Blacks? Seriously, we just say blacks now?
Besides what does any of that have to do with the Nike or their ad?
Ummmm yes, we can and DO refer to BLACK people as black. Just as we refer to WHITES as whites. Sheesh

Thanks. I'm sure the usual white sheeters will jump on me and act like they can't possibly understand the issue. But seriously, when are we just going to say enough with this covert racist stuff?TBH, I was surprised to see it worded that way as well
It’s funny that they think they are being so sly, like others don’t see right through them. It’s the same thing every thread of this type.Thanks.

Even dumber are those who are buying Nike shoes so they can burn them! (yes, I've heard of a few doing that)
Oh stop with the both sides nonsense. It's only a problem for people on one side. Whether you agree, disagree or don't give a damn, the controversy with Kaepernick, kneeling and Nike from one side. Can we just stop with the nonsense and pretending it's a both sides thing? If morons weren't all up in arms, that includes tweeting and burning their Nike products, there would be no "thing".Dang people it's an ad for shoes-why people need to turn it into a race thing on both sides (even as unsurprising as that is) is beyond me.
I don't really care who the spokesperson is on products. The message tends to be more what I'm after. It's a good message. But not for nothing I don't even care to buy Nike shoes (or products) they typically are too rich for my blood anyways

IDK..cuz I was talking about the ad not about the color of the spokeperson's skin. To me it doesn't matter. If it does to you great but as I said I thought the message was great I just don't tend to care who the spokespersons are for products.Why do some people NEED to pretend that this isn't about race???
You're more than welcome to continue on but I'm going to continue the conversation hereonafter about the nike ad which as I already stated I thought it was a good messageOh stop with the both sides nonsense.

Because they know if they admit it's about race and give their opinion then there's no denying the truth about them.Why do some people NEED to pretend that this isn't about race???

The only reason we are taking about Nike or the ad is because of Kaepernick and the whole kneeling thing. The wide eyed "I can't possibly understand why race is brought up" and then the both sides stuff is so transparent.
ExcellentTo those putting down Nike & thinking there will be a demise in the future have you SEEN the full 2 min new ad? It's FANTASTIC. Very inspiring. There is not a single actor in the ad. Everyone in it are REAL athletes who accomplished much. Even the one that lost 120 lbs, to win the Iron Man, after beating a brain tumor. And there is a lot of diversity in the ad. And athletes coming from all walks of life& situations.
Nike's new ad campaign & direction isn't targeting old fogies in an old establishment. Nike is targeting the millennials & Gen Z-ers. They are targeting the future.

You have repeatedly shown us who you are with your comments. Don't try to turn this into something it isn't. The only reason there's a controversy about the ad is because of Kaepernick and the only reason he's controversial is because he is outspoken about issues of race and Police. It's only negative on these boards to the same posters who repeatedly post racist things and or agree with posters racist things.
BTW, if the same people are repeatedly being thought of as racist because of their comments, it's because they are racist.
I mean that may be the reason you are talking about it. I get the controversy on it but I don't recall me personally mentioning anything about kneeling or anything remotely like that-again to you it may be the reason it was.The only reason we are taking about Nike or the ad is because of Kaepernick and the whole kneeling thing.
