They got your money. You now have nothing to show for it while they kept your money. This doesn't hurt them. If you wanted to hurt them, then you should have resold your shoes: it could affect the company's ability, if only slightly, to sell another pair. But instead you removed any ability to do so.

There's nothing more patriotic than upholding the values of your Nation even if it means going against the government.
<but muh fleg muh hinm
The flag is just a part of the Nation. The core values are more important than the flag, or would you not shoot an invading army if their soldiers wrapped themselves with the flag? Should the police stand and let criminals flee if they're singing the National Anthem? Of course not, that would be silly.
<but that be disrespect to mah contry
No more disrespectful than cops violating due process and the right to live and pursue happiness because they're a bunch of trigger-happy assholes who cannot handle situations without shooting like a bunch of idiots.
Just for simple decency 'murricans should demand to give cops a better training.

PROTIP: marketing firms pull controversial shit like this all the time because they know the controversy will give them more exposure, especially if they can piss off a bunch of people nobody likes or cares about such as racists. They love what you're doing here.

See that giant logo on the side of the shoe? So does everyone you encounter while wearing a sneaker. I'm known by friends and family as an Adidas guy specifically because they've noticed over the years that I don't wear Nike (lots of soccer players wear Adidas out of habit). People pay attention to this kind of thing, even those who you wouldn't think are looking.

What kind of things? It happened in the US, it has ittle to no effect on other parts of the world and in the US it's controversary too. Nike might have lost some customers, but gain some too, which pretty much balances out each other.

Nike always had the "stigma", that it's worn mostly by black people, so what has changed?

For instance where i live in Eastern EU, there are only a few blacks, most of it are exchange students, so guess who's wearing Nike mostly? White people and they won't give any fucks about these happenings.

I have no issue with Adidas either, i just got a sneaker today, although i have more Nikes, just from AF1s i have 6 pairs. lol

But it's better, if we stay away from politics as far as we can, so we can live a happy life.

>> No.13654960

>>13654926
Yes, it would absolutely be better if corporations would just stick to producing quality products that serve their customers' needs. Unfortunately, American companies have begun to increasingly infuse their marketing with overtly political themes. I won't pay money to a brand which will then turn around and spend that money advocating against my interests.

Nice bait but I gonna take it: twice as many crackers have been shot than niggers by police in 2k17. You csn say that the ratio of crackers to niggers us 4:1 and that therefore it's twice as likely to be shot as a nigger, but they commit over 50% of all crimes so it's justified.

Τbh wearing shoes like Nike's and Adidas where the whole shoe is covered by logos seems like advertising to me. The Nike's and Adidas where the logos take less space are usually the better ones imo. Also burning shit that you have already bought because the company chose an athlete that you disagree politcaly with is dumb as shit

If a police officer panics because a children has a Wiimote in his hands and shoots him down, he's shit at his job. If a police officer shoots a crazy, unarmed, person because he's afraid they may pull a flamethrower out their ass then he's shit at his job. That's it.

It's actually a 5:1 ratio since blacks are 12% of the population and whites are 60%, but I dont expect retards like you to understand math.

Your logic is flawed, but let me interpret this graph for you. Assuming its correct, whites get shot 2x as much as blacks when there are 5x more white people in America than black.

This shows a discrepancy and prejudice of black people being persecuted at a disproportionate rate compared to their population size. The only way for this number to be proportionate to their population size, the US would have to have 30% black people, more than twice their actual population size.

tl;dr: You dont know shit.
