I just popped in for the predictable conservative outrage.

What's the issue? I said on the first page that right after Kaep signed, sales went up 31% while rafters and some on the paddock were claiming their sales would tank because they were done with the brand. The opposite happened because middle aged angry conservatives who haven't worn Nike's since the days of Jordan wasn't their target audience. Now run along back to the political thread little one.

I would really like to go thru their books quarter on quarter to compare this 31% sales growth and review their measurement scale. I don’t believe this for one second 🍺

We have 2 posters with Boston in their handle I can think of... this dude, who literally has the stupidest political opinions of anyone on this board, and that other dude BostonCat2001 who's always badmouthing Kentuckians and our beautiful state while claiming UK fanhood on Rafters.

Is everyone in the city of Boston just a miserable asshat? 🤔
hahaha, go to Boston sometime. If you run across someone pleasant, they're just visiting...

I mean you do realize that lesbians wear underwear too, right?


Some of you idiots are REALLY overthinking this.

Rapinoe is one of the most famous female athletes in the country. The Olympics start in 5 weeks. VS sells products to women. Over $5 billion a year worth. And it’s newsworthy enough that a bunch of dudes in a small rural conservative state are arguing over it.

The move has already been a success.
You take it in the anus. We get it. Sheesh

This is obviously a case where policy is reversed. Ban on people who posted photos of **************.

Thank you for being considerate, OP.

Don't really care how Nike did a couple years later during a pandemic. They got a big bump after signing Kaep which is what I said. Sorry if that bothers you in some odd way. I'm guessing you think their sales data is false because you're a conspiracy nut? I recently bought some Nike's btw. First pair in forever. Pretty comfy and they look good too!
Didn’t look up sales but their stock at the beginning of 2018 was around $65 and closed at $128 on Friday. Rough 3-4 years for Nike apparently

I Don't think wokeness is a good business plan and if Disney is cooking the books to cover their image and their decline, then maybe Nike is too. That's why I wonder about Nike's foreign sales.
So because you disagree with a particular business plan, and because another company lied, you're suggesting Nike did the same, yet you offer no proof of wrongdoing. In one post, you mentioned "fractured artificial data". In another, you said that you bet Nike does the same, and in this post you've downgraded it to a "maybe". Throwing out baseless claims and conspiracies works in the political thread, but would you mind backing it up here for the rest of us? You keep bringing it up, so enlighten us. Maybe you're correct, but show proof before throwing some random claim against the wall to see if it sticks.

If wokeness is the only plan, then agreed, not a good business plan.

Might be a stretch with the loose transitive theory here.

Just using deductive reasoning, guy. Sherlock Holmes high from huffing gas and eating paint chips would come to the same conclusion. Maybe I'm wrong. But I also added about Nike non- American sales. I'd like to see that.

Personally, I don't think you're great at this. You act as if it's so obvious that Holmes would agree with you but then you cover your butt and say you might be wrong too. What it comes down to, is that in your mind, you can't imagine a scenario where signing Kaep leads to an immediate bounce for Nike, because you can't imagine there are others out there who disagree with your political takes. You've been living in that thread up top for far too long my man. Just throwing out random theories and getting likes from the same 8 people.

Lol, you're still trying too hard, Mr ANTIFA. How about you sit this one out. Grab some lube and hum it to a Lizzo shoot. I'll make any conclusions I want, little man.

Like I said, you're not great at this. You make claims you can't back up and then try to get out of the discussion by bringing up Antifa and talking about lube and Lizzo. Your last sentence shows how full of **** you are. Congrats on admitting that you're just going to keep making crap up. Doing that is embraced and celebrated in the political thread though.

I actually proved my point about foreign sales. I was just too lazy to look it up, but when I did. I was correct.
Got anymore terrible personal attacks?
You're more awful at this than I thought. Keep trying though.

Nike's numbers should be up. After all the looting, restocking of stores, and reselling, their bound to go up. They are letting looters off the hook in NYC so one more police shooting and they will be right back at it increasing sales for Nike again.

No one mentioned foreign sales but you so I'm happy you eventually looked into it. I said their sales went up 31% after Kaep was signed. They did. You claimed some kind of fraud by Nike but provided no proof. You just keep bringing up Lizzo for some reason. An album just drop that you're excited about or something? Be an adult. It's not hard.

You have no clue what you're talking about. But keep going. Disney did it and I bet other companies are doing it too. Go bother someone else.

So did Nike not have an increase in sales after Kaep was signed? Answer seems to be yes, but you seem to know some super secret facts we don't know. You also responded to me first btw, so if you're tired of me, you have no one to blame but yourself.

And as I stated, was the number you used being influenced by non-American sales. 31% rise being associated solely to Kaep isn't honest. You don't have the facts either, which is why I called you out on it in the first place. You just assumed the 31% was correct and needed it for your confirmation bias. You have no idea if the 31% rise was due to Kaep. You made the claim, I'm calling you out on it
