Nike funds GOP at 3x rate as the Dems

"There seems to be a bit of a disconnect between Nike’s branding and the sporting good giant’s political leanings.

While Nike has caught heat from right-leaning supporters for its decision to feature Colin Kaepernick in the company’s latest ad campaign, a new report from the Center for Responsive Politics — a non-profit, non-partisan research group focusing on money in politics — shows that Nike employees and its political action committee have donated more than three times as much money to republican candidates as democratic challengers for the 2018 election season."

Phil donated a goodly sized pile of cash to the GOP running for Governor up here.

The narrative surrounding Kapernick from both Nike and the GOP was hogwash. They’re only beholden to the almighty dollar.

True, I get it tho, with a fragmented media, people are looking for confirmation bias in other areas of life.
