Haven't they learned anything from the LA disaster?
From the article:
Only four days after the Valentine’s Day violence, Pistorius’ high-profile sponsors like Nike and Oakley continued to stand by him.
“All parties are supportive and their contractual commitments are maintained,” Pistorius’ agent, Peet Van Zyl, said. “They have said they are happy to let the legal process take its course.”
The case gets them some free exposure then they dump him after he gets locked up. No-brainer.
nothing wrong with that.
good for Nike and Oakley for allowing the full information gathering process occur before condemning anyone or making any determinations (coming from someone who has always hated Pistorious)

What we know for sure yet:
- the model and OP were the only ones in the house
- the model was shot
Clearly not enough for NIKE to drop him.
funny stuff, no one complaint about the cop getting a right to a trial before convicting him and burning down the house.

He was wearing an Oakley sweatshirt when he was arrested. This alone should be grounds for breach of the Nike Contract.
They're "happy" to let the legal process run it's course? Idiots or liars.
And once again the association of a Nike athlete with PEDs. It never ends.
What does it matter whether they wait or not? NIKE has a track record of supporting admitted drug users and criminals. If Pistorius is found guilty NIKE will continue to support him.
How can you blame them? Once you're sold your soul, there's no buying it back.

No.
If there's money in it for them they will.
At least they're consistent; they dont give a dang if someones clean, dirty or otherwise. Cash is King @ NIKE.

Funny, ... I don't remember seeing Tiger swinging a Calloway driver at a Titelist golf ball recently.
Innocent till proven guilty?
Why would they drop him now. Might as well wait for all information to come out and for the case to be heard.
Don't be retard. LA didn't kill anyone. No comparison.

You're correct. But no need to be a smartass. I dont follow golf. They did drop Lance, though.

was it in self defense?
Was it an accident?
Did he actually think she was an intruder? Would that have been reasonable under the circumstances?
Do I expect any of that to be true? not really...am I waiting until all information is known before reaching any conclusions? of course, like grownups do
