Sharron Davies leads boycott of Nike.

Yes.

What a load of cry babies on this thread. I'm dead against transwomen competing in women's sport but they exist and have the right to be who they want. I don't see what advertising to them and marketing to liberal people who support trans rights is anything to get so worked up about. The advert obviously did its job seeing it's getting so much attention.

Later I’ll post a video of me burning all of our Nike products.

Sharon Davies is a British former swimmer, winning medals in an era that few other British swimmers (women or men) did. She’s now a well respected presenter for BBC and does the post-swim interviews at all major meets. Good for her for using her platform to speak out on issues she cares about.

. . . so step it up and mancott them then.

For years and years Nike has supported drug dopers (Lance, Marion Jones, U.S. Postal) and never had a great program for their elite female runners (Fleshman, Felix, Cain, Salazar as coach) and NOW all of a sudden folks are righteously upset at Nike because they support trans rights?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you're looking for a reason to boycott Nike, that party began a good 20+ years ago.

You don't like that a trans woman that you've never heard of is selling a product that you don't use on a website that you're not on?

Ok then.

I haven't given a dime to Nike is many years. I like Saucony Endorphin Pro or Adidas Adizero Adios Pro.

Nike gives ad dollars to a trans person:
”I’m done with Nike forever.”

Nike putting vaporflys 20% off: “Dylan who? I’ll take 2 pairs.”

It's not an ad that anyone here will even see. Dylan Mulvaney has 10 million followers on TikTok and Nike have asked if she wants to feature their products in her videos in return for money.

Sharron Davies has lost her mind over this. She's encouraging her considerably less numerous followers to send Nike products to their European HQ in Amsterdam in protest.

It makes no difference to sports whether Nike employs trans people. This is just her being plain nasty.

I stopped buy anything Mike and got rid of all my Nike stuff a few years ago but not because of this or the Kapernick thing. Their use of child labor, dirty supply chain, number of doped athletes (look how many buildings they had to rename), and the bribary allegations with the Brazilian FA all lead me to not be able to support them any longer.

I buy mostly from small boutique brands where I can (lots of Soar that use European instead of Asian labor for example) and while the other big brands aren't perfect they aren't nearly as bad as Nike. Even the former Nazi supporting companies are better at this point.

Lol sure buddy.

The hate in your heart is being weaponized for marketing. The most hot button culture war right now involves trans people. Nike sponsors a trans person, ignorant people get upset, Nike makes the news, and then they get free advertising. Truly a smooth brain play to advocate for exclusion and hate. And again, I would reflect on how kindly history treats those with hate in their heart.

Anybody else think Kloptop is the person who posted as Wickle and Tickle on previous trans-related threads?

In response to your question, derp derp derp: they can't come up with anything else because this set of insults is basically their way of calling you a heretic. According to the religious worldview outlined in the doctrine of intersectional oppression, oppressors like you can only listen and validate, never disagree with the enlightened (POC, queer "folx," and especially trans women of color). Sure, Dylan refers to female genitalia as a "Barbie pocket," yeah Dylan insinuates that women are incompetent bimbos, yes an unhinged mob of psychopaths attacked Riley Gaines while shouting thought-terminating cliches (trans women are women!). The people who get mad about this stuff have hate in their hearts.

False. Good for her. It’s about sending a message.

I agree with you about hate in one's heart. But believing that biological males have no place competing in girls' and women's sports does not mean that you're hating anyone.

What does that have anything to do with this Nike ad?

Many women think Dylan Mulvaney, aka Dylan Misogyny, is the one being nasty here - and the group he's being nasty to are the female half of the human race.

From the start of his "Days of Girlhood" shtick, Mulvaney has spent more than a year relentlessy mocking members of the female sex by portraying us as shallow, ditzy, completely frivolous and inane airheads whose only function and aim in life is to be pretty, ornamental clothes-horses, wearers of cosmetics and consumers of brand-name products. He's also routinely body-shamed us by, among other things, making fun of us for menstruating and using tampons, and calling the organ we menstruate from and give birth through a "Barbie pouch" and "Barbie pocket."

For this, Mulvaney has not only gotten millions of followers on TikTok and gigs advertising products for brands like Nike, Budweiser, Ulta Beauty and Tampax - he also was invited to the Whte House, where he had a sit-down meeting and personal chat with POTUS Joe Biden, who showered praise on Mulvaney for "living your authentic self" and doing such a good job promoting "trans rights." This was followed up by an official letter of commendation from US VP Kamala Harris congratulating and praising Mulvaney for reaching his 365th "day of girlhood."

Mulvaney's 365th "day of girlhood" was also celberated by a gala and stage show at Radio City and a stay at the legendary Plaza Hotel. At the Plaza, Mulvaney ruined a beloved series of children's books by dressing up like the 6-year-old fictional girl Eloise, and prancing and skipping around for the cameras "girlishly" in a big hair bow, short pleated shirt, knee socks and Mary Janes.

If Mulvaney were getting rich and famous off pretending to be African American, black African, Jewish, Muslim, Chinese, Mexican, Arab etc and making daily social media content for millions in which he histrionically acts out the most degrading, dehumanizing, trivializing and insulting stereotypes about those groups of people for entertainment, everyone would see the problem. Tons of people would be up in arms condemning his behavior.

But because Mulvaney has chosen to caricacture, mock and insult women and girls, he's being celebrated as progressive and lionized for scoring a victory in the male-dominance movement that some falsely claim is the next frontier in civil rights.

It's bad enough that in 2023 men like Mulvaney can make a fortune and be applauded as stunning, brave and heroic for engaging in a modern-day misogynistic equivalent of the racist minstrel shows that white supremacists used to put on in days of yore.

But what's even worse is that blokes like you have the nerve to condemn women who vociferously object to being riduculed, demeaned and debased in this way like Sharron Davies by saying Davies has lost her mind and calling her "plain nasty."

You’re trying to deflect and distract us from the main issue: trans ideology is out of control and should not be a part of our society.

most of us don’t care if someone wants to undergo surgery and change their gender, just as most people don’t care who you date in your personal life, but when trans activists invade every aspect of culture, tell you how to think, what to say, demand that you get on your knees and worship them, change the spirit and mission of company values, and force their ideology onto you, then it comes time to speak up and tell them we are done with their antics.
