    Someone inform Ali Krieger that Trump actually is the President of the United States. Writing "President" is inappropriate.
    Oh, we only follow the Constitution when our team won the election?
    Raise your hand if you don't think we have a president right now!

    (I voted for the blue team every time, OK, blue people?)

    As someone who watched you guys steal all the Chase Manhattan Global Banking, Arthur Andersen and Foley Retail Buyer internships it's tough to see a UT business grad not understand marketing. Nike got a racially political filmmaker and later Madonna's ex-boyfriend to launch their shoe campaign three decades ago; every action and reaction in this saga was white-boarded in Beaverton before the first exhibition game of Kap's last season.

    Just because Cody Carlson never got a Verbatim endorsement (competent backup for obsolete systems) doesn't mean this isn't well planned.

    I see you've run out of Russian investigation tweets. What happened there?

    You never answered the question.

    Honestly, more corporations should offend the fragile sensibilities of GOP governors because I don't think any massive corporation deserves tax breaks just for existing.

    Kaepernick is a jealous, racist shitbag trying to further divide the nation, and Nike is allowing him to use their campaigns as a vehicle for this racist piece of ****.

    Brah, what do you have an issue with. I thought you love trolling to divide. Don't you support the President of the United States "owning the libs" with his trolling efforts?

    In fairness the woke business model usually results in financial ruin.

    The trick here is that Nike's key demographic are not 25-59 year old WASPs.
