Trump called this Nike's biggest mistake ever.

What happend?
Nike share prices have increased like 36% since, and sales have never been better for them.

The reaction to the ad campaign fell into two camps:

1. Those who support Kaepernick's cause and oppose the poor treatment he has been given by Trump and his supporters. They buy Nike products as a token of support and to stick it to Trump and his supporters.

2. Those who support Trump and his smear campaign. They buy Nike products to burn them in order to show support for their own cause. Now of course that isn't a logical thing to do, to make a company you are against richer by buying their products. But if Trump's supporters were levelheaded people, they wouldn't be Trump's supporters in the first place.

That was fantastic :) I had a good chuckle reading it.
