Did you care about this issue on this past Sunday?

Of course. I didn't buy any Nikes on Sunday, or last week, last month, last year, last decade or last century.
Ironically, the man who made the REAL sacrifice is the guy who occupies the Oval Office. This man forewent 8 years of continuing to grow his multi-billion dollar empire and chose the path of getting our country back on the track it needs to be on.

He forewent growing his empire, yet he mentioned that Nike "pays (him) a lot of rent."

...hmmmm

In the real world, tenants pay rent. Cortez and Bernie will fix that problem too.

Sometimes I wonder how you're able to look yourself in the mirror without cracking up.

Then I remind myself that I'm roughly 95% sure you're a J-Dub level troll in this forum.

Reading that dissertation your "friend" wrote, I remind myself that I'm roughly 95% sure you don't keep very good company.

Wow!  You snuck that one past the foaming-at-the-mouth liberals without a single word of dissent!

Try checking the Nike stock over the past year....

UA was down almost 3% today. Why is that? 
Nike is just fine.

Past year???
This is a new thing... Why would we say "Nike is doing better than a year ago" when talking about a new thing they started a few days ago?

Because he said that Trumps economy is booming but somehow Nike isn't benefiting.... Which isn't true.

Stocks fluctuate all the time so trying to make a claim that they're stock is down because of Kap is false. It's up today which isn't because of Kap as well.

"Trump's economy continues booming while Nike fell 3% over the weekend then closed today back up 0.4%"

You said every company is booming which implies that Nike is not booming. When in fact, it's doing just fine no matter what has happened in the past 3 days.

That doesn't mean that Nike hasn't been benefiting, just that they took what could be interpreted as a PR hit to their stock price in the last few days.

This is marketing genius by Nike.

Yep Nike is winning on all sides. They ain’t worried about losing a couple million dollars when they probably had 200 million in the coffers anyway.
NIKE = "Non Intelligent Kaepernick Experiment"

If Nike only had 200 million in the "coffers", they should probably be worried.
Their sales are said to be surging...sounds pretty intelligent to me  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't think anybody ever truly thought this would impact Nike financially in the long run. 

They made a calculated move to target the demographic who eat this kind of crap up.  There are more millennials who look to LeBron James & Steph Curry for their political views than 40 year olds.

Good for them.
