Nike will take no hit whatsoever.
Sure, many of us will never buy a Nike again, but guess what? Whatever sales they lose from us will be more than made up for from the people who LIKE what Kaepernick stands for.
In fact, I'd expect that they will increase market share substantially by distinguishing themselves from the competition.
This was a business move, pure and simple.
And it will make Nike big money.
Not from me. Not from cops. Not from a lot of other people. Sadly, our opinions don't matter.
Kind of like horse racing.
Had a guy say to me (on a different topic), "Who gives a f**k what a bunch of old men think?"
