        Nike is ALL about dollars & cents.....that’s why they took their time to do a market analysis. They needed to understand if they will make money. Once they determined it would they were all in. Has nothing to do with being on the right or wrong side of history.....CASH MONEY! 💰

        Ok, but I am 99.9%sure had their projections came in different they would’ve went another direction. When I read their decision was made AFTER a market analysis I just can’t give them social credit. They specifically analyzed the “global” impact this had which =much more! MONEY

        But those two things go hand and hand. If Kap's decision to kneel was on the wrong side of history where ppl would look back and view him as a villain, Nike would not make this deal.

        Had nothing to do with their decision......it was strictly monetary based. They did a world analysis & found out this issue is hot overseas. Nike is a GLOBAL market not just America. The numbers showed gain which is why they went that direction. They aren’t humanitarians

        Didn't say they were SJWs but if it's strictly monetary why didn't other companies including the NFL make this decision? Don't they wanna make money too?
