Wow. Traffic on @Nike after they announced that @Kaepernick7 will be the face of the anniversary #JustDoIt campaign.

If they were aiming for attention, it worked.
Average of 1.4 tweets per user.

66.2% retweets.

Consistent with organic traffic flows, not substantially gamed traffic.
Top hashtags #Nike and #JustDoIt. In third place, but some way behind, #BoycottNike.

Boycott calls are part of the arsenal. Cf. NFL, Keurig, etc.

#maga just edges #colinkeapernick. 1.3% of uses vs 1.2%.
This exchange summarises the divide pretty neatly: threats to Nike's business (and socks) vs mockery of the threats.

Note the retweet numbers.

Threat: 7k.
Response: 18k.

Would be fascinating to see Nike's cost-benefit analysis on this one.
