has now as opposed to being a backup QB in the league... provided I could get past having to look like a jackass to get it (shouldn't be too hard since I'm generally fine looking like a jackass as is).

Agreed.

Ironically, I’ve read that when Kap started this kneeling shit, he wasn’t really passionate or informed. However, he got dragged into it and has since ‘reformed’ if you will and been walking the walk. I’m fairly indifferent on all of it but kudos to anyone who steps out and walks the unpopular road.

Not me. A second string QB is the life. You get paid well, don’t have to worry that much about getting your brain scrambled and you can go out to eat with your family without getting mobbed. Sign me up.

Im glad to hear that he’s become more informed (albeit with misinformation IMO but whatever - it clearly shows commitment) but I can’t abide you calling his path “the unpopular road”. If it was truly the unpopular road, we would have forgotten about Kaep a while back and he wouldn’t have a Nike endorsement. It’s the opposite of the unpopular road. It’s so popular that he’s exponentially more famous from his political stance than he ever would have been from playing football.

Polarizing road would be more appropriate I suppose.

The clerk at goodwill got all snippy and told my wife “i hope u wore those (nikes) in here to donate them”. My wife dgaf about this shit, doesnt watch the news, and had no idea what she was talking about. When i explained it all to her she blew up and went back and made a scene. Said she’ll wear wtf she pleases and if she does take em off it will be to “shove them up your ass”. Lol. (Sigh) God somebody kill me.

You've got the craziest stories. I would say I'd like to go hangout with you, but I would be a tourist and we know how you feel about those.
