    This ad has not gotten a positive review from many people in media and society. I doubt it will last very long. Especially since he isn’t on a team.

    According to who old bigoted white males? The press I’ve seen has been great. The racist twitter trolls have been embarising.

    Nike is way more expensive than other shoes that are built the exact same way. You are a sucker if you were buying Nike shoes to begin with.

    Now that is true. I only buy Nikes if they are on sale or at an outlet. I own more Pumas than anything.

    Bc I agree that Kap is a poor choice for hero. But I still like their shoes the most.

    With the phrase they used, Pat Tillman would’ve been a far superior choice

    Yet Trump is middle and white americas hero, the person who actually rachetted this rhetoric to a grotesque level .

    We are all alarmed by many injustices. Does that give one the right to disrespect the flag, the anthem, and all they stand for? No! Kneeling for the National Anthem is an injustice.

    Killings Black Men is direspectful. It’s an injustice to be killed by the people who you pay to protect you. Sad that a flag is more important than a life. Again your favorite black Georgia Bulldog player probably disagrees with you. As long as the black boys tow the line, they are acceptable?

    Another political post. Fun. To steal a Kirby cliche in keeping the main thing the main thing, here’s something to marinate on and get the creative juices flowing...

    If Kap has decided to kneel during the anthem for the 22 military vets that decide to take their lives DAILY. Yes everyday, 22 vets commit suicide as they struggle to reacclimate to our society after serving abroad. They’re often under employed, under insured, and get little to no support. If his kneeling was for military vets, how many would still be upset as he “disrespects our flag and country”? I witnessed this first hand being a kid of military parents (both served Army’s Ft. Gordon). It’s not a protest if it’s convenient guys. Again, feel what you feel, but I try not to allow false narratives hijack my ability to think, listen, and learn.

    Finally a voice of reason!

    Just so all you guys know, the majority of the Georgia Bulldogs are black, like real black people. They most likely agree with Kaepernick. Hell the team is sponsored by Nike. Many of the comments here are low key racist . How do you cheer for black boys on the field , but make comments directly opposing to what is best for their well being ? If you guys said these statements to any black player on our team, please believe they would not agree with you.

    So, a black person who doesn’t support Kap is not a “real” black person?

    No I was just making sure that people realize that these kids are black like real people and not fake characters on a screen. So keep that smart comeback in your pocket.

    Big Dawg, sad that your “protests” are worth more to you than the millions of lives that have been given for that flag and anthem. Also sad that you don’t understand why that might be offensive to most Americans. Nobody is endorsing racism. There is an appropriate way to address that—kneeling during the National Anthem is one of the worst possible ways I can think of to address that problem.

    Absolutely wrong. I think you’d see vets telling him to stand his ass up and respect the flag. Find a way to protest differently. NEVER disrespect the flag or anthem.

    Stand by for reports of a drop in Nike stock.

    Ha, was actually talking to a friend about this. We both have been dabbling in the RobinHood app buying and selling stock with pretty good success.
