Venice Festival just previewed a moon landing film that omits Armstrong planting an American Flag at the landing site.

A Goddamn Canadian is saying the years of spending the equivalent of hundreds of billions of American (not Canadian, not Jamaican, not European) Tax Dollars was a "Global Achievement".

No it was the fuck not a Global Achievement. It was an American Achievement.

No more Nike for me.


If Nike is the going concern, you're going to need to stop using a whole hell of a lot of other products. Just sayin'

NIKE stock down 2.5% so far. Investors think stoking controversy a bad idea.


That's a good start.

I wish I owned Nike so I could sell it like I did when Starbucks started getting too political.

I never short anything. There is unlimited danger in shorting. If you own a stock and it goes to zero, fine, life goes on. If you borrow a stock and sell it (ie, short it), you can be bankrupted if that stock goes to the moon.

I suppose I could buy puts in the options market, and hope the price falls below the put strike price.

And 3.16% for the day. Investors are not happy that their money is being used to push a political agenda instead of to run a business:

Wonder why you picked a 5 day chart instead of a 6 month, YTD, or 1 year chart.


Because the goal is to show how this ad campaign resulted in investor flight.

Any more 3rd grade questions?

Oh the horrors! The stock has crashed all the way down to values not seen since....ten trading days ago!


That is pretty funny. The average trump voter uses sporing goods from carhartt and remington, not nike. Do the trumpets really believe that a 35 billion dollar company doesn't know who they are selling to and advertise to appeal to the customer base?

We'll find out soon, down 3.2% on the market. Wonder why that happened all of a sudden?

Nike is a 127 billion dollar company.


Not for long. In fact, it was a 131 billion dollar company before this campaign.

It will be interesting to see what the market thinks of businesses that get distracted by politics.

You could say the same thing about ESPN and the NFL about knowing their customer base too.

How did that work out for them over the last few years with their SJW nonsense?

Just fine. Viewership is down a lot more in NASCAR--is that because of Kapernick too?

Well, if one sport loses viewers, then another sport must be losing viewers for the same reason.

The NFL lost more viewers last year than there are total NASCAR viewers. NASCAR (and alot of auto-racing) is pretty niche and has had alot of ups and downs if other leagues like Indy Car or F1 are having an exciting year. Whereas the NFL had a pretty rock steady viewer base until all the kneeling B.S. last year.

Golf ratings are rising this year thanks to Tiger Woods playing better.

Well, if there is a trend that all sports are losing viewers, then there might be something there, huh?

Not the NBA, where Adam Silver threatened to discipline any kneelers, in a league where pretty much every player supported the kneeling movement.
57   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 Sep 5, 10:12am  

You have to explain the drop off that exceeds comparable Big League Sports (ie NBA, NHL, NBA, not NASCAR) and at a pace disproportionate to the unplugging of cable.



UBS study shows Protests were the #1 reason tuner-outers gave for not watching the NFL
58   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 Sep 5, 10:19am  

It's interesting that Atlantic, Vox, and the "Missing Link" Media, along with the "Late Night Shows" immediately criticized, "Explained/Factchecked" (Left wing term for Tendentious Denigration and Dismissal) lampooned the Nike Boycott, but did not such thing re: In-And-Out Burger, which was far more ridiculous.

Ah yes, I forgot. If you make a million dollars, you forfeit your right to protest. That's in the Constitution somewhere, right?

NASCAR drop is higher.

"The Richmond race had a 1.8 rating and three million viewers on Fox, down 38% in ratings and 34% in viewership from the 2017 spring race there (2.9, with 4.6 million viewers) — and down 42% in ratings and 36% in viewership from the 2016 race (3.1, with 4.7 million viewers)."

"Worse, compared with the final game last year, the 2018 final game was down a whopping 30 percent over Game Five from 2017 (which itself brought 24.5 million pairs of eyes to their TV sets)."

No, you can protest all you want in your free time - and even at work if your employer allows it. Most don't.

Pretty sure Kap is still a millionaire and has virtually every elite media and Corporate head sucking his dick.

Yes, he hasn't played QB in the NFL for 2 years. That's a pretty big sacrifice.

Also from that article:

"With ratings struggles seen across television no matter the sport, any league that can get any increase is certainly good news."

Thanks for posting that.

It's funny that the NFL's prime audience is Middle Aged and especially Boomer Seniors.

The morons don't understand 18-35 Soyboys aren't going to start watching NFL unless they switch to tag foosball and have Furries get their nuts stamped on by Rosie O'Donnell at halftime.

"oooh yeah, punish my cruel White Privilege!"

Again--what does someone's occupation have to do with anything? You can only protest if you work blue collar?
