*_Freedom of Speech goes both ways._* I'm a 2 tour vet who comes from a long line of vets and support "taking a knee" - which is the very least of our efforts against the corrupt, wannabe-military, unchallenged police who act out with racism, brutality, and murder - and get away with it. Last I checked, this was the USA, not Nazi Germany. It is all 100%, without question, absolutely *not* about honoring anything except the world's wealthiest and the bread crumbs thrown by them to their best ass kissers for their own wealth, power, and living privileges. The police are used as their personal, domestic armies while they remain above the law. Nothing but hypocrisy and double standards from those opposing the efforts against police crimes and fairness in our justice system, yet claim they love the USA and honoring what our flag stands for.
I am the granddaughter, the great niece, the daughter, the wife, and the mother of combat veterans and I also support "taking a knee". Oh, and I should mention I am the great niece of a WAC who was in Bastogne during the Battle of the of the Bulge, and chose to stay when the other women were removed when the Germans were about to take the city, because she was the only one who knew how to operate the more complex communication systems that were being used in what had been, shortly before, the rear echelon. She got a Bronze Star for it.
Amen! Thank you for speaking out. Thank you for your service. I cannot stand false Patriotism. Actions speak louder than words. If you really respect our Veterans, you wouldn't have to be hounded relentlessly for the donation you promised them. (Trump). If you really respected our Veterans you wouldn't have to be PUBLICLY SHAMED by the VFW to lower the Flag for a true War Hero. The hypocrisy of this farce of an administration is disgusting.
I haven't bought a pair of Nikes since the early 90s, who could afford them accept thugs who sell drugs on the corner. How many products do you and most Americans buy that was made in a "sweat shop"? A lot, quit virtue signaling.
Yes, it does. Taking a knee disrespects the flag much like flag burning. And no I wouldn't make it illegal. I want America haters to show themselves. I like to know who the America haters are so I can engage in a little peaceful protest of my own (This means you, Nike). The flag belongs to America as a group. Not right or left. All Americans. Disrespecting it disrespects all of us. And doing it for even good political causes is wrong. (Yes, I agree police seeing a Black man as a free-fire zone is repugnantly wrong.)
I stand with Nike! Gandhi was NOT protesting the food, Rosa Parks was NOT protesting the bus, Bostonians were NOT protesting the tea and Kaepernick was NOT protesting the flag, the nat’l anthem or this great country. While I might not agree with doing it in the workplace, it is his right. Social justice for all!
Kat Social Justice for all. Did you get the memo or listen to anything Trevor said! Nike, if you have a pair, they already have your money. So you might as well wear the damn shoes and get your money's worth. PS: You don't know Kaepernick anymore than I know him. So get off your high horse. Go ride your little pony!
This reminds me of that JK Rowling clap back on Twitter. When someone tweeted at her that he was gonna burn his Harry Potter collection, she tweeted back saying, "the fumes from the DVDs might be toxic and I already have your money, so by all means borrow my lighter" 😂
I care. Coming from a military family, myself and my family agree with him. Most Veterans I've spoken to agree that is EXACTLY why they fight. To protect our freedoms. 🇺🇸
I don't know why people are burning the shoes... Nike already got your money 😭😭. Shit, I'm about to buy more Nike gear in the morning because of Colin Kaepernick. People who find kneeling during the national anthem is disrespectful clearly don't know their first amendment. You people saying it's disrespectful to soldiers, but wouldn't do a DAMN to help homeless veterans on the street.
Signs Including, they wouldn't give a used pair of sneakers they don't want anymore to a homeless vet... they'd rather burn them and poison the air even more.
Signs What have you done for a homeless veteran? Perhaps you should take the money you're spending tomorrow and back up your sanctimonious preaching, with action. But we both know you don't give a shit.
I volunteer to help with the VA to get veterans claims to push along because 1% of America ACTUALLY care for them. Also want to add that I've served this country in the U.S Army for 5 years.
Yeah because schools shootings happens all the time and the reason they happen is because some people want attention they want to get a message out so if u don’t talk about it it won’t happen ass much off coarse this isn’t the case all the time tho
Not a Nike fan, but I'll start buying their products because there's nothing wrong with peaceful protests against injustice and discrimination. Taking a knee is not disrespectful, is a sign of respect and humility. Soldiers have served to protect freedoms, and one of these freedoms Americans have, is to protest. Don't use our soldiers to turn people against each other. In my county, we have homeless veterans that need shoes, clothing, food, better health care, so if trumptards respect our soldiers so much why don't they help veterans?
Pat VelVet wtf u libtards are mentally retarded&ill like Trevor Noah talks about how evertything is politicised in this country(like conservatives making everything political) meanwhile liberal supporter Companies like Nike are puting political ads....i don t know sometimes i feel like i am talking with mentally retarded persons when i speak to liberals
mary higgins 🗣The only way for them to make me believe in their cause will be for them to set their Levi’s OR Chevis on fire WHILE they’re still IN em That’s the only way 🤣
Some people (mostly Republicans) do not understand boycotts. It means not buying services/product from the company. Destroying you own stuff means nothing. Nike already has their money.
Stephen Ables NFL attendance has not changed . There is no boycotts - just RWNJ destroying their own property. www.statista.com/statistics/193420/regular-season-attendance-in-the-nfl-since-2006/
Isn't it a bit stupid if people say that they are going to boycott Nike and instead go and buy products from competing companies !? I mean Nike is an American company and the next biggest comparable sport clothing companies are Adidas and Puma and thus instead of supporting the US economy they support the German economy. As a German I absolutely don't mind but it doesn't make a lot of sense ;D
It's just gets me upset because there are kids going to school with holes in their shoes and homeless vets with their shoes falling apart. Yet people are burning their expensive shoes to spite a company.
Jan-Niklas Riezler don't think it really matters. People buy foreign products over American all the time anyway. It's not like there is some allegiance to buying American only products and just now because of this they are no longer gonna buy American only.
Gosling is absolutely right, he just said what Armstrong ALWAYS said in public, that the moonlanding was not a singular achievement, should not be viewed as such, that he was NO hero because he was just a man put on the forefront of a team of many that made it possible, and that this was an achievment for mankind and should be celebrated as such. he never wanted to be instrumentalized as US-hero that conquered the moon. why would we have waited until his death to do just that, how disgraceful would that be? oh, and if you don't think so, just watch his interviews. he was an amazing man. he had a very specific idea of what role he wanted in history, and what he didn't want.
I get you're point, but the moment of him putting the flag is was a American achievement, just because Armstrong didn't want it to be like that specifically, that's just how it went down. The movie also bugs me mainly because it isnt historically accurate and that always bugs me. I'm not gonna boycott tho that's just ridiculous.
@@FriedrichHerschel True, but this particular movie is imitating a important historical event, so i hold it to the standard that it's as accurate as possible without interrupting the story of course.
I've noticed that American people, not all, just those few, believe the best way of hurting a company, is by destroying the products you already own from that company and they believe this makes a statement.....Ya'll throw away food like this too when you decide to boycott a certain brand? You aren't hurting the company, they already got your money, they don't give a damn what you do after you buy it. You would have simply done a better job if you took all your unused items and refunded them and give the used ones to the salvation army or something. Also if you're going to buy them to burn them, don't waste your time going to the store, just take the money out of your wallet and set it on fire at home. That way, Nike won't get it.
oh well Red talk to papa johns racist ass, he first lost customers then he went on a racist rant that cost him his position and picture on the packaging and his image in commercials, then the final blow came when the Indianapolis colts bailed on him and went to pizza hut, which is always better pizza than papa johns. So boycotts do work, as long as enough people participate.
It all depends on the manner approached, there are smart ways and then, you have damaging your own property in order to make a statement. There are many ways to make your point and make your boycott successful, but I doubt if everyone just went to Papa John's, bought the pizza and threw it in a river or down a sewer, it'd be effective, since they would have still put their money into the company. 100 People burning and destroying merchandise they purchased with their own money and buying more to burn is the equivalent of sawing the log you're sitting on.
@@redbandit2261 look at what people did to the Dixie chicks years ago. I remember people burning everything they had of theirs and their sales and sponsors and everything was like they were gone over night. I don't know how many years it took them but they finally came back but they will never make the hype they use to have!
Best hing about people burning shoes is that they never wear them. Also we all know that Nike and many other brands are exploiting children in the non developed country's. So your Nike shoes and clothing that are so expensive in the USA and Europe are counterfeit in China and cost three times less, some times they are even better than the "original". And NIke does not complain about it?
It was a smart move for Nike to capitalize off of Kapernick, and I'm sure it was also good for Kapernick to have a brand side with him.....but the only way that I'd be impressed with Nike is if they donated a percentage of their sales to his cause. I'm not going to burn my shoes, but I'm not going to go out of my way to support them. I'd rather buy less expensive shoes and give the difference directly to his cause. Buying shoes isn't going to help anyone, but Nike.
Come to think of it kneeling is a form of submission. Same in churches during service or communion. So Kaepernick has been respecting the flag all this time. Go figure.
let's be honest. The people with an issue don't care to know this or the reason. They just want to not be inconvenienced with someone drawing attention to injustice that barely affects them directly. Self-centeredness of the administration has trickled down.
Some people: "Burn Nike shoes and boycott that company!" Other people: "Stand by Nike! Buy their stuff!" Me: "...wonder if now would be a good time to get a few stocks in Nike~?"
"All the walls on my home must GOOOOOOOO!!!!" laughed way too hard on that,. But, then again, considering how America looks right now,. Its not far from impossible. 😂
Another fun fact. Nobody of those morons burnt their shoes as Nike was using exploited (sometimes kidnapped) childrens to make them. Same goes with all the slave worker scandal. And NOW they choose to burn their shoes. Those peoples diserve more burning forests, one or two Katrina revivals, and a good dose of spanish flu other that.
Nike does need Republicans money. Because a decrease in sales of 10% is a huge problem. 20% - that's bankruptcy. Don't worry, soon Nike would release another add kissing the Right Wing's ass because Nike is only interested in sales and nothing else. hehe I love how Leftists think it's a 'win'. Nike just want - LOTS OF MONEY! They are the opposite of 'socialists'. hehehehehehe
@@TheEntilza What rubbish. You think that all the executives at Nike would not have foreseen any sort of repercussion. It's obvious that they concluded that the campaign would be worth it though. How many hillbillies do you get that supported Nike to begin with anyway? They prefer their denims and boots. Nike will lose a little no doubt but I'm sure they know where their bread is buttered by now.
Adam Price its only a matter of time they gonna take over like u took over from the indians and you aint gonna do shit about it. Do all u can, we taking over!

If you changed the slogan to "Just Do Her" and tossed a T-shirt on an attractive cousin, they'd be all down with Nike. (I was gonna go dark with that joke, but left it at that)
Are you kidding me? It's pathetic when you boycott Nike for this. But it's equal pathetic do buy things for that reason. A senior citizen behaving like an angry teenager and saying "I'm a white senior citizen", must be a fake account. Identity politics like that is mostly millennials because they think everything is race and race is everything.
I've got an old print photo from my childhood, me at the Serra da Estrela in Portugal, wearning Nikes and a New Yorker T-shirt. Sounds like the right time to use it as my profile pic.
Saw this on the news last night. I'm not American, so I may get backlash for commenting. I found it really weird that ryan Gosling was called an unpatriotic idiot by fox news presenters because the flag placement wasnt in the movie. Ummm hes an actor, theres no way that it was his decision to not include that scene in the movie. Hes a really hot, very talented actor, but hes not the director or editing or production team in charge of picking the scenes that go into the movie.
Is easy to you to point how stupid they were because you're not American.. But we don't need your insights Miss Foreigner! We drive V8's burn our shoes..
This reminds me when Trevor confronted Tomi Lahren with this, "So here's a black man in America, I don't how to get a message across, If I march in the streets people say I'm a thug, If I go out and I protest people say that it's a riot, If I bend down on one knee, then it's... What is the right way for a black person to get attention in America?" Now if brands intervention to that political issue is 'still' not the right way either, back to that question.
All four, ignorant as fuck. Stop inbreeding, stop shooting up heroin, stop killing one another (you know, since every demographic deals with It's own inter violent crimes). Home schooling and sheltered neighborhoods sure did fail you guys.
wow. wanting the police *the people the civilians are meant to trust* to stop killing innocent people is a problem?? why is black on black crime which is mostly gang related activity, brought up in talks of police brutality?? is this your way to deflect? There is also white on white crime, but i wouldn't bring that up in discussion of the alarming declining population of white america, most of which is due to declining birth rate, suicide, drug use, alcoholism and other crimes....there is no correlation.
It wasn't too long ago that republicans were boycotting Keurig and smashing their Keurigs up - now Keurig's (Dr. Pepper/Green Mountain) Stock is at an all time high.

Is this the Sean Hannity one? Cause I remember that Sean Hannity then had to tell his viewers to stop boycotting/destroyinb the cooler because Yeti is actually his show's sponsor.
@kcotte59 I missed the comment you replied to, but based on the context of your response: This boycott seems pointless to me. It's not like they're returning all their clothes to Nike and getting their money back. They're literally destroying their own property as a symbolic movement. Nike might lose a bit of money from followers of the boycott, but there are still plenty of people who will buy their stuff, so I don't think Nike will be too affected
kcotte59 lol as if all democrats are brainless idiots who don’t work. Quit labeling everybody. People are shitty regardless of their political views. And before you start screaming “libtard snowflake” at me, I am neither democrat or republican. As if that matters. I feel sorry for ya mate. Lighten up a little
Of course not. The reason the flag's not in the movie is because they want to distribute it in CHINA! They don't want the Chinese to ban the movie because of the American flag. It is that cynical a move on the filmmaker's part.
realmadridfn04 I think he should have just made an excuse like they lost it or something instead of trying to make it political. He says "I don't think he viewed himself" that means he doesn't know. I personally would not mind if the flag was missing but now that he has given the reason, it has me ticked off. It was an American achievement (with the help of German scientists and engineers). The rest of the world did not pitch in for the program (besides those German experts).

I have heard it expressed before that taking a knee during the national anthem is a terrible thing to do because soldiers fought and died so that people had that right in the first place. As a former U.S. Army soldier myself, I am pretty sure that is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. I am not unappreciative of support for the troops but the flag and national anthem are not cues for jingoistic military worship.
Schmengie Pat VelVet "to honor America please remove your caps and stand". Yea nothing disrespectful about doing the exact opposite of what is being asked to do to honor America. I'm really just curious how this thought has not entered you head? He could protest so many other ways. Hell he could even protest doing the same thing but why in the world would he choose that 1 minute to kneel. Just 1 minutes your asked to stand to honor America and he chooses to kneel during that moment. How can you possibly not see that as blatant and intentional disrespect towards the country?
The richest ones would it all. It would become an Plutocracy, (or a dictatorship masquerading as a democracy with Plutarchs under and working with said dictator like Putin's Russia. Basically take China's air and Russia's government.).

I can't stand tRump or his cult of greed and hate, but his 'presidency' is clearly worth it's weight in comedic gold. I'm still laughing even as I type.
I sit during the national anthem because it contains lyrics about slavery-- not out of disrespect to Veterans or the American flag, but because I'm against having the official song of the "Land of the Free" being written by slave owners and condoning slavery. Anyone who doesn't get that and still has a problem with Black America's disdain for that song... is making it crystal clear how they feel about slavery and Black people. Thanks for revealing your true colors-- must be pretty hot under those white sheets.

"Facing mounting pressure, _The New Yorker_ has dropped plans to interview Steve Bannon during its festival, next month." Why the hell is a prominent news outlet still trying to give Steve Bannon national attention? Trump plucked him from obscurity after perceiving him to be useful, and in so doing, made me aware that he existed. Since then, Trump has _fired_ Steve Bannon and Bannon subsequently _returned_ to obscurity. How in the world did he arrange this interview? Why is it so hard to just _leave_ Bannon in obscurity?
I mean, the New Yorker has interviewed convicted war criminals, terrorists, and other horrible people before and gotten some great articles out of it. The dumb move was doing it as part of a live event where Bannon's bullshit can't immediately be put in context by research and citations, and giving him another stage to spew from.
It was a long couple of weeks without any talk show hosts on air to make fun of Trump, but we survived it. Now I'm going to get my popcorn and watch Trump get roasted over and over again.

@@trask5909 Wouldn't it be smarter to protest directly at Nike's office, rather than support the company by purchasing items only to burn them? Then your left with a wasted $70 you can no longer use to help buy groceries.
Why burn the shoes? Nike has your money and you don’t have shoes. Who is really winning? Now if they were protesting child labor and actually did something effective, I could get behind that.
I’ve noticed this years ago and it’s become kind of a private game I play, where I try to find the American flag in movies....it’s gotten to the point where I actually try to find movies that lack the flag. It’s harder to find a movie without the flag than with...
I think the commercial is great. It shows someone was actually listening and watching to what has been going on. Close minnded people took his protest and turned it into a shit show. They totally disregarded his protest because it made them uncomfortable. So instead of addressing the reason for his protest they chose to make the conversation about how he chose voice his protest. How did the the focus become about the flag. We let the KKK a known hate group march in our streets protected by the law. But when black people try to rally themselves for a righteous case we have batons, tear gas, waterhoses and dogs set upon us BY THE LAW. Why is it different when it comes to us ?
What does the American flag have to do with "police brutality"? I mean, if you're going to protest something, it should have SOMETHING to do with your message, right?
"I'm so enraged by an ad that I will burn my $200 shoes, that will teach those snowflakes and sjw how to behave". I'm so amazed by those conservatives that I reckon they deserve a scientific study (that they will deny later ...cause it's science, that's what they do). Why do you think that destroying your own property will do something to change Nike's way of doing advertising?
It's because they've never had to protest something that was actually important so they don't know how. Like when they protested Starbucks having red cups by buying even more coffee. They're not pushing for social change, they're throwing a tantrum.
@@nomisunrider6472 That makes sense. Wait! They protested Starbucks by buying more coffee? Somebody has to teach them to protest. This is just ridiculous.
rasjeff1 Yeah they thought that Starbucks making red cups was part of the "war on Christmas" so they decided to protest by buying coffee and saying their names were "merry christmas" so the employees would have to tell them "merry christmas".

I don't know why people are burning the shoes... Nike already got your money 😭😭. Shit, I'm about to buy more Nike gear in the morning because of Colin Kaepernick. People who find kneeling during the national anthem is disrespectful clearly don't know their first amendment. You people saying it's disrespectful to soldiers, but wouldn't do a DAMN to help homeless veterans on the street.
Signs Including, they wouldn't give a used pair of sneakers they don't want anymore to a homeless vet... they'd rather burn them and poison the air even more.
Preach my brother

What have you done for a homeless veteran? Perhaps you should take the money you're spending tomorrow and back up your sanctimonious preaching, with action. But we both know you don't give a shit.
I volunteer to help with the VA to get veterans claims to push along because 1% of America ACTUALLY care for them. Also want to add that I've served this country in the U.S Army for 5 years.

Imagine a country where a Shoe ad is more controversial than a school shooting!
You have just stepped into....The Twilight Zone, USA!
Yeah because schools shootings happens all the time and the reason they happen is because some people want attention they want to get a message out so if u don’t talk about it it won’t happen ass much off coarse this isn’t the case all the time tho
It's scary...
Yeah, I always thought... Why American loves guns more than innocence kids 🤔
@@rahnumakhan5234 Are you saying Americans aren't innocent? 🤔
Not a Nike fan, but I'll start buying their products because there's nothing wrong with peaceful protests against injustice and discrimination. Taking a knee is not disrespectful, is a sign of respect and humility. Soldiers have served to protect freedoms, and one of these freedoms Americans have, is to protest. Don't use our soldiers to turn people against each other. In my county, we have homeless veterans that need shoes, clothing, food, better health care, so if trumptards respect our soldiers so much why don't they help veterans?
Pat VelVet wtf u libtards are mentally retarded&ill like Trevor Noah talks about how evertything is politicised in this country(like conservatives making everything political) meanwhile liberal supporter Companies like Nike are puting political ads....i don t know sometimes i feel like i am talking with mentally retarded persons when i speak to liberals

Some people (mostly Republicans) do not understand boycotts. It means not buying services/product from the company.
Destroying you own stuff means nothing. Nike already has their money.
Duh thats why you steal and burn

Nike is a white owned company. Whitey still wins out.
And yet another opportunity to exploit most ignorant within the black community.

NFL attendance has not changed . There is no boycotts - just RWNJ destroying their own property.

Isn't it a bit stupid if people say that they are going to boycott Nike and instead go and buy products from competing companies !? I mean Nike is an American company and the next biggest comparable sport clothing companies are Adidas and Puma and thus instead of supporting the US economy they support the German economy. As a German I absolutely don't mind but it doesn't make a lot of sense ;D
Yeah, but a random Russian posing as a veteran on the internet told them to do it so. . .they gotta do it, ya know?
trumpers are not known for common sense.
It's almost as if they believe in party over country
It's just gets me upset because there are kids going to school with holes in their shoes and homeless vets with their shoes falling apart. Yet people are burning their expensive shoes to spite a company.
Jan-Niklas Riezler don't think it really matters. People buy foreign products over American all the time anyway. It's not like there is some allegiance to buying American only products and just now because of this they are no longer gonna buy American only.
Gosling is absolutely right, he just said what Armstrong ALWAYS said in public, that the moonlanding was not a singular achievement, should not be viewed as such, that he was NO hero because he was just a man put on the forefront of a team of many that made it possible, and that this was an achievment for mankind and should be celebrated as such.
he never wanted to be instrumentalized as US-hero that conquered the moon. why would we have waited until his death to do just that, how disgraceful would that be?
oh, and if you don't think so, just watch his interviews. he was an amazing man. he had a very specific idea of what role he wanted in history, and what he didn't want.
I get you're point, but the moment of him putting the flag is was a American achievement, just because Armstrong didn't want it to be like that specifically, that's just how it went down. The movie also bugs me mainly because it isnt historically accurate and that always bugs me. I'm not gonna boycott tho that's just ridiculous.
It's a movie, not a documentary. I expect movies to be inacurate to some extend.
@@FriedrichHerschel
True, but this particular movie is imitating a important historical event, so i hold it to the standard that it's as accurate as possible without interrupting the story of course.
It'll be what happened to George Washington all over again. Oh how he would weep at what our political system has become...
So are we "flag washing" the history now - because he DID plant the flag, you know......that racist, sexist, patriarchal symbol!
I've noticed that American people, not all, just those few, believe the best way of hurting a company, is by destroying the products you already own from that company and they believe this makes a statement.....Ya'll throw away food like this too when you decide to boycott a certain brand? You aren't hurting the company, they already got your money, they don't give a damn what you do after you buy it. You would have simply done a better job if you took all your unused items and refunded them and give the used ones to the salvation army or something. Also if you're going to buy them to burn them, don't waste your time going to the store, just take the money out of your wallet and set it on fire at home. That way, Nike won't get it.
oh well Red talk to papa johns racist ass, he first lost customers then he went on a racist rant that cost him his position and picture on the packaging and his image in commercials, then the final blow came when the Indianapolis colts bailed on him and went to pizza hut, which is always better pizza than papa johns. So boycotts do work, as long as enough people participate.
It all depends on the manner approached, there are smart ways and then, you have damaging your own property in order to make a statement. There are many ways to make your point and make your boycott successful, but I doubt if everyone just went to Papa John's, bought the pizza and threw it in a river or down a sewer, it'd be effective, since they would have still put their money into the company. 100 People burning and destroying merchandise they purchased with their own money and buying more to burn is the equivalent of sawing the log you're sitting on.
@@redbandit2261 look at what people did to the Dixie chicks years ago. I remember people burning everything they had of theirs and their sales and sponsors and everything was like they were gone over night. I don't know how many years it took them but they finally came back but they will never make the hype they use to have!
Best hing about people burning shoes is that they never wear them. Also we all know that Nike and many other brands are exploiting children in the non developed country's. So your Nike shoes and clothing that are so expensive in the USA and Europe are counterfeit in China and cost three times less, some times they are even better than the "original". And NIke does not complain about it?
Fun fact nike makes the most common and frequently bought military boot...

Burning something after you bought it , classy.
You obviously have never been to a dispensary.
I think its completely stupid.
@@blackbruno50 😂😂😂😂 good one!
Instead of donating the Nike gear to the homeless at least.😕
Well technically its their property after they buy it so they can legally burn it. Also they are idiots who are basically burning money .
It was a smart move for Nike to capitalize off of Kapernick, and I'm sure it was also good for Kapernick to have a brand side with him.....but the only way that I'd be impressed with Nike is if they donated a percentage of their sales to his cause.
I'm not going to burn my shoes, but I'm not going to go out of my way to support them. I'd rather buy less expensive shoes and give the difference directly to his cause. Buying shoes isn't going to help anyone, but Nike.
We then maybe you should do your homework and find out what NIKE does for communities.

I have family in the army and military boots are made by Nike 😂😂😂😂

I did not know that! Now lets see what happens!
I'm sure conservatives are lining up to burn the shoes off the troops feet for the implication of disrespecting the troops.
Omg I didn't know that. That's awesome.
Thx for the info. I'll be using it as much as possible lol
So they're burning Nike gear that they already bought? Why not donate their shoes, socks, and clothes to the homeless and people in need?
Because they may end up on a minority or two and that would make their heads explode

Kneeling is how servicemen honor their fallen brethren. Fact. 🇺🇸
Exactly.👍
Come to think of it kneeling is a form of submission. Same in churches during service or communion.
So Kaepernick has been respecting the flag all this time.
Go figure.
kulhuk 7 His name is Nate Boyer
His kneeling had absolutely nothing to do with servicemen.
#fact
let's be honest. The people with an issue don't care to know this or the reason. They just want to not be inconvenienced with someone drawing attention to injustice that barely affects them directly. Self-centeredness of the administration has trickled down.
Some people: "Burn Nike shoes and boycott that company!"
Other people: "Stand by Nike! Buy their stuff!"
Me: "...wonder if now would be a good time to get a few stocks in Nike~?"

Lol Nike don't need their money but it's funny they burning Nike items they already bought funny.
Mention this to a rightwingers and laugh at the Forest Gumpesque. Stares
Another fun fact. Nobody of those morons burnt their shoes as Nike was using exploited (sometimes kidnapped) childrens to make them. Same goes with all the slave worker scandal.
And NOW they choose to burn their shoes. Those peoples diserve more burning forests, one or two Katrina revivals, and a good dose of spanish flu other that.
Nike does need Republicans money. Because a decrease in sales of 10% is a huge problem. 20% - that's bankruptcy. Don't worry, soon Nike would release another add kissing the Right Wing's ass because Nike is only interested in sales and nothing else. hehe I love how Leftists think it's a 'win'. Nike just want - LOTS OF MONEY! They are the opposite of 'socialists'. hehehehehehe
@@TheEntilza What rubbish. You think that all the executives at Nike would not have foreseen any sort of repercussion. It's obvious that they concluded that the campaign would be worth it though. How many hillbillies do you get that supported Nike to begin with anyway? They prefer their denims and boots. Nike will lose a little no doubt but I'm sure they know where their bread is buttered by now.

Well, then you will have to buy them elsewhere.
The guts? They know they're going to make millions if not billions off of this
Are you kidding me? It's pathetic when you boycott Nike for this. But it's equal pathetic do buy things for that reason. A senior citizen behaving like an angry teenager and saying "I'm a white senior citizen", must be a fake account. Identity politics like that is mostly millennials because they think everything is race and race is everything.

Saw this on the news last night. I'm not American, so I may get backlash for commenting. I found it really weird that ryan Gosling was called an unpatriotic idiot by fox news presenters because the flag placement wasnt in the movie. Ummm hes an actor, theres no way that it was his decision to not include that scene in the movie. Hes a really hot, very talented actor, but hes not the director or editing or production team in charge of picking the scenes that go into the movie.
sarah sonal He’s also Canadian...
sarah sonal you may find this surprising but I doubt they understand how a movie is made 🤣
They are stupid that's why! Really really stupid.
The average Fox News viewer doesn't know how movies work. Don't let this reflect your overall view of America or Americans.
Is easy to you to point how stupid they were because you're not American.. But we don't need your insights Miss Foreigner! We drive V8's burn our shoes..
This reminds me when Trevor confronted Tomi Lahren with this, "So here's a black man in America, I don't how to get a message across, If I march in the streets people say I'm a thug, If I go out and I protest people say that it's a riot, If I bend down on one knee, then it's... What is the right way for a black person to get attention in America?"
Now if brands intervention to that political issue is 'still' not the right way either, back to that question.
I don't think that's why people used words like "riot"
Blacks are their own worst enemy.
Um keep shooting each other but blame it on the police hahaha do some homework stop following
All four, ignorant as fuck. Stop inbreeding, stop shooting up heroin, stop killing one another (you know, since every demographic deals with It's own inter violent crimes). Home schooling and sheltered neighborhoods sure did fail you guys.
wow. wanting the police *the people the civilians are meant to trust* to stop killing innocent people is a problem?? why is black on black crime which is mostly gang related activity, brought up in talks of police brutality?? is this your way to deflect? There is also white on white crime, but i wouldn't bring that up in discussion of the alarming declining population of white america, most of which is due to declining birth rate, suicide, drug use, alcoholism and other crimes....there is no correlation.

A hilarious point!
Which totally rocks, in my opinion. :-)
@kcotte59 I missed the comment you replied to, but based on the context of your response: This boycott seems pointless to me. It's not like they're returning all their clothes to Nike and getting their money back. They're literally destroying their own property as a symbolic movement. Nike might lose a bit of money from followers of the boycott, but there are still plenty of people who will buy their stuff, so I don't think Nike will be too affected

Of course not. The reason the flag's not in the movie is because they want to distribute it in CHINA! They don't want the Chinese to ban the movie because of the American flag. It is that cynical a move on the filmmaker's part.
realmadridfn04 I think he should have just made an excuse like they lost it or something instead of trying to make it political. He says "I don't think he viewed himself" that means he doesn't know. I personally would not mind if the flag was missing but now that he has given the reason, it has me ticked off. It was an American achievement (with the help of German scientists and engineers). The rest of the world did not pitch in for the program (besides those German experts).

I have heard it expressed before that taking a knee during the national anthem is a terrible thing to do because soldiers fought and died so that people had that right in the first place.
As a former U.S. Army soldier myself, I am pretty sure that is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.
I am not unappreciative of support for the troops but the flag and national anthem are not cues for jingoistic military worship.
Schmengie Pat VelVet "to honor America please remove your caps and stand". Yea nothing disrespectful about doing the exact opposite of what is being asked to do to honor America. I'm really just curious how this thought has not entered you head? He could protest so many other ways. Hell he could even protest doing the same thing but why in the world would he choose that 1 minute to kneel. Just 1 minutes your asked to stand to honor America and he chooses to kneel during that moment. How can you possibly not see that as blatant and intentional disrespect towards the country?

Umm and those same democrats left the party and became republican and took their beliefs with them: www.salon.com/2016/03/04/why_republicans_blaming_democrats_for_the_kkk_are_profoundly_wrong/
Um... there was literally *no* mention of partisan alignment in that comment. Doesn't matter if +Aly Jiselle is a Rep. or Dem. what matters is the content of the anthem.
@@imari2305 That's a Democrat lie! The Republican party was helped by freed slaves dummy.
They are forcing my child to pledge allegiance but at least they are not forcing him to stand
I think I now have an excuse to buy some Jordans on the next drop 🤔
susiq1121 lol jordan is a sub brand of Nike
susiq1121 You and me both!
Jordan’s are not the same as Nike, fyi. Michael himself famously said “republicans buy shoes too”...
Jordan supports kap so thank you! 👏👏👏👏👏
they're saying it in a good way haha like they now they a better excuse to spend the money
Well, the Nike share is 79 bucks now.. maybe it’s time i buy some 🤔🤔
How can Trevor n Colbert be on holiday at the same time? I missed them so much to get me through this news cycles. 😊😊😊
And Seth too!
Not every single segment is as great as the others. But this was gold
Do these people even know why he took a knee in the first place ??
They do. But in their zeal to condemn the protest and demand football be played, they've ignored the reason.
To virtue signal to his BLM girlfriend and get laid.
Trace ToyZ They either don't care, stupid, or just racist individuals.
Bannon has the right to espouse whatever hateful nonsense he wants, but he doesn't have the right to be free of the consequences.
Josh Wilson I think Bannon is trash, but I don’t think you fully understand what freedom of speech means... 😂
He also isn't owed a platform and mic, which a lot of "free speech absolutists" don't understand.
Emily Rodriguez I think they do understand. It’s a choice to give him a platform... which is an even scarier bit.
Gareth De Bruyn wtf this just shows how low intelligence you are So “commercial speach” is not covered by the law?how in the name of jesus christ you get to this conclusion,and do you realise that offensivd speech is such subjective notion...like just in a totalitarist regime you can make offensive speech “illegal”,you realise how the term offensive its So interpretable,for me it could mean one thing for you another,there isn t Even no clear definition of the word
gushanana free speech should be without consequences,with some exceptions like threathening to kill somebody or a group of person or to do real Harm to them
"Facing mounting pressure, _The New Yorker_ has dropped plans to interview Steve Bannon during its festival, next month."
Why the hell is a prominent news outlet still trying to give Steve Bannon national attention? Trump plucked him from obscurity after perceiving him to be useful, and in so doing, made me aware that he existed. Since then, Trump has _fired_ Steve Bannon and Bannon subsequently _returned_ to obscurity. How in the world did he arrange this interview? Why is it so hard to just _leave_ Bannon in obscurity?
I mean, the New Yorker has interviewed convicted war criminals, terrorists, and other horrible people before and gotten some great articles out of it. The dumb move was doing it as part of a live event where Bannon's bullshit can't immediately be put in context by research and citations, and giving him another stage to spew from.
I'm finna buy myself hella Nikes. And a Kaepernick Jersey to go with them.
So you like to lose
J Sim loose what?
Welcome back Trevor
Thanks to those racist from now on every neakers I buy is going to be Nike
😃😃😃😃😃😃
If you want to support a company that uses third world country slave labor, sure.
What makes them racists to point out fakery and hypocrisy?!?
That's showing those patriots...er...I mean racists!!!
Nike is exploiting a police brutality issue for profit and you all are supporting it. Shame on you. Shame on Nike
I never owned Nike's, now I have to go buy some!!
Lol
Then take them strolling up on MLK Boulevard and see who shoots you first, a gangster or a cop.
fuck Nike . Go Adidas woooooooh ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I had a pair back in the early 80's. You know when they were reasonably priced
Why? To make Nike more money? That’s the only thing they care of. Those shoes are still made by childeren in Vietnam .
The Handmaid's tale is seeming more and more plausible as a future for 'Murica...
It was a long couple of weeks without any talk show hosts on air to make fun of Trump, but we survived it. Now I'm going to get my popcorn and watch Trump get roasted over and over again.
Hammad Ali they should really coordinate their breaks. Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert and John Oliver were on break as well! I almost lost my mind. I’m so happy now though! Patience is a virtue.
I was having withdrawals. It was getting bad. And what a time for them all to be gone! With guilty pleas and convictions and indictments and whatnot.
Trevor: "I don't understand why conservatives are so angry..."
Me: It's all they know
Not angry enough to destroy other people's property though right? i wonder who does that? Trevor Noah-Brains is the angriest little elf of a man of all.
@@trask5909
Wouldn't it be smarter to protest directly at Nike's office, rather than support the company by purchasing items only to burn them? Then your left with a wasted $70 you can no longer use to help buy groceries.
Spectra Light they were probably old shoes
Americans on all sides seem angry. Why we don't all work together for the benefit of everyone is beyond me
@@spectralight8412 That would make sense, but look at what were dealing with.
I love going through the comments and reporting any and everyone who has used racial slurs. Better than keyboard arguments. ☺️
Luke Alsup Nah you get a life
You are doing the lord's work.
This will take a long time, so many bigots here.
@Luke Alsup it was, because your not worth much more then that.
@@Avalanche616 🤣
Best simplistic but effective, classy, and accurate comment. Witty without race, obscenities, or looking ignorant!
👑🤝🏼🔥 Well played!
I love Trevor’s air guitar playing!
Believe in something even if it means sacrificing everything Just do it 😁😁
Too ambiguous. Not sure which side you fall on
Unfortunately, only few of us have those convictions
Go Nike! You have a new customer!
Why burn the shoes? Nike has your money and you don’t have shoes. Who is really winning? Now if they were protesting child labor and actually did something effective, I could get behind that.
Trump's apparel was made in China, Thailand and Bangladesh by the same child labor.
Why aren't you protesting child labor then??
I’ve noticed this years ago and it’s become kind of a private game I play, where I try to find the American flag in movies....it’s gotten to the point where I actually try to find movies that lack the flag. It’s harder to find a movie without the flag than with...
I think the commercial is great. It shows someone was actually listening and watching to what has been going on. Close minnded people took his protest and turned it into a shit show. They totally disregarded his protest because it made them uncomfortable. So instead of addressing the reason for his protest they chose to make the conversation about how he chose voice his protest. How did the the focus become about the flag. We let the KKK a known hate group march in our streets protected by the law. But when black people try to rally themselves for a righteous case we have batons, tear gas, waterhoses and dogs set upon us BY THE LAW. Why is it different when it comes to us ?
What are you trying to say ? I don't get it.
@@anthonyferguson7259 you really didn't get it ?
@@beez6964 I'm slow
What does the American flag have to do with "police brutality"? I mean, if you're going to protest something, it should have SOMETHING to do with your message, right?
If you block streets, refuse to move, and get violent, you better damn well believe the police will stop you.
It's a pretty simple concept.
Kneeling is more respectful than standing. Everyone should kneel.
joe ramone So did your mother!
I believe that Nike will sell more outside of America just because of the ad.
Haha, just bought one yesterday and I live in Bali. So you are right.
Because of the Ad*
For sure in China
Roxann Webbe, Thank you, I hate when that happens to me 😂
the shoe disrespects the troops, muahahahaha
"I'm so enraged by an ad that I will burn my $200 shoes, that will teach those snowflakes and sjw how to behave". I'm so amazed by those conservatives that I reckon they deserve a scientific study (that they will deny later ...cause it's science, that's what they do). Why do you think that destroying your own property will do something to change Nike's way of doing advertising?
rasjeff1 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's because they've never had to protest something that was actually important so they don't know how. Like when they protested Starbucks having red cups by buying even more coffee. They're not pushing for social change, they're throwing a tantrum.
@@nomisunrider6472 That makes sense.
Wait! They protested Starbucks by buying more coffee? Somebody has to teach them to protest. This is just ridiculous.
rasjeff1 Yeah they thought that Starbucks making red cups was part of the "war on Christmas" so they decided to protest by buying coffee and saying their names were "merry christmas" so the employees would have to tell them "merry christmas".
@@nomisunrider6472 yeahh...they don't think things through
This guy is a comic genius
You don't really need to be a comic genius when you have people burning their own shoes because an nfl player knelt during the anthem. The absurdity of it is funny enough as it is.
The moonlanding was so American that a German engeneer had to build there rocket(Werner von Braun)
R W lol ikr
In actual fact, it wasn’t an American mission the moon mission was a nazis program all they did was take off the swatzikas and replace it with the American flag but hey ignorance they say is bliss
@@fullmetalprism5249 oh wow really . You learn something new everyday.
Fusena Habib how did you get to this conclusion?wtf libtards have ape intelligence
Lalla McKeyz read on operation paper clip
It documents how the nazis scientists were pardoned and made American citizens
NASA was the brain child of Werner von Braun - the father of rockery and his teacher Hermann Oberth

Go read on “operation paper clip”
That raccoon joke cracked me up! 😂🤣😂🤣
