Michael Jordan Resigns From The Board At Nike-Takes ‘Air Jordans’ With Him

Michael Jordan has walked away from the Board of Directors at Nike, taking his patented “Air Jordan” line with him. While Jordan has made no public statement, his spokesman, basketball great Art Tubolls, told us under the condition of anonymity:

“Michael is a patriot. His father served this country. His grandpappy was raised free by a man who fought for the South. He doesn’t have this hatred for everyone because kids don’t listen to cops. He’s completely against the hiring of a traitor and is taking his shoes elsewhere.”

UPDATE: LeBron James Also Told Nike to Get Lost

Air Jordans are Michael’s own design. He obtained the patent for the exclusive pump and anti-gravity liquids in 1987. Since then, Air Jordans have sold more than a billion pairs of shoes in literally every country on Earth. There are two pairs floating on the feet of astronauts in space at this very moment.
UPDATE: Nike’s CEO Has Resigned

In other words, Nike has ruined itself. Whoever teams with Jordan will become the new leader in sports apparel, and Nike will fade into the sunset with Puma. Nike has refused comment. Jordan’d PRR people are having lunch with our people to finalize the announcement. Fox News will lead the social media charge and Hannity will deliver the news live on his show tonight.

Reports say there were no players taking a knee during the national anthem in last night's season opener...
AS Cruise said in the movie"Vanilla Sky" .."the answer to 99 of 100 questions ...is money".
The players saw this as soon as they realized Kaepernick used them ..... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Notice that when namandgulfdumbfuck learned he had posted a lie, he lacked the integrity to apologize for failing to check his handlers' propaganda before passing on another blatant and checkable lie.

Not a single conservative here cares about the lie nor cares that namandgulfdumbfuck suckered them into believing it.

They are all right at home blissfully wallowing in their handlers' lies.

johnforbes believes conservatives buy products not based on their quality and price, but instead buy based on the latest ad campaign.

Appearances are all conservatives care about. Substance eludes them all. The latest propaganda from their handlers is far easier for them to understand. Ad campaigns, both commercial and political, are all they can grasp--someone else's thoughts standing in for their own lack.

Repubs actually have money, and not every buyer of sports shoes is some leftist moron.
As you were saying....

Nike’s selection of Colin Kaepernick as one of the new faces of the company has certainly brought media attention and controversy, but it’s also having a noticeable effect on the bottom line.

A new report from Edison Trends says Nike’s online sales grew 31% from Sunday through Tuesday of Labor Day weekend this year. That’s notably better than last year’s 17% seasonal increase.

“There was speculation that the Nike/Kaepernick campaign would lead to a drop in sales but the data does not support that theory,” the company said in a statement.

Oh please, we all know it is far too early to assess the impact of some shoe company which exploits cheap foreign laborers pretending to support some moron like Colin who thinks cops target minority suspects.

If Nike is able to virtue signal its way to greater capitalism over the next rolling 4 quarters, then we shall discuss that if need be.

It's hilarious seeing johnforbes criticizing American businesses for exploiting cheap foreign labor when he says nothing about the Trumps doing just that themselves with their ties, clothing, and accessories.

johnforbes is attempting to take the all time record for partisan hypocrisy on this forum.
As RealTool would say, "He's a shoe in."
Nobody else even comes close.

John...Nike spends a lot of time and money identifying their core demographics. More than 50% of revenue is international, so those people don't give a shit about conservative outrage.

And Nike's core demographics domestically are 15- 35 age group and they don't give a shit about conservative outrage either.

Nike is not in the business of bankrupting their company in the way Trump ran 5 casinos into the ground...

It will be interesting to see how it pans out.

No doubt Nike hopes to make money on anti-Americanism, and the Left would cheer on such hypocrisy.

But Elkin may be correct that Nike's core consumer base is so young, and so dumb, that they will view this moron Colin as some new Joan of Arc.

Like I said, the real damage done by Nike is to the NFL, they royally shafted them right before football season opened. NFL owners were hoping the kneeling saga was in the past and they could start getting prior fans to come back. The drop off in viewers of the opening game was even worse than last year...thank you Nike, we love you for helping keep the hate against the NFL alive. :D

Cranky old white guys don't exercise and wear Nike gear. So how do you figure increased Nike sales would be detrimental to the NFL?

Maybe you should short NKE and tell me how it works out.......

Anything that reduces America's fixation on these violent and destructive wastes of time that are professional sports is a good thing.

If NIKE actually helps rid us of the NFL (which it won't, of course) they should get a medal and a parade.


I can dream, can't I? But NIKE will do just fine, as will the NFL, and the ignorant partisans who keep trying to turn "nothing" into a "something" distraction for morons will simply ignore that Trump is fiddling while America burns.

Cranky old white guys do exercise, which is why Elkin's pipestem arms would crack like dry potato chips if he arm-wrestled others on this fine forum.

However, Clown's post is correct that a large percentage of professional sports = waste.

As to America, unemployment for women, blacks, and Hispanics has almost never been better since such things were measured.
