Does Kraft still make Real American Cheese? They used to advertise a lot in the 50s and 60s. Probably grew it on a Mexican plantation.

and every McDonald's burger you eat is a 1/2 acre of the Brazilian rain forest.

Nobody is baffled. We just want to know what YOUR definition is for "real americans" as you are the one that keeps using it.

And when your taxes go up because Phil's taxes went down, you'll send him a thank-you card, maybe with more of your money inside?

Phil's not a subtle guy. He wants to pay less taxes. He doesn't give a shit about you.

No, but I'm not donating $1.5M to any political candidates, either.

Edit: well, maybe I do care more about you than Phil does. I at least know you exist.

I agree with you about Phil Knight, but whether his taxes go up or down has zero effect on anyone else's taxes.

But then, being a commie pinko with syphilis you probably haven't the basic education to understand how taxation works.

Welp... There goes your boycott!

Nike’s online sales jumped 31% after company unveiled Kaepernick campaign, data show

Talk of Nike Inc. sales taking a hit from the company’s decision to put ex–NFL player Colin Kaepernick at the center of its latest “Just Do It” campaign is looking overblown, based on data from a Silicon Valley digital commerce research company.

After an initial dip immediately after the news broke, Nike’s NKE, -0.12% online sales actually grew 31% from the Sunday of Labor Day weekend through Tuesday, as compared with a 17% gain recorded for the same period of 2017, according to San Francisco–based Edison Trends.

“There was speculation that the Nike/Kaepernick campaign would lead to a drop in sales, but our data over the last week does not support that theory,” said Hetal Pandya, co-founder of Edison Trends.

Nike’s stock has also held up after its initial slump. The stock was up 1% on Friday and remains in the black for the month. It has gained 29% in 2018, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.31% , which since 2013 has counted Nike as a member, has gained 5%, as the S&P 500 index SPX, -0.22% has risen about 8%.

The news generated plenty of online buzz, with social engagement around Nike and Kaepernick rising sharply this week, according to 4C Insights, a marketing technology company. Mentions of and comments about Nike on social-media platforms rose 1,678% on Sunday and Monday, according to 4C data. Mentions of Kaepernick spiked 362,280%, the data showed.


The athlete has become the face of player protests against racial injustice and police brutality, since he started sitting and later kneeling during the national anthem, inspiring others to follow suit. The action has irked President Donald Trump, who weighed in on the Nike campaign in a series of tweets this week.

That didn’t deter Nike from airing its first TV ad of the campaign on Thursday. Narrated by Kaepernick, the ad includes appearances by other high-profile African-American athletes Odell Beckham Jr., LeBron James and Serena Williams. The ad urged people to follow their dreams and ignore naysayers.

“Calling a dream crazy is not an insult,” Kaepernick says in the Nike spot. “It’s a compliment.”

And with a rate of growth we are now experiencing it get payed down much faster.
Couple that with a lean and mean government cuts and we are on our way. To you realize how inefficient the government has been over the last couple 16 years?
Its pretty simple, higher taxes impeded growth, but vibrant growth with fiscal responsibility will pay of debt much more productive like versus, increasing tax's.

The debts growing with all of Trumps spending. There is nothing fiscally conservative about his spending.

Idiotic post.

That's NOT how taxation works.

 

[Chris Craig]

Your going to lecture about opression and injustice. Hahahaha. You could give less a shit about those women working for 80 cents an hour. Yeah Nike is hypocritical. You aren't far behind.

I know and I don't like, it but I think he will cut more wasted federal bureaucratic high cost of government.

The National Debt is currently rising at a rate less than the 12% interest we are paying on Obama's debt.

Obama's and Bush's astronomical debt, with the crippling interest rates they both "negotiated" will be hurting Americans for decades, maybe forever.
