Agree with most of what you are saying, just disagree with the response. I am not advocating for conservatives and centrists staying quiet. I am arguing that staying silent on this particular situation is correct. What I am saying is in fact that drawing attention to the campaign is just promoting it. Ignoring it is the better response. The more attention it draws the more it succeeds, it is a non-issue really because of the very things you describe. It is the use of a failed sports figure, who divides and offers at best a confused ideology.

This is grandstanding by Nike, a misguided attempt to capture the cool/hip factor but it has consequences and I will let them live with those. Will it sell more overpriced footwear? I don’t see how but I don’t identify with it and don’t think most will. Let him writhe in his fifteen minutes of fame but he is not worthy of my anger of retribution. I’ll continue to not buy Nike crap, most will and if ignored his fifteen minutes will pass quietly. Had we ignored this whole carnival from the outset it would have faded long ago. I allow them their “civil disobedience” I won’t allow them my attention.
