  1. Played a lot of USTA matches. In Nike gear. Got a closet full of Nike. Not kidding. No shoes though, K-Swiss are the best shoes for tennis.

    Never will understand a company that goes out of it's fucking way to piss off 50% of it's customers.

    Wouldn't be caught dead in any of this stuff ever again.

    REgressives just gotta ruin everything they touch. Fuckers.

  2. Suspect there will be lots of Nike products available soon at thrift stores everywhere. Personally, I'd burn mine...if I had any Nike crap.

  3. Thankful that if I ever buy another "official" hockey jersey, it'll be made by Adidas. Meanwhile though we're all about Bauer in his household for athletic wear (hockey), and don't own anything Nike whatsoever. I can't boycott what I've never bought. For my good walking shoes I bought Asics, and my husband and son live in their Magnum boots (great for all-round everything). There's always been better than Nike anything, and they just proved it in a BIG way.

  4. Crap. Looks like Bauer was bought out by Nike, so we'll be switching to CCM now for all of our hockey equipment. Nike blew it - we spend a LOT on equipment every year and I dress the whole team. Oh well Nike - eff off.

  5. Sent this to Mark Parker, Nike CEO, just a bit ago:

    You've gotta be about the DUMBEST CEO to ever hold the title for siding with a never was any good pro football player in his protest. Haven't you read ANY of the NFL stats about game attendance and TV viewership during the last two years FALLING due to all of the copycat protests at games throughout league? How could you POSSIBLY THINK that siding with this unAmerican POS Kaepernick and the rest of his unAmerican cronies would be good for Nike?

    Do you have EVEN THE SLIGHTEST HINT who your target demographic is? The demographic you've sided with represents 12%, TWELVE PERCENT, of your largest market, the US population.

    This is the question you need to ask be asking yourself, you dumbass: Would you, as CEO OF ANY FIRM, allow your employees to publicly protest, in an unAmerican fashion, what ever cause, ON NATIONAL TV, AT THEIR PLACE OF PLACE EMPLOYMENT?

    This blunder ranks right up there with the "new coke", "xerox" and "betamax" ways of screwing up a brand.

    You, Mr. Parker, just took a giant, public shit on your own brand.

    These NFL players and the copycats in other leagues wouldn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out through if wasn't for America and American FANS. Yet, they choose to bite the hand that feeds them by disrespecting the flag, the country and most importantly the majority of their fan base and now you've joined them.

    So be it. I'm sure that Nike stockholders and the Nike board will have a lot to say about your stupid ploy, shortly.

    As for me, I've used Nike running shoes for my aerobic workouts and daily wear for over 30 years. NO MORE. I bought New Balance trainers this morning for workouts and will be purchasing some other brand's daily wear shoes shortly. The used Nike's that I have are going out with the trash, where they belong.

  6. Beautiful letter, Nemo.

    Meanwhile, the left pulls another MASSIVE blunder. Their hysteria at the Kavanaugh hearing is being broadcast far and wide. Normal sane people recoil from these sorts of tantrums, so every time one of these women shriek, another centrist moves to the right. Keep it up, liberals. PLEASE. Every one of your shrill voices needs to be broadcast, and louder, for everyone to see EXACTLY what you all are.

  7. Nike lost about 4 Billion (yes, Billion not Million) in valuation today. Cool!

  8. What I thought was terrible, was the line that Nike printed across his face. The first thing I thought of was well, duh, that is what every volunteer military person in the US Armed Forces thinks, which is why they joined the military.
    Those are the folks Kaperrnick and company disrespects every time they take a knee during the national anthem.

    Furthermore, from what I see on Live PD, and what happens on the news, and what I have read on various sites, all of these police cameras that there was such a stink to buy and equip each officer in the country with...they are proving the cops' point of view, not Kapernick and company's viewpoint. So now defense lawyers are working to keep them out of the courtroom and away from juries.

    Just play the damn game...if you want to protest something, anything...fine, do it, this is America, you have that right...but do it on your own time...not when you are suited up in your employer's uniform...don't care if that uniform is scrubs, a suit, or a jersey.

    And where is all (or any) outrage at what is happening in the city of Chicago? Where are all the black celebrities yelling about all the folks being murdered there? Every weekend?? Or is Chicago trying to be the top spot for training doctors and nurses on how to manage gunshot and knife wounds?? Is there some national award to be won in that particular category? I must have missed it...

  9. What the NFL, and Nike, didn't really understand is that football lives and dies with "flyover country". Basketball can piss off everyone who's not "urban" or "inner city" and not see a drop in revenue, but football can't do that.

    It's just math.

    Basketball is an 82 game season (not counting playoffs), five times longer than the NFL's 16 game season, so you NEED to get five times as many eyes on each game to make the same amount of money. Not to mention that a full house as an NBA game would fit in one corner of a football stadium (and I did notice a lot of empty seats at NFL games last season). When you need those kinds of numbers you can't afford to piss off half your potential viewers.

    I said it last year, if Kaeperdick wanted to accomplish something for the people he's "protesting" in favor of, he'd go into Chicago, or Harlem, or Bed Stuy, or LA, or Detroit (the list goes on), the kinds of place where the most likely cause of death for a young black man is to be killed by another young black man. Find the young people who see three ways out of their situation: Rap, pro sports, or crime (the first two having very low success rates, the latter giving a short life expectancy.). Open a trade school, teach them to be welders, plumbers, car mechanics, heavy equipment operators, carpenters, etc ad nauseum. Give them to tools to get a good-paying job, and break the cycle of crime and poverty.

    But that would require him to actually DO something instead of complain and virtue-signal.

  10. Frankly Nike shoes suck anyway. If you subject them to rough use they simply don't last. The soles de-laminate, the glues let loose at their first dunking in water and the stitching also has an aversion to water and rots or breaks. As for the rest of their gear I have no clue if it's good or not. I don't wear clothing plastered with free advertising that requires I pay a premium for. At least guys walking around wearing a sandwich board that says "Eat At Joe's" or advertising for condos get paid to do it.

    Nike can shove their merch up their ass deep and on a slant.
