Wasn’t their previous ATH just a few weeks ago (before any of this came out)?

So sounds like they were trending up and this had no actual effect. But I’m sure people will assume a correlation.

Of course if the ad was such a bad business move, the stock wouldn't still be trending upward.

apparently, the Kaep ad has boosted Nike stock by about $6B.

If true, here's hoping Kaep got some of that, and not just a measling few 100Gs.....

Kaepernick, and Eric Reid, just settled their collusion suits against the NFL for an undisclosed amount:

So either this is an admittance of collusion by the owners who are trying to minimize the damage done by their collusion or a payoff by the owners to just end the entire matter or both.

Reid & Kap must've made out like bandits.

Oh yeah, how's that Nike boycott going these days?

Idiot.

Now maybe things were getting tough with Dick's Sporting Goods taking some of his business and because his location was in a dying mall, so maybe the business would have died a year or two from now,  but putting your business in a position to go under over someone taking a knee at a football game is just really idiotic from a business standpoint.

I mean, come on. You have hundreds of thousands of dollars in Nike inventory. That inventory, and it's not clear if that inventory number is based on retail value or purchased from Nike value, is your lifeblood in a business. He gave half the retail sales value of the inventory away for nothing. That's just plain stupid.

After the Colin Kaepernick-Nike movement went viral, Adidas (shoes) suddenly became popular again. I have never seen so many people wearing Adidas shoes in the past year. Where were they before 2018 lol. Either way, I hate Adidas shoes. Sticking with Nike.

Also, I find it funny how NFL teams support women beaters like Kareem Hunt, but they don't support kneelers like Kaepernick.

It's being reported the settlement amount on the NFL collusion could be somewhere between $60-80 million for Kaepernick.

That's a huge chunk of change for basically being told for two years, we don't want you working for us

$80M that's almost as much as Philip Rivers makes in 4 years lol.
