[Vision2020] Nike shoes

[Ted Moffett]

I'm certain the marketing advertising psychologist propagandists at Nike
calculated the
bottom line profit impacts of the Kaepernick controversy, which must be
what you are
referring to, and decided in the long term the Nike brand will make more
money via
supporting Kaepernick.

Having indulged  in this cynical yet quite realistic statement, I yet agree
with the spirit
of your post!

As for those who are protesting Nike's Kaepernick advertising promotion,
this is a good
example of the power of the fear mongering demagoguery that Trump utilized
to manipulate
the hoi polloi.  If the First Amendment right of free speech was as
aggressively defended as
the Second Amendment right to bear arms by those who are both Trump
supporters and
Second Amendment die-hards, Kaepernick's protests would be widely
celebrated!  Who was
it who said I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the
death your right to
say it?

By the way, I have a good friend who is a firearm carrying (hand gun always
with them...
yes, loaded) Second Amendment die-hard NRA card carrying member who
despises Trump!
Thus she (yes, a female) totally supports Kaepernick's protests!
