In 2016, they dropped Lands’ when Lands’ End chose to honor Gloria Steinem in a promotion and donated to a Gloria Steinem organization. At the time, a college press release the school cut ties with Lands’ End because of it’s “clearly leftist, pro-abortion agenda.” "Atta way to go. The School is a Christian Based School and supports that view." HK> Visted there before and viewed a clean hard working bunch of kids you will not find in the Ivy Schools> College of the Ozarks drops Nike
From the link above: "“In their new ad campaign, we believe Nike executives are promoting an attitude of division and disrespect toward America,” said College of the Ozarks President Jerry C. Davis in a press release. “If Nike is ashamed of America, we are ashamed of them. We also believe that those who know what sacrifice is all about are more likely to be wearing a military uniform than an athletic uniform.”"
Now if they could get 200 million more Americans they would have something Also the Nike boots I had were the best most comfortable boot I ever owned really
This from a PM and with permission to print. "That might be because you never visited the school. Tuition is earned by each student in some part of the College. Some wait tables, others work outside, others sell products in the Visitor Center, some work in a skill they need to fulfill their degree plan. No free rides, no mommy and daddy payouts. You work or you walk. My Kind of place as you might imagine. Imagine yet another case, having an employee that understands what is needed to get up at 4 am to take care of stock or work in the kitchen then go to class ON TIME." Oh to have such a work force when they Graduate! Yes there is a waiting list and good GPAs are part of admissions.
Here is their Mission statement and since they sold Nike Gear at the College they have earned the right to say how they feel about Unpatriotic actions Nike supports with the Names and actions of such figures, as well as to stop support of Nike with the College Funds used in a better place. Our Mission College of the Ozarks | Hard Work U. The mission of College of the Ozarks is to provide the advantages of a Christian education for youth of both sexes, especially those found worthy, but who are without sufficient means to procure such training. Our Vision The vision of College of the Ozarks is to develop citizens of Christ-like character who are well-educated, hard-working, and patriotic.
Damn Right! Nike needs to suffer the consequences of being Anti American! When you support a bunch of Way over paid Court Jesters who some how think they are special off the field or outside the court, that's not a good place to be, and this Nation does not suffer fools! One look at the suffering of the NFL and the sudden change of heart when it affected the bottom line shows how America really feels about such things! Good By Nike!
Yep, I get that. But seriously, who cares what a podunk christian college in the boonies cares about Nike...oh...yes...conservatives with a surfeit of dudgeon, Interesting that some highly strung 'patriotic' Americans are burning their Nike Shoes and mutilating their Nike clothing....items already paid for by, I might add...and then blogging about their bit of ostentatious protest via twitter, FB, or (insert social media platform here....), which in itself does not hurt Nike's bottom line, and provides Nike with free advertising....being the shoe that people who are not conforming to 'patriotic' conformism are like to wear. Why the social media boycott over Colin Kaepernick is a win for Nike Yes, those supposedly boycotting Nike, may hurt Nike some for a little while, but Nike has the momentum to survive the barnacles that encrust the brand for the time being...but it will jog past silly sentimental faux 'patriotic' protesters. I have a pair of Nikes that I haven't worn for a while...I think I may just dust them off and start wearing them again...
Too many $$$$$$$$$$$ involved for that no large college program will walk away from the dollars no matter how they are made
Wish it would have been a larger college, but here Nike virtually supports the colleges with athletic gear and uniforms at no cost.
In this case Nike was being sold in their School Store to both Tourist and Students, the school was willing to take a hit of lost revenue.In short school is talking with their Bank Account.
Underarmor should make for some serious competition for Nike, ad they actually support and equip the U.S. Mil, and they support Vets! I would love to see them go head to head with Nike and slam them in sales!
Being as your not an American anyway , I expected this type of comment from you . I've actually become surprised if I didn't get a chance to read your anti American views and comments. So , If your going to dust off those old shoes , that have been sitting for a while , take my advice and change those laces ,,,if your out there jogging or just walking , those old dried up laces could snap , and cause you to trip , and possibly break your face ,,, then we'd have to go elsewhere to hear those comments ,,,,,,,
I can only guess who this belongs to so here goes. those old dried up laces could snap. and you'd be breaking your faces. we'd have to go to them Dems or Ruskieos. to hear such commie lamentos.
To bad the Oregon Ducks don't drop them, but to much $$$ from Nike. I'm sometimes embarrassed to say I like the Ducks when you see the asinine colors of their Nike uniforms.
