Trump On Colin Kaepernick Headlining Nike’s Campaign: ‘A Terrible Message!’

Here is the original post:

C olin Kaepernick stays winning. Even though the NFL tried to destroy him, he brushes the hate off his shoulder and comes out on top whether it’s a series with Ava DuVernay or becoming one of the faces of Nike’s 30th anniversary campaign of their “Just Do It” motto, which just happened yesterday. Of course Trump spoke out and he is in an orange outrage. SEE ALSO:  From Al Sharpton To Barack Obama: Here’s How Aretha Franklin Was Celebrated At Her Funeral In an interview with  The Daily Caller , Trump babbled, I think it’s a terrible message that they’re sending and the purpose of them doing it, maybe there’s a reason for them doing it. But I think as far as sending a message, I think it’s a terrible message and a message that shouldn’t be sent. There’s no reason for it.” He also issued an implicit threat, “Nike is a tenant of mine. They pay a lot of rent.” Maybe that means Nike will have to look for a new space — if this is true because we all know how Trump like to believe he owns everyone. For example, when he wrongfully said Aretha Franklin worked for him. The ad dropped on social media yesterday with a photo of Kaepernick and the text, “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.”   See below: BREAKING: Nike had been paying Colin Kaepernick all along, waiting for the right moment.

Don’t Get In The Way Of The Monsterbike

Archimedes said “Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand on, and I can move the world.” The modern version might be “give me gearing low enough and I can move the monsterbike.” It would be the perfect thing for our teeth-rattling trenched and patched bike lanes, or for when an idiot opens a car door in front of you; just plough right through it. On the other hand, steering looks a bit dicey. … Read the full story on TreeHugger
