No idea why.
If the public backlash against other corporate brand names who have taken a vocal political stance is any indication, Nike faces considerably more pressure: companies from Dick's (which saw a sharp decline in sales after it stopped selling guns), to ESPN, to Papa John's, to Twitter and Facebook, to In-N-Out burger, have all seen an angry customer backlash - from either the left or the right - once these corporations entered the political arena, resulting in a hit to the top line, and ultimately, the shareholders' pocket.
And this could be a problem - #BoycottNike is now the number 1 trending topic on Twitter in the US...

Funny, they dont allow comments, especially those who might want
to point the market cap losses.
Incredible.
Meanwhile, in the real world....
I expect them to have an emergency board meeting today (right now possibly) or tomorrow and then fire the CEO and the jackass.
When people are pissed enough to burn your product THAT THEY ALREADY OWN then your company and brand are dead.
Nike is far from dead.
In typical American fashion, you think the world revolves around you. Nike's products are sold worldwide and with the current dislike for your country and president, I wouldn't expect any issues with product sales outside of the US.
This was totally unpredictable.
By the way. I’m wondering if Nike even makes clothes that will fit your average NFL hardliners. Hats big enough, however, are available in the preschoolers section
