Note to Nike

The move of sportswear giant Nike to continue featuring Colin Kaepernick in its marketing (great line, by the way--"Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.") has so angered followers of the guy Spike Lee has dubbed Agent Orange that they have taken to various ways of destroying their Nike products. People are cutting the Nike swoosh out of their socks, burning their Nike runners.

This is, of course, dumb, but there is an opportunity here for both the offended Nike wearers and the Nike p.r. department: suggest that those fervent Trumpsters who want to abandon their Nike gear not destroy it, but turn it over to less fortunate folk who cannot afford that expensive stuff.

Take all those shoes and trail jackets and running tights, those hoodies and backpacks, those tanks and crews and tees to a charity that will distribute them to people in need.

Whaddya think?  We think a win all 'round. We think Kaepernick would agree.
