Just do it.

Legal scholars would recognize the concept of ...

.... "anticipatory breach of contract" ... and an "announcement" of an INTENDED breach of an agreement might trigger some liability on the part of the announcer, since the manufacturer might INTERPRET the announcement as an INTENTION to breach the agreement.

It wouldn't be a CRIME, but it could be the basis for a civil action!

Now .. back to anecdotal opinions as to the nonexistence of cancelled contracts.

been a long time since a majority of whites were on the racist side, if ever, so yeah you are right there, you would be even more correct by deleting the "anymore", in fact the anymore may make one wonder about your views or understanding, you might want to fix it

the lamentable thing would be if the majority of whites or those any other color, ever thinks cops in general or the military or the flag or the constitution aren't worthy of honor and respect

I think you and I have a different idea of where the racist line would be, but I see your point though. Let me rephrase it with consideration to your opinion. We have reached the point where the majority of Whites agree that Blacks are not treated the same as whites within our judicial system.

I do not think we are even close to a majority of folks having disdain for the flag or the Military. The cops however have been out of control for awhile. Another thing I might add is they are the only law enforcement that Trump has not publicly announced his contempt for.

So I assume you've found no cancelled contracts for Nike as of this point in time.

Really?

Is that based on ALL "WHITES" spending extended periods of time within courtrooms in the United States to observe the disparate treatment among defendants of different "colors" and "shades"?

Or is that based on a statistical analysis that shows that a higher % of the Black population are incarcerated than the % of the White population is incarcerated based upon and relative to their respective population numbers?

Or is that based on White people wearing Black masks to Court?

You can "assume" what you wish. Anything that I might offer would not convince you otherwise, but I can imagine from some personal and professional experience that an "executed" contract could not be cancelled, but conversations and communications with respect to a prospective purchase might be discontinued in order not to burden the purchaser with potential litigation based upon an "expectation" of a binding contract between the parties that is not yet signed and/or otherwise by the parties' words and/or actions finalized for a future purchase.

Most of the governmental and/or corporate purchases have an internal process that must be followed and obeyed with respect to entering into binding contracts, and most of them require some sort of approval by a "controlling body," whether that be a "board of trustees" or a "board of directors."

So suffice it to say your question, if that is what it actually is, is premature for the purpose of attempting to prove you are correct. If one were in the past involved in such activities one would already be aware of the "budget" process requiring approvals with bids, even, for significant purchases by either the public or private sector.

bet the bump in sales is from overseas.

Nike has 700 factories in 45 different countries most of them in Asia. It may take a long time before Nike begins to fall. When they do, and they will, it will be a loud bang heard all over the world. This company is greedy, vindictive and they don't care who they may hurt.

Nike products are shitty quality. The shoes are crap. They last maybe six months. I buy Brooks running shoes. Its all about the money with them.

Years ago I bought a nail hammer "Made in China." I liked it because the handle was wood. When I started using it I realized the head was slightly rounded and when I struck a nail it would tend to slide off to the side of the nail and bend the nail.

Perhaps the nails were "Made in China" also.

I keep it as a reminder about buying shit from China, et seq.

The past couple of years have been refreshing. Hopefully our nail hammers will start being made exclusively in the U.S. with flat heads and the nails will be made stronger.

The best NONDRESS shoes I have for longevity are a pair of Josef Seibel's, although they don't seem to sell that style/design any more, which is a shame. I'll have to replace them with some other style they sell. Yes, I know, they aren't made in the U.S. (that I know) ... some are made in Asia, some in Europe, and some in the "Americas" .... ?

So your rather long-winded answer is "No". When you find a Nike contract cancelled due to the Colin Kaepernick fiasco let us know. I think some cancellations may come but Nike will roll on.

Get back to me when Nike "falls" and I'll be the first to say you were correct in your prediction.

Like I said earlier, Nike canceled Manny Pac's contract supposedly from some anti-gay comment he made. This even though Nike sells shoes in Muslim countries where being gay is punishable.

I remember when when Colin's Kaepernick's kneeling first started. The NFL or some NFL approved outlet said that his jersey was then currently the number one selling jersey. I haven't seen a Kap jersey EVER and I see a ton of people wearing NFL jerseys around Houston from all different teams.

It's like the latest Hillary book. They inflate the numbers and then the return numbers are buried.

Again "assume" what you wish. It was long to educate you.

Sound educational procedures recommend repetition:
