   In your opinion was it brave and inspiring or unnecessary and shameful?

      It's an opportunity for Americans to speak up about the issue!

   Not sure it was either, honestly. It was an opportunity to generate conversation about the brand by piggybacking on a controversial topic.
   
   I’m not mad at them for it but I also don’t think it was done out of the pure desire to promote a message. So, meh.
   
   I do get a kick out of the tough-skinned and totally rational conservatives destroying their own property again over a brand doing something that offends them.

      Yes. Nike has utilized a controversial topic to make sales. I really don't think they care about the issue at all. Good publicity or bad publicity, people are talking more about them now. We will have to see if their decision benefits them or backfires.
      Don't understand the whole burning shoes thing either. Nike already has your money so why bother to destroy the items. If they don't agree with the company policies better to donate them to a charity.

   Many of you here seem to forget or at least conveniently ignore that it was liberal inspired corporations  and entities who began boycotting in all of this TDS  ? I believe the evidence shows conservatives are more mature than starting trade wars where everyone stands to lose and no one gains .

      America has become very polarized. Everyone is fighting about something. Now even companies are beginning to take sides (for their benefit of course). I feel that this situation is very unstable.

   A company is using a movement (whatever you think of it) to sell sneakers being made my virtual slaves in a third world country. Why don't they use the face of one of the 13year olds sewing their sneakers for a dollar a day? Does any of this really matter?

      +++++++++++++Yes , a thirteen year old sewing and painting Nike checks on the side of  sneakers where on his mattress laying under the work bench rests his barefoot siblings  , their  parents dying of starvation  outside the factory door .

         My point is that we tend to focus on the stupid aspects (Nike's involvement) while ignoring real problems like how they have to guard against suicide at factories that make iPhones but here they're more worried about how sexist the phones are for being too big. Find some perspective (I don't mean you personally).
