I'll give it a year or so. I guess it's not their fault that Woods is such an egocentric numbskull that he would take the Medal of Freedom for winning a golf tournament. No one told him not to? What?

Because they supported Kaepernick. It had the reverse effect

Next time someone asks me why or if I want to play golf, I will have another snarky reason.

My gripe is with Woods not necessarily Nike.

That was them putting their company on the line to support an athlete who was being completely vilified.

Boycott Nike because Woods accepts a medal from Trump and Woods is their client? It's not Nike's fault Woods accepted a medal. I doubt anyone has a clause in their contract banning them from accepting a medal from the President.

If you want to boycott someone boycott Sheldon Adelson's casinos.
