Nike recalls trainers. So is the Betsy Ross flag racist?

Or maybe they do need the financial incentives....

Nike's North America sales fail to impress, shares slip - Reuters

This is starting to make sense....their stock is dropping, what strategy can they use to boost sales?

How about some hardcore virtue signaling? Unveil plans for a shoe adorned with flag from "slavery times"....ask Colin what he thinks....then announce the shoe won't be made after stirring controversy over whether flag is racist....thereby virtue signaling "maximum wokeness".

Await money of suckers.

It is indeed depressing how Pavlovian doggish and sadly predictable right wing poutrage is. Because in the absence of the poutrage, this marketing strategy would fail.

If they're doing so well then I'm sure they don't really need those financial incentives to open a manufacturing plant.

Right, that's how it works. Aren't you the keen business strategist. Well done.

Would it? Do you think people are buying Nike out of spite?

What exactly are you arguing? That when Colin and Nike trash talk the US....the government should respond by cutting them deals they don't need?

Where did you land on the flag anyway? Racist or not? And how about the Nike Swoosh? Would that be a symbol of child labor, bonded servitude, and sweatshops?
