Nike (NKE) stocks have climbed over 25% this year. Stock is back up over $80 today. Republicans LOVE to rejoice over the downfall of anything that doesn't meet their approval. Nike is a multi-billion dollar, multi-national company. They have the rights to a large number of professional and collegiate teams and don't really care if Republicans buy their merchandise. It's safe to say Nike had a pretty good idea of what was going to happen when they announced the new ad campaign and just didn't care. Now, back to the regular old Republican whining.
