College of the Ozarks "Wankers" to Boycott Nike Products
https://www.kmbc.com/article/college-of-the-ozarks-drops-nike-after-colin-kaepernick-controversy/22998828POINT LOOKOUT, Mo. —
The College of the Ozarks – an NAIA school in Point Lookout, Missouri – said in a release Wednesday that it will “choose its country over company” and will remove all athletic uniforms purchased from Nike or that contain the Nike emblem.
The private Christian college said student-athletes will no longer wear the Nike brand in response to the company's 30th-anniversary ad campaign featuring former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
“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.
“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.”

Nike's gotta be hurtin' after that....."bring it!"
They won't watch Netflix or Amazon Prime, they won't shop at Macy's or Bloomingdales, or Zappos, or Marshalls, they won't go to NFL games or get a Starbucks, won't eat Kellogg's Cereal...
They are so crazy and hatefilled that they'll eventually just be sitting in empty rooms wearing plain clothing and watching static-filled screens. Hey wait, a minute, that almost sounds like...
