Good News! Nike Sales Up 27%

Online sales of Nike Inc. apparel and shoes surged in the four days after quarterback-turned-activist Colin Kaepernick became the face of a new advertising campaign. Sales dipped in the same four-day period last year.

 

Nike’s Kaepernick ad debuted Monday afternoon, a U.S. holiday, drawing immediate praise and ire from celebrities and customers alike. From Sunday through Wednesday, product orders rose 27 percent, according to digital-commerce researcher Edison Trends, which collects receipt data from over 200 online vendors. In the same four-day period last year, product orders dropped 2 percent.

It looks like that conservative boycott isn't working out too well.

From the same article

 

"It’s an early, if incomplete, look at how the world’s largest sportswear company may fare after deliberately wading into a hot political topic"

 

In other news, NFL ratings dropped again for Thursday's opening game by 13%, even though it featured the Super Bowl champs.

Dont sweat it, Tom.  There are companies tht make apparel for people of your persuasion as well.

 

 

 

 

 

What's the difference between Russian and democrat?  I'd hate to have to live on the difference.


Let's see.

 

Russians like autocratic dictators that oppose civil liberties, that don't believe in a free press, that believe they should be President for life, that are opposed to fair and free elections, that have a history of criminal behavior and strong ties to organized crime. 

 

Republicans like autocratic dictators that oppose civil liberties, that don't believe in a free press, that believe they should be President for life, that are opposed to fair and free elections, that have a history of criminal behavior and strong ties to organized crime.

 

Democrats don't like autocratic dictators that oppose civil liberties, that don't believe in a free press, that believe they should be President for life, that are opposed to fair and free elections, that have a history of criminal behavior and strong ties to organized crime.

 

 

Based on this, I'd say Fritz ought to order one of those I'd rather be Russian t-shirts.
