Mass arrest in Illinois!

Still waiting for Nike to tweet about international child labor and their underpaid workers. But that one is nice too

I agree with Nike 100% but I dont believe Nike meant for hateful riots to break out that hurt innocent people and burn their businesses down. These very businesses employ the people who participate in these hateful riots.

Don’t buy nike

Stop supporting riots and criminals for views.

Don't forget a majority of our senators and representatives have been in office for 20+ years and did nothing during that time to fight racism. They won't do anything now. It's time we replace people like Pelosi, McConnell and Schumer. Career politicians on both sides need to go.

Nike's giving away free sneakers and active wear. All ya gotta do is find a brick neatly placed at strategic locations by Soros, Antifa and the DNC... Enjoy, compliments of NIKE.

Keep pandering to a race given a civil rights act & instead of getting prosper they went down to the gutters while newcomers succeeded w hard work. Show the real story, show blks communities, show wealthy bkl leaders while common folks go poor.

Brought to you by a company that runs slavery sweat shops and a network that uses fear and propaganda to divide a nation

I think they were talking to the one's looting their stores.

as long as the cop's psychopath is alive and well warm, we won't stay with our arms folded ... we want him behind the bars

Isn’t it just peachy how well equipped the police &National Guard are while nurses and healthcare workers don’t have shit and grandma is sewing them protective masks.

If you really care why isn’t the media showing about annonymous and the all the evidence they released!!

F Nike 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Why do ANY conservatives buy Nike products?

Stop listening to the media, stop listening to companies doing the bidding of China for the almighty dollar. Start thinking for yourself and you'll realize they're lying to you. They're lying to all of us.

We can talk about racism and how to extinguish it. We can also talk about police brutality and how to extinguish it. No matter the color of our skin, all races experience abuse from criminals who hide behind their badge.

Pretty sure it was because of this video :) Nike

JamesAGagliano doesn’t get it. People are not marching against just “a few bad apples.” The problem is systemic racism, including in policing. Until that point is understood, this fire can’t be put out.

You shouldn’t turn your back on human rights abuses in China either Nike. But you have and do.

Yet nothing about not burning down our cities? Good thing we stopped buying nike when Kaepernick took a knee

And don’t pretend those rioting and looting are white supremacist and not far left groups like ANTIFA. Otherwise Biden’s campaign members would not be given them money to be bailed out.

Nike can F off

He plead guilty to entering a woman’s home, pointing a gun at her stomach and searching the home for drugs and money, according to court records. Racism my ass

Stupid shoes v

Why is this yr news story? “Ooh, corporation pretends to care with playful riff!”

Why don't you get brianstelter ChrisCuomo wolfblitzer to stop saying that the President is racist. For 3+ years. The riots across the USA? You reap what you sow. Evil is everywhere. Human trafficking, child sexual abuse, child murders? Out of sight, out of mind?

What a land of opportunities? Almost everybody wishes either to trade with or at Karachi and prefers to be settled in Sindh. That's great! But no one should've any legal right to be permanently settled at the cost of altering the demography of Sindh SindhRejectsBogusDomiciles

Just like the street violence in 2012 from Occupy Wallstreet. Same song, same players, different year. All about the election.

I haven't done it in a while. I switched to Under Armour years ago

They just want to sell their overpriced, sweat shop made sneakers 🙄

Woah Nike are gonna stop child labor?

Are they giving out free stuff yet?

The George thing has zero to do with racism. SURPRISE!

Fuck Nike

😁😁😁😁

Don't you dare turn your back. Don't do it.

's racism does not help fight racism.

They just cleaned out your store you think they care what Nike says?

I WAS PART OF THE CHANGE. THANKS TO erasing history, it has all been reversed.

Nike inciting rioters. No wonder I don’t buy their crap products

They should be saying “Don’t do it,” to the looters and arsonists.

In honor of the rioters in Minneapolis, Nike is releasing a new shoe to commemorate the actions of those selfless individuals who reminded all Americans to check the batteries in our smoke detectors.

Quit virtue signaling. Racism is a problem all over the world. You can’t just abolish it unfortunately. Your stupid slogans and grand standing isn’t going to work.

Racism? The more some have the more they complain and the more rights some have the more they bitch and some complaining today more then ever, more so then in the 30's and 40's when they had a real reason to complain, and when they have more opportunities today then ever

Americans are SO racist! Except that one time we elected a black President.

fucknike

Well?

EVargasTV 🇺🇲☝️🇺🇲🍀 FightBack ! 👊💪

No sane persons buys nike, the world has not forgot the 'burkini' nike guys r just a bunch of scavenger looking for.......

How are the sweatshops doing, Nike?

You want to protest racist America peacefully sit in front of the WH and every Trump property for days and days….stop being manipulated by anarchists.

As their store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago is destroyed and looted.
