Nike

Just touching base with you regarding Colin Kaep. It is unfortunate that you would endorse this individual as someone our youth should be looking up to. His disrespect and protest for the American flag has no association with his perceived social issues and perceived social injustices. That you would attach your brand to his falling star is remarkable.

I have 6 children. I also have 6 brothers and 5 sisters. Combined we have 73 children, 37 grand-children, 14 great-grand-children and counting. When you do something good you may end up telling 1 or 2 people. When you do something wrong we will tell 10-15 people (or more) and they in turn will share the negative feedback and so on, and so on. Do the math. We will never buy another Nike branded product. I know our purchasing power is meaningless to a company as big as yours but it is my hope there will be millions joining me. Hopefully our voices will continue to be heard in your sliding quarterly's and stock price.

Through the years, I have bought numerous Nike products for my wife and I, for children and grandchildren. Since you have chosen to use Kaepernick in you new ad campaign, I will not be buying any more products from Nike. In my opinion, this is a slap in the face to most Americans who honor and respect our flag, our heritage, our freedoms and our country. I'm so thankful to live in a country with a free market system. I can choose to spend my money where I want, and there is not anything Nike has that I can't buy at many other places. It never ceases to amaze me how companies want to offend their customers.

I will throw any Nike shows I see in the garbage. Take your billions and buy controlling interest in a foreign country or ask the Clinton Foundation for some of the Haitian Relief Fund they stole. Show US Citizens a philosophy of life better than the US Constitution. Put up or shut up. Move your HQ to Venezuela or Cuba and show us how it is done. You socialist pigs need our money to create your pie. You can only get that by force. We need nothing from you to be successful…… including your shoes.

You single handedly just destroyed your company. My family and I have been life long supports of shoes and apparel... but the buck stops here! We are a Military family and support those that have lost their lives or return home with injuries and many ailments. What Colin did was disrespectful and a disgrace and kneeling on the field was not his platform. While I believe there is some validity in his cause, Colin needs to advocate from with-in, Re-train, follow directions and educate so that civility can occur. my final words!... piss-off

My family has a long line of military service and giving lives in battle to our great country. Now Nike has decided to award and make a company spokesman out of someone who refused to just stand and honor our flag and anthem. It is easy to sit back in your comfort to find excuses and reasons why not to serve our country when she called and needed us. Kind of makes Nike's slogan of "Just Do It " a joke. Now Nike has putColin Kaepernick image out with the slogan " Believe in something even if it means sacrificing everything" well how ironic. So many veterans have believed in something, it is called America and many of then did sacrifice everything.

Stop your disgusting Employment or Sponsorship of the most UN-AMERICAN THUG of America, Colin Kapernick! We the MAJORITY of America will not stand for it, as we have not nor will stand for the NFL to allow kneeling for the National Anthem! It is disgusting you would consider such an UN-AMERICAN person to be the new face of NIKE. Whomever made this decision is not worthy of the position and title they hold. WE WILL Boycott UNTIL YOU TERMINATE YOUR EMPLOYMENT OR SPONSORSHIP OF THIS EVIL PERSON!

My family and friends will no longer buy nike! Your company does not deserve any customers or success. You have spit in the face of the true heroes in this country! You support a communist brat who deserves no place in our great country.. Ungrateful, spoiled, just wants attention. Kaepdog has no idea of what the real issues are in the black, minority, low income are about.. Does not care... Shoule be banned from any profits allowed by hard working citizens who bought tickets to pay his salary. Or the heroes who died for his freedom.. You and kaepdog need to go the the communist countries and see how much attention they give you!

I am a consumer who NEVER takes part in these online surveys. This one was too hard to pass up.

I am a semi-retired 51 year old who is a very active equities and options trader. I have owned as many as 600 shares of NKE at times in the last five years.

All that said, I will NEVER purchase another NKE piece of merchandise nor will I ever invest in the company again.

NKE has massively shot themselves in the foot, all just so they will appeal to the disaffected consumer and political activist left.

I am absolutely stunned by this decision and consider it to be amongst the dumbest boardroom decisions in the last 25 years.

I am deeply disturbed by media reports that Nike has chosen to use Colin Kaprezak in it's commercials. While I support the "black lives matter" movement and similar efforts to expose and rectify racial injustice, I cannot support Mr. Kaprezak's actions. By choosing to kneel during the national anthem, Mr. Kaprezak disrespects a vital symbol of our democracy and all the soldiers that have given their lives to preserve it. Mr. Kaprezak's actions have alienated many Americans like myself who now view his advocacy from a decidedly negative prospective. I urge you to think very hard about the message you send in your advertising. I can assure you I will be doing the same and making that an important element of my future purchasing decisions.

I think you have done an extreme disservice to this country by hiring this promoter of hate and disrespect. While I agree there is a racial divide in this country he chose the most flagrant way of showing his "right" by tromping on the memory of our soldiers and the law upholding police officers in this country. I cannot believe you feel justified in promoting this type of person.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have been a loyal customer for many years, I have Nike sneakers, watch, and sportswear. I will no longer buy any Nike products because of your Kaepernick advertisement campaign. Sports is where we're all equal, and should unite people rather than cause divisions. If Nike truly wanted to help underprivileged people Nike could have set up after school programs, scholarships, etc...something to truly help people.

Shame on Nike

I think it's discusting you would use this anti American coward as a hero. He is a absolute disgrace and
aligning yourself with him makes you as bad as him. I will never buy a Nike product again. Kaspernick is no hero. I left my right leg in Vietnam and he disgusts me and now so does Nike. The outrage us veterans
feel for this pampered [censored] is making me also not watch the nfl or now buy Nike products. What did he ever sacrifice for America? These spoiled athletes make us real Veterans sick. Thomas Trotta

I am dismayed that Nike would choose a self-promoting, America-hating [censored] as the face of Nike. There are millions of athletes worldwide that espouse honorable traits and successes and they choose this loser. I just calculated that I buy approximately $1200 of Nike clothing, shoes, and accessories each year. No more. I am almost 40 and have been buying Nike products since about age 12. Nike can kiss that money goodbye for the rest of my life. There is no way I will ever buy a Nike product again. When I see someone wearing Nike, I will shame them for supporting this company.

With all of the truly heroic people in society, like soldiers, EMTs, police, teachers, etc. it is very unfortunate that Nike has elected to promote a self-centered highly-paid professional athlete like Colin Kaepernick. Mr Kaepernick could have easily made use of his non-work hours to protest whatever he was protesting (which was never well- articulated). He could have also easily protested countries in Africa (from which some of his ancestors originated) who have a FAR worse record than the USA in treating their people. FAR worse. I will no longer be purchasing Nike products - until Nike honors people who truly "Just Do It." If Mr. Kaepernick was a waiter in a restaurant who, at the beginning of my meal, intruded with a political statement, I would said to him: "Hey, what you think in your free time is up to you. Just like I'm not eating into your work time by lecturing you about my views while I'm ordering my meal. There's a time and a place. This isn't it. Just do it when it's appropriate." Just like I would not patronize a restaurant where the staff lectured me on political views, I will no longer patronize Nike. Nike should focus on true-life people who in fact "Just do it." Colin Kaepernick is not the role model for society - far from it. Wake up, Nike.

Since learning Colin Kaepernick is your chosen spokesman, I will not buy anymore Nike products! My son-in-love loves Nike, and I purchased him many Nike clothes and shoes and also purchased the same for my grandson. I even crocheted a baby hat and booties with the Nike emblem when he was born! I am sick to death of people who disrespect our flag and country! My husband is a Veteran and my son is serving in the military in Korea! NO MORE NIKE FOR MY FAMILY!

My family is an avid Nike buyer and wearer!after seeing today Colin Kaepernick is a spokesman! GOODBYE NIKE! I will not support him and I will now not support, buy, wear or have anything to do with Nike!

I can't believe that Nike would hire this man! Does American pride mean nothing to Nike? It's a disgrace!

Nike could just as easily have taken out full page ads in national newspapers begging patriotic Americans to have nothing further to do with any of their branded products as associate themselves with degenerate, finished, [censored]ic leftist tool Kaepernick.in the annals of advertising, this stain will be studied as the worst ever unforced marketing error. Imagine: Hiring! the dolt who took down the vaunted NFL.

It is very disheartening as a member of law enforcement and family members who have served our country, that you would choose such an arrogant and pompus figure to market your products . I will no longer partake in purchasing your products knowing the disrespect encompossed behind the figure you have choosen. At no time, have you attempted to research the opposite end of the spectrum from a government entity as to why these hellasious remarks made by Kaepernick spews at propoganda.

Using Colin Kaepernick in your new just do it adds just cost you a loyal customer. Tossing my Nike golf and running shoes and replacing them with other brands. Also will not be using any Nike golf equipment or aparall. Wife and kids will be encoured to do the same. We respect our national anthem and will not support a company that does not.
Sincerely, Chris Spencer.

I I saw one on TV and am so disgusted at Nike. I have never boycotted a company before but I will never buy another pair of Nike sneakers or clothing if Colin K is new face
Nike--stop the TV ads, destroy the printed items and cancel all future affiliation immediately please.

Colin's disrespect for the flag bothers me. So if Nike chooses to align with Colin, I can not buy or wear anything with a Nike symbol on it.
