Our Soundman just cut the Nike swoosh off his socks. Former marine. Get ready @Nike multiply that by the millions.

7:02 PM - Sep 3, 2018

OK, let me get this straight: idiot RWNJs are cutting the Nike logo off products they already bought and paid for!

Yeah, that'll show Nike.

[KCDebbie]

1. Lol!

[Roy Rolling]

75. Non-Union Soundman, I Presume

Every other soundman I know, all professionals, wouldn't work for a moron like that. Maybe they exist somewhere. But if I see one with his Nike socks cut up, he'll be making a personal political statement he should have kept personal.

[KCDebbie]

86. Screw personal political statements! But the simple truth is that

Any Nike product with the swoosh cut out is still a Nike product... That the idiot has already paid for!

[maddiemom]

135. And what are they doing with their SHOES?

[populistdriven]

151. http://kaepernick7.com

[HopeAgain]

2. Nike has survived boycotts before

At least this time they are on the right side.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. LOL! Idiots.

"Yeah! Think I'll go ruin my own personal property that I paid for to show those libs what's what! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!"

[helpisontheway]

8. 😂😂😂😂😂😂nt

[mcar]

13. These people are so stupid!

[dflprincess]

36. I'll bet he smashed his Keurig

after the company pulled its ads from Hannity's show.

[Initech]

126. And probably burned his NFL merchandise and season tickets.

[The Genealogist]

77. Wait til it is a car company

They'll probably try to drive their cars into walls.

[RoBear]

133. omfg!

[stpetegreg]

134. and since

wearing a seat belt is an affront to their freedumb, all the better!

[CincyDem]

4. If he was really a former marine, he'd know...

...he dedicated some part of his life to protecting kaeperniks right to do exactly what he did.

So, f’ck em if they want to cut socks (which, btw, is such a manly form of protest).

[mcar]

14. +1000!

[Cha]

53. Excellent post, CincyDem. Soundman is just showing

off his brainwashed idiocy.

[lastlib]

83. well, ya gotta expect flashes of genius from guys with a sixth-grade edjimication...!

...and second-grade social development.......

[helpisontheway]

5. 😂😂😂😂😂 nt

[NanceGreggs]

6. Reminds me of the days ...

... when RWers were boycotting French wine - by going out and buying it, and then publicly pouring it down sewer drains.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. I once brought a bottle of French wine to a dinner at which my wingnut SIL was present

and she refused to drink any of it. I smiled and said, "Great! That leaves more for me!"

[Iliyah]

12. What about "French Fries"

Didn't they wanted to rename it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. The name was going to be "Freedom Fries."

The term was born in 2003 when the then Republican Chairman of the Committee on House Administration, Bob Ney, renamed the menu item in three Congressional cafeterias in response to France's opposition to the proposed invasion of Iraq. Although originally supported with several restaurants changing their menus as well, the term fell out of use due to declining support for the Iraq War. Following Ney's resignation as Chairman in 2006, it was quietly reverted.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_fries

[Lisa0825]

43. I once got into a big argument with one of the few Republican friends I had, because of this...

He was railing about what a waste of time it was that Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee was rallying support to revert the name back to French Fries. I said "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???? IT WAS YOUR MORONS WHO CHANGED THE NAME IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!"

Pretty much a microcosm of the entire Rethuglican Hypocrite Party.

[thucythucy]

56. Typical.

They wanted to punish the French for being right, by renaming a product that has nothing to do with France (potatoes from Idaho, Maine, etc.). And these are the folks now in charge of our government. Ugh.

[Ferrets are Cool]

85. I've left restaurants with "freedom fries" on their menu's. nt

[lark]

125. Well, according to Belgians, fries were invented there so should be called Belgian fries.

Although I don't think that would be any more appealing to these asshole braindead deplorables since PUtin hates Belgium and is having their ugly fat orange tool renege on a tariff deal he made with the EU.

[mcar]

16. Or renaming french fries

"Freedom fries" and continuing to order them in restaurants!

[JHan]

55. no way! lol ...

lol.. Don't tell me that actually happened....lolol.

failz of cosmic proportions.

[NanceGreggs]

67. Oh, it happened!

People were posting pics of themselves pouring just-purchased French wine into the street - often in front of the wine shops where they'd just bought it!

[JHan]

70. .........................................

[tblue37]

7. Ooooooh! That'll show 'em! It's like when people were destroying their expensive Keurig

machines--which they had already paid for.

[mcar]

18. They were buying Keurigs

In order to destroy them!

Stop! You're killing me!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

9. Yeah they're going to burn their $100+ Nikes and shop at Payless Shoes from here out

That'll show 'em.

[malaise]

19. We walk in Nikes but we've never paid $100 for them

We buy them on sale on our annual trek to Miami or New York.

[C_U_L8R]

10. Rightwing lardassess weren't customers Nike wants or needs

And it's pretty hilarious that they can't even agree with the core spirit that Nike expressed here. Boldly I might say. Go back to your momma's basement, rightwing losers.

[bora13]

60. maybe they should stay with their mommas

[D_Master81]

15. I'm eagerly waiting to see to Trump tweets tomorrow

its going to be epic I'm sure.

[Grassy Knoll]

20. Nike Could Do A Shoe For Kap#7's

..I Would Buy That For Sure.

[Brother Buzz]

21. Oooh, just in time for the orange anus to call a boycott of NFL

Nike's logo will be on NFL uniforms until 2028.

[mcar]

22. I didn't know that

Perfect!

[Brother Buzz]

27. A lot of college football teams, too, but they have a lock on the NFL

[spanone]

23. Hard to believe a marine would support a man who shits on prisoners of war & gold star families

[Hulk]

84. Not really hard to believe at all...

I found two kinds of soldiers in the Army back in my day: The guy who was doing his duty for God and country...and the fucked up "lifer". Guess which one this guy is.

[tazkcmo]

146. It has changed for the better.

Now there is a third and 4th and 5th kind, and more. Some, like myself, joined not for "God and country," or because they were going to be "fuck'ed up lifers" but to feed the kids. Others for the benefits. Others for stability. Some for travel. They all join an Army that is much different than the one my grandfather, father an older brothers served in. More diverse, mire professional and more technologically integrated.

[Hulk]

149. I can accept that.

"My Army" was during the Viernam era with the draft. I never "joined" because I even wanted to serve. I served because my country called on me to serve, and if I didn't, someone else would have to take my place.

I thought after I posted my initial comment that I should take it down because, as you say, it has changed, and there are valid, good reasons to serve. But then I thought, "leave it up...that WAS my experience."

[tazkcmo]

150. Yes, leave it.

Our two posts will give those DUers who are unfamiliar with the military a chance to learn a little about the evolution and changes that have taken place in our arned services.

I know how f'ed up all our armed services were in your era. I hope you get what you're deserved one day.

28. I mean I support his right to cut socks!

Nobody say anything, it’s a better activity for them than sitting around stewing at Fox News television.

[RockRaven]

32. I support the right of this moron to waste money on new socks

because the way sock are manufactured/woven, his are going to look mighty disheveled if not fall apart entirely now that he's cut the tops off.

Remind me who the snowflakes are again, anyone?

[matt819]

33. Ooohhh. They ripped up a pair of socks.

That’ll show Nike.

You’ll notice that none of these deplorable destroyed their Harleys.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

44. They can use their cut-up socks for coffee filters

since they've already smashed their Keurigs.

[ProudLib72]

Why do they become so destructive over a different opinion? Are they that afraid?

[BannonsLiver]

47. A true global brand

They sell a shit ton of stuff to people who don’t give a fuck about this manufactured outrage and controversy, so cut, throw away and burn your stuff, you dumb rubes.

Now their really in trubble now!

[BobTheSubgenius]

74. I think a far more effective protest would be for them to.,.

...deck themselves out in as much Nike gear as they can wear, and set it on fire. That would get everyone's attention.

[Blue_true]

87. Guys like that don't buy the stuff that makes a real difference to Nike.

Now, if he destroyed basketball, soccer or running shoes, then maybe, but the thing is, people that wear those likely seldom agree with him.

[NYC Liberal]

88. Wait...but then he tweeted a photo of the Nike logo.

So he’s done the opposite - that tweet is free advertising for Nike: image of their logo and tweeting their brand names

[Initech]

89. Here's the difference between us and them.

Hannity gets ads cut by Keurig? They destroy their Keurigs.

NFL knee controversy? They destroy their NFL merchandise.

Nike signs Colin Kaepernick? They destroy their Nike merchandise.

ABC signs Roseanne to a revival of her show and makes it about Trump? We just change the channel.

Stay classy, guys.

[Flaleftist]

95. I almost want to but some Nike products.

However, I can't bring myself to pay more something just for a logo when there are comparable alternatives that cost less. I'm sure there are issues with their overseas factories, but to be honest the shoes and clothing I buy now were likely made in the same conditions.

I do helps this works out for them, though.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

103. It's pretty amazing and shameful to see...

most American's fascination with brand names and brand name symbols, and celebrity. I fear that rampant consumerism could help bring about our eventual economic downfall, as we're encouraged to spend, spend, spend. And, we've help spread that false sense of value to much of the world.

The corporate world also took away the value of saving (other than for a safety net), so most people say: "what the heck, may as well spend it". They truly do control much of our people's thinking and actions.

[KWR65]

97. I'll show Nike. I'll buy a million shoes then cut them up!

[brettdale]
