Nike Hates America

Our friend William Katz, repots that Nike's favorability rating have taken a massive, unprecedented, dare we say yuuge nose dive:

Nike’s Favorability Drops by Double Digits: Before the announcement, Nike had a net +69 favorable impression among consumers, it has now declined 34 points to +35 favorable.

We believe Nike knew, or thought it knew, what it was doing with the Kaepernick* advert. This was a blatant attempt to win SJW points. Maybe they're content with the above number but we doubt it.

What's happening. Tens of millions of conservatives, without prompting, are telling Nike to eff off. It's organic. It's unorganized. This is the PR equivalent of the Massachusetts militia sallying out to the sound of the guns during the Battle of Lexington-Concord.

Of course Nike's sales have surged but that only temporary. Right? Right?!

*Spellcheck recognizes Kaepernick.

Der Kulture Krieg

In handling the National Anthem controversy Roger Goodell made a major miscalculation. To be fair  hundreds of organizations have made the same decision over the last 25 years or so.

Corporate America has long feared angering any number of groups: gays, blacks, Jews, Native Americans, QWERTies, etc etc.

No one's ever worried about offending white, Christian middle-America. That's about 75% of the country, by the way.

Corporate America has a Pavlovian response to calls of 'racism' by the Reverends Jesse and Al or the squeals of 'hate' from the professional Nazi hunters at the Anti-Defamation League: cave immediately.

Last season Goodell let Colin Kaepernick get away with kneeling during the National Anthem even though NFL rules clearly state players must stand in a 'dignified posture'. He was worried about making an enemy of the race-baiting class. Meanwhile he told the Dallas Cowboys they couldn't wear decals honoring the five officers murdered by a BLM terrorist.

People really didn't like that.

The NFL's response was to kneel more, early and often.

Andrew Breitbart (PBUH) used to say that politics flows downstream from culture. This fight is about culture and it is a major battle in the culture war.

The NFL gave the finger to 75% of America.

Well, middle America is giving it back.

The forgotten fans

NFL 'color rush' Uniforms one Typo away from Oblivion

Last night we were watching a Jerry Seinfeld stand up performance which we recommend, by the way.

We forgot there was a football game last night.

Good thing.

Via Instapundit and Lindsey Thiry on Twitter we have this:

Let's be fair both the Rams and the Niners suck. Also Thursday afternoon (kickoff would have been in the 5 o'clock hour) is kind of a bad time for people to get to the stadium.

Screw it let's not be fair. Kaepernick is most closely associated with the Niners. Of course given that region's political predilections one wonders if fans aren't staying away because they support Kaepernick.

Let's look deeper. The Rams and Niners are wearing the infamous NFL 'color rush' uniforms for Thursday Night Foorball. Check those out, yo. Gansta black for the red and gold Niners, and a hideous yellow for the Rams. We recall one game where the Jets were wearing all green and the Bills all red. They looked like a giant Christmas celebration. Thank god our Giants haven't adopted these uni's.

[Sorry mate, week 14 against the Cowboys-Ed]

MotherF!@@#$!

We shudder to think.

If only someone made a typo and called these monstrosities 'colored rush' we'd be spared the whole hideous extravaganza.

It's almost as if the NFL doesn't want us to watch.

Here's Jerry on rooting for the NFL uniforms:

Roger Goodell, you want us to root for those hideous 'color rush' uniforms? What the fuck is wrong with you?

Keep on earning that $40 mil per, Roger. Keep on earning.
