From a marketing POV, Nike hit this one out of the park. One marketing firm is estimating that Nike has generated $163M's worth of media exposure from this incident so far. I forgot / can't find how much Nike paid Kaepernick for the sponsorship, but I'm pretty damn sure they didn't pay him anywhere remotely close to $163M.
Hey that's great for Nike.
I hope they enjoy mass profits while adding to that countries divisions.

I bet half those fools who burned their Nike’s went “damn that was my only pair of shoes” after they recorded their videos... lol... that’s the level of intelligence at play here

It's actually great for everyone. Everyone from the workers there to investors big and small. Great for the millions of people who have retirement funds that hold Nike as well. Profits are divied up to all shareholders in a quarterly dividend.
Curious about the shoe burning Youtubers though, if they want to Make America Great Again... why would they want a great American company to crash and burn? Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Can't wait to see Serena Williams on the next poster.
That'll show all those mean sexist tennis judges!
LOL you haven't even seen the ad.
I think the 10's of millions of dollars she has in her bank account will help her get over her loss. Not going to talk about how much her husband has. Greatest female tennis player of all time.

I haven't watched the video on that cartoon so I'm not sure what it is saying... but when I saw that whole thing pop up on my newsfeed yesterday I didn't really understand what the big deal was... I mean maybe the other tennis player should be depicted as the Japanese one and the umpire could be more accurate to the one that actually did the game............. but what is racist about Serena Williams depiction? That's what she freaking looks like hahaha! You could ask a hundred caricature artists to do a drawing of her while she sits in front of them and they're all gonna come out exactly like that!
What are they supposed to make her look like? Thin lips and pointy nose?
I can't watch the video at work so I'm not sure what points it is making either for or against...

LOL it does not... it looks like a totally reasonable cartoon version of her... ffs how soft are people? Every single caricature artist on the planet is a racist I guess
What was the point of making the other player white.
I already said above that's the only weird thing about it in my mind... altho if he hadn't, imagine the flack he'd be taking over his version of a Japanese/Black cross depiction... can't win lol
The Japanese player is actually really tanned with blonde hair. The cartoon is pretty accurate. The judge is drawn white... the typical rouge skin tone.
