It's a knee jerk reaction by amateur investors. Nike will be back up in a few weeks. Just like BP, Guess, United Continental. Stochastics for Nike were already showing a downward trajectory anyways and it's already on the way back up. Bad news for a big company is generally a good time to make some money.

If you want to talk stats actually post some up.

Other studies also found similar results including:

-More whites and Hispanics die from police homicides than blacks

-Black and Hispanic police officers are more likely to fire a gun at blacks than white officers.

Blacks are more likely to kill cops than be killed by cops.

Could literally have chosen ANY OTHER TIME to protest

Getting in the face of congress is what Alex jones does.

agreed their system is a joke

Columbia, Yale, Stanford...no thank you!

easy on The Wire re-runs there

the irony never fails with you

how about you post some up yourself and do some due diligence when you're about to post a VICE piece?

it's not exactly the nicest of neighbourhoods and Latinos and Blacks are basically the majority (if not already since the Census from 8 years ago)

How are those part of the average USA education system? Couple rich people colleges =/= USA education system... also well beyond the age for formative thinking

Hahaha Christian college in Missouri... oh wait, here's a little snippet about this amazingly principled college and current President:
Traded a jersey for a uniform like Pat Tillman? He quit the NFL, proudly, and his country killed him and then faked the circumstances of his death to turn him into a propaganda piece! USA military ventures are financially motivated and have been for a number of years... those guys and girls by and large just get used as fodder for big business nowadays.

What an incredible and powerful marketing department the military in the USA has though... I mean it really and truly is impressive how they recruit down there. Directing career advice to areas with the lowest prospects for employment, someone in uniform singing an anthem at every sports game or flying a jet over or teams wearing camo jerseys... brings a tear to your eye................... until you remember it's all for oil/Lockheed/individual political gain.

They have to be kidding. Seriously, are they messing with us?
Is this some "wag the dog" bullshit? Truman show? Is this the Matrix?!

:awwyeah:

it's easy for canadians to thumb their nose at the us military industrial complex, spend as little as we do, when we're protected by that very same apparatus.
i guess you could call that irony.

is that power intermittently abused? tbh, i'd expect nothing less.
but i still can't think of another country on the planet that i'd trust more with that power.

and nike's no different. they wouldn't hitch their wagon to a manufactured and unsubstantiated racial divide unless it were profitable.
gas, grass, or ass...

The US military is a joke. The helmet for the new F35 cost 400K and uses parts from 46 different states. The parts are made in 46 different states so all the grease ball politicians can claim they are bringing jobs to there state.

Also when is the last time the US has actually one a war?

Bahahahaha, what stats are you looking at there? Please post them. If you are simply looking at the aggregate of shootings, that is totally ignorant, because blacks incorporate a much smaller portion of the population, so of course more whites will be shot in general, as there's more of a population of them.

You should be looking at shootings and arrests per capita, which it sounds like you are not.

The US has lost battles, sure. But they won the most lengthy, most lucrative, and probably most influential war in recent history.
the cold war.
Everything else could just be thought of as collateral damage.

the average school system in the US is comparable to our's

https://globalnews.ca/news/2944919/h...her-countries/

sure you'll have pockets that are in dire situations with a lack of funding, and you'll get some that'll have a greater focus on creationism than science...but it's not trailing too far behind our's

if they don't have the foundation in primary/secondary school, it's not likely for the US to have a fair number of top schools for universities

Did they really win the cold war because it seems Russia is as strong as ever.

This is just too good.. he’s such an idiot:

You mean 27 years after it ended?

You know what would be good? No, better than good. Absofrickinlutely stunning?

:awwyeah:

I wouldn't say Russia is as strong as ever. As a matter of fact, this couldn't be further from the truth because Russia is very much in a rapid state of decline.

Putin remains strongly in control -- perhaps in greater control than any of the recent Russian / Soviet leader has ever been. But the country itself is disastrous in numerous other ways. Economically it is in a dire state because the oil money hasn't been flowing with low crude prices. Its population has been dropping since the 90's, although it seems to have leveled off in recent years. Life expectancy among men is dropping big time though -- the figure is ~66 for Russian men, compared to almost 79 for Canadian men. Many young and talented folks are fleeing the country to seek better lives elsewhere.

As a great disruptor of world order, Russia is certainly excelling at that. But beyond that, I'm not sure if they have to capacity for it.

Russia is weak af economically. Total trash economy, full of corruption.

JOKES ON YOU, RUSSIA WON THE WAR

LOOK AT WHO IS IN POWER

Well it looks like Nikes favorability ratings are in.
