“In their new ad campaign, we believe Nike executives are promoting an attitude of division and disrespect toward America. 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.”


I turned on my Googles to try to figure out what kind of college would drop Nike due to an ad campaign....


College of the Ozarks

They from the Ozarks, :scust: a spot on the Missouri/Arkansas border that's famous for White Supremacy movements. The Ozarks are where the FBI laid siege to a White Supremacist militia called "The Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord" and the place where the White Supremacist who shot up those Jewish spots a couple years ago came from. The KKK, Christian Identity movement, and League of the South all have headquarters in the region.


Closest town to the college is 97% White and 0.2% Black :mjpls:

College's faculty is 99% White :mjpls:

College's student body 94% White and 0.8% Black :mjpls:

"We’ve never had any racial problems that I can think of," states the school's president. :snoop:

After Kaep's protests started, the school not only passed a rule forbidding any student from kneeling during the anthem, but even forbid opponents from kneeling during the anthem. They declared they would boycott any game if they detected that “disrespect is exhibited toward the American flag or national anthem.”. :mjlol::pacspit:

The NAIA Division II championship had been hosted at the College of the Ozarks for the last 18 years (:mindblown:) but the NAIA dropped them last year when the college declared that all participants had to respect the flag or else. :umad:

Starting last year, the school began requiring students to take a Patriotic Education Fitness Class, which includes "lessons on American politics, the military, and flag norms...rifle marksmanship, map reading, land navigation, and rope knotting. Students also must be able to run a mile and will engage in other physical education activities." :why:

"We’ve always had some aspect of the military. Usually we try to cover rank structure and how the military is kind of organized," said the college’s director of patriotic activities, Bryan Cizek. "We’re just getting a lot more intentional with the military curriculum." :dahell:

Nobody cares
Surprised mike even knew who they were to give them a sponsorship
more than likely nike was giving them a discount on gear. they don't have value to any manufacturer because no one sees their games or cares about them.

anyway with where they're located (white nationalists central) and the physical requirements for students, it seems like they're getting them prepared for some kind of armed struggle for the soul of america type shyt.

Just looked up the school. Notable alumni. Personally don't know who any of these people are, but it's clear to see what type of school it is.

Terrence R. Dake- 4 Star General
Mike Duncan- Republican Party founder of American Crossroads
Casey Guernsey- Republican Party
Willis Ricketts- Was the 1962 Republican gubernatorial nominee in the U.S. state of Arkansas
Becky Ruth- Republican Party
Lyle Rowland- Republican Party
Don Phillips- Republican Party

Add to the fact it's in the Ozarks and can't say I'm not surprised.

Wonder which athletic brand will sponsor them next? You think Adidas or UA?
