Have never bought Nike, never will.


Yep, blame the company for the designers stupid comment. No personal accountability exists. It was an 80s thing. "Not my fault” .

A company is a reflection of who they choose to employ.

I think by merely posting on this board you are a poor reflection on your company. Get over it. One guy. I can accept a little of the blowback on overseas labor practices, but the idiotic comments of one employee.

I guess the entire Secret Service is scum based on the actions of 8 agents...

Obviously. In fact, I'd say the entire federal government is scum based on the actions of 8 agents. Indeed, probably the entire human race.

I'm not fussy about what brand I wear but have to admit that Nike make the best shit. Far far from a terrible company.

I have owned a running store for 15 years doing $2 million in sales a year and NEVER once had a Nike rep visit.

I highly, highly doubt that this was their first time or that they were the only Secret Service agents to do this. Kind of like how the first time I got caught drinking was "totally my first time".

How much money does Nike give out to sponsor basketball players?

How much money do they dole out to RUNNERS?


When you figure out the answer, tell me this. Why would a runner buy Nike products?

I await your responses.

Nike pays Solinsky and Rupp more than they do most basketball players.

As long as Nike keep making good quality products I'll keep handing over my money. I suspect 99% of people will do the same.

The basketball argument is so retarded it doesn't deserve a response. It's business not charity.

Conversely, if Nike fired this guy, someone such as yourself would post something erroneously lamenting the erosion of free speech in the United States.

Why visit? You are doing 2M without him. If you needed his help, maybe (I hope) he would visit. It's a compliment to you that you don't need their help.
