Womp Womp, Colin Kaepernick Edition

  • 18 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols
Colin Kaepernick.

The Hill reports:

A store in Colorado will be closing down after more than 20 years in business after its decision to stop selling Nike merchandise.

The store, Prime Time Sports, first made headlines in September when it announced it would pull Nike merchandise to protest the company’s decision to feature former NFL player Colin Kaepernick as the face of its ad campaign…

Prime Time Sports in Colorado Springs’ Chapel Hills Mall made national headlines last fall over their decision to blow out their Nike inventory and stop selling the brand’s products in protest of their ad campaign featuring ex-QB Colin Kaepernick, whose silent kneeling demonstrations during the national anthem ahead of NFL games made him an unemployed political lightning rod. If there is any place in America where a sporting goods store’s jilting of such a key brand would be survivable, one would think the conservative bastion of Colorado Springs would be it.

But as it turns out,

“As much as I hate to admit this, perhaps there are more Brandon Marshall and Colin Kaepernick supporters out there than I realized,” he added. [Pols emphasis]

For all the pundits who warned that football and politics make for bad business, here’s an example of the rule cutting both ways–even in the reddest of locales! The only thing we can add is our hope that Joe Flacco works out for the Broncos, since boycotting Kaepernick hasn’t exactly been a winning choice for John Elway either.

        1. So, Kaepernick realized taking a knee during the National Anthem would get him a bunch of media attention because it would cause a bunch of fascist MAGAts to get triggered? 

            1. Aw come on Poddy.  You guys say "Let the free market decide."  The free market decided the fate of your faux patriot.  Not "liberals". 

              Also, the fact that Kaepernick got all that attention for kneeling says more about how easy it is for you MAGAts to get butthurt than it says about him.

              1. How is the owner of the sporting goods store patriotic? 

                The whole issue of Kaepernick kneeling got blown way out of proportion. The most vociferous of the critics obviously didn't care for the 1st Amendment.

            2. How unpatriotic of Colin Kapernick and liberals to bring attention to how cops beat the hell out of kill innocent unarmed black kids. The owner of the sporting goods store chose to die on that hill.  Colin Kapernick is someone that can sell millions of dollars in merchandise, so he got rich. This is how  the free market that conservatives love to brag about works.

      1. PodestaEmails  — Gee, you not only are able to comment on politics, but you've become a NFL talent scout, too?

        Closer to Colorado, can you predict Flacco v. Keenum ?  Does Denver still need to draft a quarterback who can be the next great player?
