Crazy thing is, it had nothing to do with Kapernick and would have been an inspiring commercial without his being in it. He's none of those things described in that commercial. He's never been the best at anything. There are literally dozens of people that could have made that commercial more meaningful. Kap made it political just with his creepy presence. He was miscast for that part. NIKE **** the bed on this one.

Agree completely but there is another demographic that believes he fits the part perfectly. Those are the customers Nike is playing to.

1. I agree this country still has race issues and yes there have been some well publicized shootings of African Americans by police. I’m not going to argue culpability from any side because most people feel strong about one side or the other.
2. Our society is very polarized: politically, socially, economically, etc.
So here’s my beef with Kap - he is a problem identifier when he could have easily been a problem solver. Being an high profile athlete he could have made phone calls to various elected/appointed officials, law enforcement experts, activists, etc. He could have gotten them all in the same room. He could have used his clout to influence these parties to “leave their egos at the door”, listen to each other and try and enact some positive change.
He had the opportunity to be a problem solver yet he chose not to do so.
I’m a firm believer in griping about problems without offering or working to solutions only adds fuel to the fire.Last edited by StrayDog; 09-06-2018, 09:35 PM.

But what was the problem to begin with?

The sad thing is I’m seeing more & more people sit during national anthem played at HS football games. Even witnessed it tonight. It will only get worse with all this Nike blowup as more & more show their support to him.
For me, I have the utmost respect for the many who truly sacrificed for this great country & I will stand in honor of them
