just so that I'm clear about this
The Factory workers at Nikes (of which 80% are women) make $0.20 an hour working 70 to 80 hours a week making Nike shoes, just so Nike can profit enough to pay Colin Kaepernick millions of dollars to speak out against oppression and Injustice?

if undeniable accurate, placing this in a larger venue that thousands, millions??? can read the truth behind corporate greed and caponnecker public whining would be a public service... 0 -
You're correct. But you are wrong.... Wrong because you are applying rational and unhypocritical thought. Those hypocrisy of the left is famous, but they don't/won't see it because they don't use rational thought. Things like protesting a wall for our border, while simultaneously living in a home that has a wall. Or lobbying against guns, while simultaneously having an armed security detail. Speaking out against injustice, while getting paid by a company that profits through injustice... 0 -

I agree, somebody sent this to my Facebook account and told me if I agreed with it to share it.I forwarded it to all friends on Facebook. And I'm now forwarding to to all my friends on GunBroker...
Please forward it if you agree with it.
By the way, here is an article from Newsweek that confirms it. That's if it's not fake news

Missing is any logic in his actions. He denigrates the symbol (flag) of the nation which has done more to promote justice, equality and fairness than any other on the planet... in the name of protesting inequality, injustice and unfairness.0 -
More black BS
Race of failure and liars.
Those that don't speak out about the OBVIOUS s*** show are enablers of their races destruction.

Nike pays the prevailing wage in a country, and somehow that is a problem?
I personally prefer Made In USA shoes from New Balance, but I would not disparage a company for paying the prevailing wage.
But then I am not a communist s.o.c.i.a.l.i.s.t.

Well, yeah, the workers make 20 cents an hour.
But they have a heck of a medical and dental plan, covered child care, tuition reimbursement, extended family leave, profit sharing AND a 401K-and they have kittens and coloring books for break time.0 -

I don't think that it's a good idea to spread facebook rumors or tweets about pay or hours of Nike factory workers, especially since no reliable source can be cited. It really doesn't help our cause.
On the other hand, Nike is not shy about what they are paying the washed out ex-player, so that is fair game. And, I think that they misjudged how much money their attempt to suck up to race hustlers will cost them.

Sounds to me that Nike is using the same business plan that Goodwill Industries has been using since their inception.
Or maybe it is the other way around. Don't know who was here first. Kind of the chicken or the egg thing.[:I]0 -

Extreme poverty in the world has been cut by 70% or more over the past 20 years.
This is in large part because multi-nationals employ people in 3rd world countries at 3rd world wages.
Is lifting a family from living on $ 1.00 per week to $ 2.00 per day an evil thing? Does the fact that Nike makes 80%+ on the incremental cost of each pair of shoes detract demean the value that they bring into the family's life?
It is a legitimate question. What is known, however, is that families that have members working for American companies at what would be slave wages in the US are doing much better than they were doing before the American company set up shop. I for one would not pretend to suggest that we shut off the meal ticket to a family because my sense of right and wrong suggests they are too stupid to understand they are being taken advantage of.0 -
i am not so much worried about the wages of foreign workers in that i find makers of shoes, underwear, or kotex have any need to drown me in their political chit 0 -

Yet they try to bring it into other countries that ain't "America". At the very least wave it in front of their noses like if it were bacon. Like Freedom Of Speech in countries that don't have basic freedom like England.0
