NIKE - JUST DOING IT

NIKE - JUST DOING IT 

This week has seen Nike just doing it, in the sense of pissing off a lot of white snowflakes in the form of making their spokesman a football player who refused to stand for the national anthem. Collin Kaepernick was made the face of the product and oh man, people started cutting their logos off their clothing and burning their shoes. It was all sorts of comedy to see how folks just went off the rails at the knowledge that... well, this person the President has talked shit about was now making millions off endorsements while not even playing active football.

Last night Nike dropped an ad for the whole "Dream Crazy" campaign and, well, it was something else entirely.


So even after Trump blasted Nike stating "Just like the NFL, whose ratings have gone WAY DOWN, Nike is getting absolutely killed with anger and boycotts,"

 Honestly though, if you can look at that ad and not feel motivated that you can do anything regardless of your position in life and that you can't just follow your dreams, as crazy or farfetched as they could possibly sound like, then I don't know what the fuck your problem is. That ad was motivational as all hell.

Did Nike's stock dip a little? Yeah, just a bit, but let's put it this way, the move was always going to piss off some. And to blast the NFL, which just started the new season, seems a little off. I think that as a whole, Nike has been up nearly 28 percent in the stock this year. You know, fuck that. the whole aspect that folks seem to forget is that ratings and stock percentages aren't the real factor here. This ad motivates the youth. This ad tells you that you can be anything. This ad hits you in the feels and that's all that should fucking matter.

Having a football star that basically lost his career because he had the guts to stand up NOT to the national anthem or the country's flag, but for his own personal feeling against police brutality. That is in itself an achievement.

Honestly, the statement should be the note I end this article on;
"Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything."
