Nike, Hey?

[Benny B]

Is it true he had worn the same shoes for every game this season?   If so, the blowout makes more sense.

Even so, the odds that it happens 30 seconds into the game.... mmm mmmm mmmmm.

Nike stock up 1% today, nearly double the S&P 500's gain. Stock is only about $1 lower than its all-time high.

It gained after the Kaepernick ad, too.

Great companies are resilient.

Mentioned elsewhere, but yes, it was LA Gear.    I think MU was a Pony school for a bit while I was there.

Pony. Those were the spikes we wore for our high school baseball team.

Wait, did I say high school?? I'm sorry. I meant to say our "elite east coast prep school." You know , like Phillips Exeter and Andover and what not. Great weekend parties and what have you.

Tom Brady did it!

Inside the NBA is the best sports related show on TV.  Just unfiltered hilarity and insight.  It was amazing then went up another notch when Shaq joined.  He unleashed Barkley even more.

Love Inside the NBA, but I actually find Shaq more annoying than funny.

Nike stock hit new all-time high today.

Stuff like Zion's shoe and Kaepernick ad are what seasoned investors call "noise."

Noise makes stock prices go up or down short-term. More long-term, fundamentals rule the day.

Oh, and I agree with Chitown about Shaq. His almost incoherent mumblings add very little to the TNT show IMHO. I do like Chuck, Kenny and Ernie, though.

Those little kids and sweatshops are just cranking out the products these days....I hope they are getting $15 an hour....

Your outrage about this has led you to buy zero products from Nike or any other company that operates similarly, correct?

Nope, because I’m not outraged by it (wage part) for the same reason you continue to watch NFL games, watch NCAA games, even though railing on them.

Do I want kids working?  No.  How much is that happening now?  I have no idea, but from reports it seems to have been stopped for the most part.  Exceptions should be dealt with and violators punished. On the wage front, some of these jobs are paying more in that country then most.  Market rates.

There is little doubt that Zion will be will Nike for a long time. He will make them a lot of money. Obviously, he will make himself a lot, as well. The blowout will only increase the haul.

Cheeks .... here's an issue upon which we agree (though your claims of Nike employing child labor are vastly overstated). Regardless, it seems we both believe that it's wrong for big Western corporations like Nike to exploit low-skilled labor in emerging and poor nations for the sake of profit.
What do you think should be done about this?

Ah. Just standard goalpost-shifting to an issue that wasn't discussed and had nothing to do with the conversation. Got it.

I enjoy NFL games, and I'd welcome you showing examples of me being "outraged" by the NFL.
