[QUOTE="inactive, post: 3152411, member: 7488"] Actually I was referring to [B]Nike's [/B]virtue signalling. You're fair to criticize Nike for their marketing; I hate their spinning their marketing this way (to be fair, the same way places like Black Rifle Coffee spin their marketing the other side of the political spectrum). Phil Knight is a Republican who donated half a million to a GOP gubernatorial candidate in Oregon this year, so it's definitely hypocritical for Nike to "white knight" (or dark knight??) Kaepernick and lean on that for marketing. But then it's [I]equally silly [/I]for people on "the right" to criticize Nike with whataboutisms like the overseas factories when their real concern is with the pandering marketing. Don't pick on Nike for it if you drive your Hyundai or made-in-Mexico Volkswagen to Costco to buy your chinese made couch or whatever. Stick to what Nike's worthy of being criticized for. [/QUOTE]
