And gun sales spiking after mass shootings mean that gun support is up right.

Thats not how these things work. Theres always going to be a spike in sales. Most snowflakes were not going to go out and buy Nike shoes last weekend anyway. You have to look at long term sales.

If you switch to Nike from Adidas, why would you go back? If you're the type to buy athletic apparel, it's probably a perennial choice and if they're self advertising . . . they'll stick with what they've been doing.

If Democrats don't want people to think they want to ban guns they should stop trying to pass legislation that bans guns.

Down a few points while in a 5 high year high. Stocks are still higher than what they were from January to June and have been recovering back up. I'm sure you knew this already though.

If she's complaining that she literally can't afford food, cheap shoes would seem appropriate.

And you know the full story around her and her clothes?
Could be a gift, could be for her job, could be any number of things justifying it.
And why are you interpreting her sign as hyper literal?

It's the start of the school year. The increase in sales is due to kids buying new shoes for the school year and team sports. There were enough of these sales to negate the bad publicity, and the sales would have been even higher if not for the commercial.

$112 would buy upwards of four hundred or so ramen bricks.

That's because the people "boycotting" don't actually wear or buy directly from Nike. They shop at Bass Pro Shops, Walmart or Tractor Supply Co. #rednecks

People should read the article. It's not that sales are up 31% because of the ad. It's that sales are up 31% for Labor Day Weekend relative to last year's 17%, for a net improvement of 14% relative to last year in terms of Labor Day weekend sales. Nike is also trending higher in sales across the board for the year, so some of that 14% is likely also driven by a general boost in Nike market penetration compared to past years.

Still a bump, but nowhere near a 31% increase.
