James Morrow [OUTSIDERS] coined it !    "Go WOKE Go Broke"

And James is correct !

The 'WOKE', is a noisy, angry, militant minority.   We must not surrender to them.

Statistics show that Nike is selling over 780 million pairs of shoes each year, about $200 pr., profit US$10bill. The loss of $790 mill is around 8% profit.  The Betsy Ross line was not fully marketed and is irrelevant to the loss.  But she deserves better than the heel of fungal joggers with virus.

Nike is doing fine, they probably pay Kaepernick more then their entire labor force combined. Their customer base deserves to pay $200 for shoes that cost the company $20 to make. The uglier and gaudier the shoe the more they charge and the more they sell. I wouldn't touch their stock at half the price because I disagree with their business model.

When Nike sells shoes manufactured in sweatshops of third world societies, they would be able to weather a short-term downturn in sales.

If you think you are smart enough to advise Nike on a new business model then I want to hear what it is.

Democratic strategist and CNN contributor Julie Roginsky said Thursday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that her party cannot speak to “normal people,” stating that it was “not the party of common sense.”

Roginsky said, “You know, I’m going to speak some hard truths to my friends in the Democratic Party. This is not Joe Biden’s fault. It’s not Kamala Harris fault. It’s not Barack Obama’s fault. It is the fault of the Democratic Party in not knowing how to communicate effectively to voters. We are not the party of common sense, which is the message that voters sent to us. For a number of reasons, for a number of reasons, we don’t know how to speak to voters. When we address Latinos — and language, and language has meaning — we address Latino voters. as Latinx, for instance, because that’s the politically correct thing to do, it makes them think that we don’t even live on the same planet as they do. When we are too afraid to say that, ‘Hey, college kids, if you’re trashing a campus of Columbia University because you aren’t happy about some sort of policy and you’re taking over a university and you’re trashing it and preventing other students from learning that that is unacceptable.’ But we’re so worried about alienating one or another cohort in our coalition that we don’t know what to say.”





Go Woke, go broke.

In other higher education news....

It's a in-they-them-tifada.

At least 9 of the 81 people, or 11 percent, arrested in connection with storming a Columbia University library Wednesday use "they/them" pronouns, a review of public records by the Washington Free Beacon shows. That share is well above the 1.6 percent of Americans who identify as transgender or nonbinary, according to the Pew Research Center, and more than double the 5 percent of people who identify as transgender or non binary under 30.

Not a surprise.

American Eagle Apologizes, Replaces Sydney Sweeney With Fat Transgender Double-Amputee Of Color


...


PITTSBURGH, PA — Social justice warriors scored another victory today, as retail chain American Eagle issued a public apology and replaced Sydney Sweeney in its ad campaign with a fat, transgender double amputee of color.

The new campaign featuring Sweeney had caused controversy after American Eagle was accused of choosing an attractive young Caucasian woman to sell their clothing, which is a well-known Nazi dog whistle.

The company aimed to quickly rectify this by replacing Sweeney with the most intersectionally diverse fashion model of all time.

"We're really sorry for giving people someone pleasant to look at," said American Eagle spokesperson Eliott Dorton. "We mistakenly believed that featuring a beautiful woman wearing our jeans would make people want to see our commercials and buy our products, but we instead unintentionally outed ourselves as horribly racist Nazis. We deeply apologize to anyone who was offended by someone visually appealing, and we have officially changed course today by replacing Ms. Sweeney with Chantrese Underwood, a body-positive disabled man who identifies as a woman. We trust that this correction will put us back in everyone's good graces. Thank you."

The brand's new face was thrilled to get the call. "I'm grateful for the opportunity," Underwood said. "As a fat, transgender double amputee of color, I haven't seen much representation in fashion ads, so it's nice to be a part of changing that. I look forward to rolling my chair down the runway and showing the world just how fat and transgender I can be."

At publishing time, American Eagle had also issued a formal apology for its prominent depictions of the American flag, eagles, and the fact that the word "American" is in its name.

At publishing time, American Eagle had also issued a formal apology for its prominent depictions of the American flag, eagles, and the fact that the word "American" is in its name.


WASHINGTON, D.C. — Clothing retailer American Eagle's new advertising campaign hit an unexpected obstacle today, as a federal judge ordered actress and new brand spokeswoman Sydney Sweeney to gain 100 pounds and get an ugly butch haircut.

Judge Eileen Bauer, an Obama appointee to a D.C.-area district court, issued an emergency ruling that Sweeney's attractiveness violated the law and demanded that she pack on weight to become as visually unappealing to consumers as possible.

"This type of brazen attractiveness cannot be allowed to stand," Bauer said in her ruling. "It is the responsibility of the court to hold corporations to a specific legal standard, which, in this case, means American Eagle is prohibited from featuring a thin, blonde, white woman in its advertisements. It is hereby the opinion of the court that Ms. Sweeney put on a minimum of 100 pounds right this minute and cut her hair or face disciplinary action."

Legal analysts said the landmark ruling set an important precedent for both advertising standards and judicial authority. "A federal judge has spoken, and we all know that is the ultimate authority over mankind," one expert said. "America cannot be allowed to turn into a country where companies can make their products appeal to consumers. Kudos to Judge Bauer for having the courage to stand up for the law and force this good-looking young woman to become less healthy and attractive."

At publishing time, Judge Bauer had issued an additional ruling that would further require Sweeney to get a septum piercing and a face tattoo.
