Render unto Caesar, dude. Money is evil!
perhaps he'll go swith over to being trained by haas, and get a contract with skechers. maybe that will work better the second time?
His stock will never be higher! How do you know he’s talking to Nike?
Haha. Not wise to post something cryptic like that and his manager should manage him. That said, I think he just means "everything is different now."
This has nothing to do with the gold medal, he’s just b1tching about Bidenomics in France and the price of eclairs

"Everything is different now" - That would have been the easier thing to say. What he is saying is "get ready to open the check book Paul (Moser) and don't even bother double checking that with John" (Capriotti - who still really makes all the decisions there).
But I agree with you it's unwise - I wouldn't be playing hardball with Nike on $$$ - you're going to get a lot - just rub their noses in it because the moment things don't go your way (and this doesn't last forever) they will f--k you in a heartbeat if you have that type of attitude.
And either way, it does seem a bit odd that a guy who allowed "God to carry him to the finish line" - I thought people like that weren't motivated by $$$? :D
It's just a cool thing to say
He wasn't talking about Nike. He was talking about the chocolate muffins in the village. People are gray market selling them because they've gone viral on social media and every day the price is going up, up, up.!!!
Your move Donahoe!
It is like the Ninja Turtles 3 movie when they go back in time to Japan. At first the deal between the bad guy and the emperor was cannons for silver. But then the ninja turtles came along and the price changed to cannons for gold.
Realistically if you were Nike (or any other company) how much more is he worth today? Not much. You really think any distance guy is really helping sell stuff? Pro running is corporate charity for established companies.
Maybe Nike short changed him in the prior negotiation.

He's right and tomorrow's price will not be today's price. So what??? In theory Tuesday's price should of been the higest price(the day he won the gold). Everyday removed from his victory--the price goes down. Again, so what.
What he's saying is that no one, absolutely no one, in the history of the Olympics has done what he's done. Nobody’s done it better. It's truly unprecedented. No one's ever seen anything like it before. So he's gonna build a nest. And Nike's gonna pay for it.
Could be aimed at DL meets directors.
If it's aimed at shoe companies, I hope he doesn't get too aggressive in negotiations. With the best will in the world, he's not the most marketable athlete out there. A skinny kid who looks like he's into Scandinavian death metal and really bleak fantasy novels isn't shifting much product for you. He's no SML
clearly talking about the stock market.
Different world, the whole field is <3:30 capable but Nike needs to pay Hocker
And not fielding offers from other companies is just bad strategy their not the mob, they aren’t even Google.

Is it? Maybe for Americans it is - the majority of the world find chirping like this kind of tiresome and insufferable tbh.

This was my first thought as well. They're going to want to see him in the DL and it won't just be for flights and accommodations only. This story is only in the first chapters.
