Canaccord’s new price target is $95, up from $78. The stock rose 1% in morning trade. . . . Nike NKE, +0.65% sparked fierce backlash after it announced a new ad campaign starring Colin Kaepernick, the former NFL quarterback who led protests against racial injustice and police brutality by taking to one knee during the national anthem. Some football fans and President Donald Trump have railed against the protests. After first declining, Nike shares have rebounded, up 3.6% over the past five trading days to erase all the initial losses, and then some. Online sales soared 31% from the Sunday of Labor Day weekend until Tuesday, beating back fears that calls to boycott the brand would take a negative toll. ========== Nike’s stroke of genius with Kaepernick already paying off BY WILLIAM C. RHODEN @WCRHODEN September 11, 2018 The Undefeated In a stroke of genius that would make a chess master proud, Nike made a move last week that simultaneously put the NFL on its heels and made competitors squirm. Most important, the sports apparel giant helped protesting NFL players remind the public that their protests are not an attack on the military but a demand for social justice and an end to social inequality. Nike celebrated the 30th anniversary of its “Just do it” slogan with an ad campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick, the former NFL quarterback who is being blackballed — so it appears — by the NFL. In 2016, Kaepernick became the first NFL player to protest racial inequality and police brutality by taking a knee during the national anthem before games. The impact of the Nike campaign is being felt from boardrooms to locker rooms. For players who have been criticized for protesting, the Nike campaign is a tremendous boost. =========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites DanG 1 #63 September 11, 2018 What blows my mind is how distorted this whole issue has become. The flag and the national anthem used to represent American ideals of freedom, justice, equality, egalitarianism, and democracy. Now certain people have decided they represent The Troops and The Military. But not all the troops, just the conservative, white, Christian, male troops. And eveyone who still believes in American values is apparently a libtard douche. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites DJL 235 #64 September 11, 2018 billvon****** Should != shall.

With that in mind: ======================= Despite Outrage, Nike Sales Increased 31% After Kaepernick Ad By GINA MARTINEZ Updated: September 10, 2018 TIME Despite the backlash in the wake of Nike’s endorsement deal with Colin Kaepernick, the sportswear company has seen a 31% increase in online sales, according to one outside estimate. Nike sales grew 31% from Sunday through Tuesday over the Labor Day holiday this year compared with the previous year, according to Edison Trends. On Sept. 3, Nike debuted their new campaign featuring the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, who sparked the wave of NFL national anthem protests against racial inequality last year. His actions enraged many, leading Kaepernick, who is currently an unsigned free agent, to claim he has been blacklisted by NFL leadership. Nike followed up on Wednesday, releasing an ad featuring Kaepernick, which aired during the NFL season opener on Thursday. ======================== I've done a couple of hours of research and the Nike marketing gurus seem to know their shit. The information in post #29 was true. What is also true is - Market research from YouGov Plan and Track shows that 46 percent of Nike customers have a positive view of Kaepernick, compared to 34 percent of all Americans. YouGov also found a 10 percentage point increase in the number of Nike customers versus the general public. So, I will concede to this point of the strategy increasing sales. It also tells me that I'm in the 34% of all Americans. Sincerely, I have issues with those who produce nothing other than controversy being financially rewarded.
