I am def. boycotting nike

NKE down another 1.50, now 76.85. It has a gap to fill so it could go to about 72.00. This is not an investment advice. Please don't forget your due diligence!

I just read this online and thought I would share!

دوستان خوبم

الان داشتم بیانیه نایک رو برای تیم ملی ایران میخوندم و تفسیری که وکلای امریکایی در مورد کار زشت نایک در شب قبل از مسابقه تیم ملی انجام داده بود بررسی میکردم
کار نایک اصلا به تحریم ها بستگی نداشته چون طبق قانون میتونسته از OFAC پروانه بگیره و حتی در تمام این مدت تحریم ها نایک این پروانه رو داشته و از همه مهمتر هنوز تحریم ها شروع نشده است
این عمل سیاسی بوده و طبق قوانین فیفا سیاست نباید در ورزش فوتبال مداخله کنه

من به این فکر میکردم که چطور شد ما به این راحتی اجازاه میدیم یه کمپانی به تیم ملی و شخصیت ایرانی توهین کنه
کشورهای زیادی تحریم شدند ولی اولین باریست که تیم ملی کشوری را اینقدر حقیر فرض میکنند
ولی کاش همه باهم متحد میشدیم و یکپارچه کالاهای نایک را چه در داخل و چه در خارج از ایران تحریم میکردیم تا کمپانی نایک عذرخواهی کند

تنها راه گرفتن حق ایرانی و احراز هویت ملی اتحاد و یکپارچگی است

بیایید کمپین من نایک نمیخرم رو برای همه ایرانی ها در سراسر جهان اغاز کنیم

شخصیت ایران و هویت ملی مان را پس بگیریم
من تو تمام گروه ها گذاشتم و شما هم همین لطف رو بکنید

Cannot like this enough!!! May be more members can pick a signature like mine and use it on different platforms.

Indeed. F*** Nike.
Also I am looking for new football cleats. Adidas and Puma are too narrow for my feet - any good recommendations besides Nike?
Is Underarmour any good?

Here is my 2 cents:
If you have wide feet, Diadora, NB, and Asics have some options for you. However, I really recommend Kangaroo Leather shoes. Get them half a size small, they stretch and fit like a glove, even if you have wide feet. Please note that Kangaroo leather is banned in California. Sometimes, companies sell the Kangaroo leather shoes under the name K-Leather. It is the same thing.

K-Leather is a bit lighter than regular leather. When you buy any leather shoe, do a pre-treatment with mink oil or something similar. It will repel water, will not get heavy if you play in rain, and in general will make the shoe last much longer. Several companies including Adidas, Diadora have K-Leather shoes, but they are usually more pricey.

I am wondering if now is the time to point out Nike's hypocrisy with regards to their new Colin Kaepernick ad campaign.

For one it's stand for what you believe in...including a social political stance yet for our boys it's let's punish you for your country of origin.

That's exactly what I was thinking about. Unfortunately many civil rights activists and leaders in the U.S. do not see the necessity of international unity and solidarity agains racism. A company that is ready to align with the racist Trump administration and ban our players from getting cleats as if they could be used for military or even nuclear weaponry purposes has no right to claim that it stands on the side of racial justice in the U.S. That is hypocrisy! I wish Colin could see that and not sign such deals. Nike is trying to use the issue and Black purchasing power to boost its profits.

This is purely a cynical ploy by Nike, trying to cash in on unpopularity of Trump. His base is not exactly the type to fork over $100 for sneakers because some black athlete (whom most of them resent anyway) is advertising it. So they are not losing any market share and probably will do very well with the young, sneaker-buying crowd.

Screw Nike. If they had any morals, they would make sure the very people making their shoes do not work in modern slavery conditions.

Not only their deplorable working conditions, but what they did to our boys - I will never forget it. They can distinguish between Islamic Republic and Team Melli. That was meant to make all Iranians look bad with their provocative statement.

I love Colin for what he's done, but now - the protest is being used as a commercial tool.

Nike looking after their own asses.

I just finished a long conversation with one of my clueless American friends who kept defending Nike when I brought up Nike boycotting our boys from wearing their cleats. It was as if I was speaking to a brick wall.

I do understand how Americans who are not Iranian-Americans forgot and frankly don't care about Team Melli. I see that. But to defend and deny what Nike did to our team is just ignorant.

Nike show their true colors by playing both sides of the fence. The hypocrisy.

Dear Nike,

I do not care about your brand anymore and will do absolutely everything in my power to prevent people I know from purchasing any of your sporting wear/equipment.

You are a disgrace in the Sports Brand community for your hypocrisy and dishonesty. Karma will hit hard when the time is right

Colin is a SJW brainwashed low talent fool. Nike just cares about the bottom line. I'll be buying Adidas next.

Not like Adidas treated us much better.
