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.
Stephen Martin, Prime Time's owner, told a local NBC station that he made the decision to close the store permanently on Sunday night, saying he “can’t keep the doors open anymore.”
“Being a sports store without Nike is kind of like being a milk store without milk or a gas station without gas. How do you do it? They have a monopoly on jerseys,” Martin told the
station.
Martin said he realized last year that he could go out of business over the decision to remove Nike merchandise, given that a sizable chunk of his inventory was NFL jerseys that are
exclusive to Nike.
Martin, at the time, called the brand was "the mother of all harlots." Martin added that although Kaepernick "sacrificed a salary," nothing "compared to what every soul on our 'Honor the
Flag' memorial wall that was built a few years ago has suffered and died for. "
He picked the stupidest hill to die on. How didn't he see this coming?
Aww, what a fucking pity for the baby. Maybe next time to don't be a shitstain because one of your biggest suppliers wants to support a guy doing the right thing.
A flag is nothing without the people behind it, that's what it's a symbol of.
To use what in this case feels a relevant example, why do these types of people think Idolatry was rendered a sin in Christianity?
"Why did Colin Kaepernick do this to me...."
Martin said he realized last year that he could go out of business over the decision to remove Nike merchandise, given that a sizable chunk of his inventory was NFL jerseys that are
exclusive to Nike.
But he did it anyway, you might say he believed in something, even if it meant sacrificing everything.
"Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything".
Should've burned it instead
Might of been able to claim it on insurance then
File for bankruptcy to own the libs.
I had forgotten about all that stuff about Kaepernick.
This guy is a moron, and people giving as much of a shit that is enough to fire a guy over not doing the norm is just sickening.
I feel kinda proud that whenever I order Converses I get an email from Nike. I wonder how many people this has 'triggered'.
"Believe in something. Even if it means getting an endorsement from Nike."
It's in a pretty sizeable mall so that's sort of out of the question. I've actually been to this store a couple times. Everything was overpriced and that went double for Broncos gear.
They learn from their idol.

obviously this has less to do with Kaepernick and more to do with not stocking nike products
refusing to stock nike products over something like that is ridiculous though
