"Hundreds" of Nike employees walk out to protest re-opening of Salazar Building

The more the leftist mob hates Nike and Al Sal, the more I am inclined to support them. Just ordered a new pair of Pegs.

***The 1st sentence has been edited but basically the poster was calling the protestors hypocrites but in a racist way that compared them to livestock.***

Let’s protest the abuse of middle class white women and negate the poor brown one who is making the shoes.

I just bought my son Jordans and a nice hoodie for my son for christmas. But on the other hand....

I hope they find a way to dock their pay. What are they protesting? They are okay with paying $1 per day to have the shoes manufactured but they are upset that Salazar told a pro that she has to keep her weight down to be world class.

From the article:

"This fall, several athletes—including Mary Cain and Amy Yoder Begley—accused Salazar of berating, humiliating and body-shaming them.

In early October, after years of investigation into Salazar's coaching practices, the U.S Anti-Doping Agency banned Salazar from coaching for four years after finding he had encouraged his athletes to use performance-enhancing drugs."

Yet Nike still loves him. Drug cheats out!

Will these employees address the sickening overseas wages amongst their Nike colleagues?

So how do you reconcile supporting Nike because the leftist mob complains about them with the leftist mob supporting Nike for supporting Colin Kapernick?

If they were really that pissed off about it the 400 odd would resign from Nike rather than do a virtue signalling protest.

Couldn't agree more.

+1

When libs are potentially hot in the pocketbook, they're a different person altogether.

Curious if these employees were aware of Cain begging to rejoin NOP this last Spring...?

From the Oregonian today, "In a bizarre twist many Nike employees were seen doing Igloi type workouts in the parking lot(Warmup: 20x100, 15x150, 20x100, 10x200, 15x100, warm down) wearing T-Shirts that said "NO SALAZAR TEMPO, OVER DISTANCE OR BIG MILEAGE". And have signed a pledge to continue this type of running until all references to Salazar have been removed from the Nike Campus.

Nike Spokesman Hicham El-Guerroj called the group "A reactionary retro cult inside the company that is obsessed with 1950s illogical and dangerous training methodology"

Please joining me in praying for this beautiful, kind, Christian man. I believe Alberto (I DO NOT believe pagan Mary Cain) and I believe he will pull through this witch hunt with the power of Christ.

Alberto, if you are reading this, please keep the Faith, and please remember to always pray. The Power of Prayer is strong.

M.A.G.A.

Putting Salazar into the rapist “Me-too” bucket is completely and total BS!!! This guy pushed the boundaries a little that’s all and people are so hungry to grab pitchforks and signs - Grow the Hell up!!! Why did Mary want back in if Salazar was so abusive???? This who thing is an infantile arachnophobic response to nothing but a bug or two!

So they're not really that pissed off then.

"The two employees shared that they feel stifled by Nike's culture." - Then leave, it's a free country, it's not compulsory to work there.

You have no idea how pissed off they were and neither do I. But sometimes you don't have the luxury of walking away from a situation you don't like. And sometimes you decide to remain in that situation and try to improve it.

Exactly! It’s just like the Appalachian coal miners who were forced to work in the mines to pay off their debts to the company store.

Only one way to figure out the truth. Mob mentality style. Lets just burn them both at the stake. Whoever survives is telling the truth and is innocent!

"You can't speak out against any injustice if you aren't speaking out against every injustice under the sun"

So the implication here is that the most important injustice to focus on is that of first world problems. At least be real about what you are suggesting. Can't speak out against everything, so if its going to be something its gotta be the first world problems right?

think a little more solid there wrote:

That is not implied anywhere in my post that was merely pointing out how absurd it is to claim that you cannot protest X if you aren't protesting Y, Z, A, B, C, etc. How is voicing that Salazar is a cheat and a bad person "negating the poor brown" person making shoes?

Let's not forget that the cheat Salazar has been banned for a number of anti-doping rule violations by an unanimous decision of the American arbitration panel AAA for four years based on all the evidence, after USADA wanted him banned for life-time. .

Is that true? Do we know it was unanimous? I know at points in there was some language implying disagreement on a few topics.

Since you are here wejo, what's with all the deletions of factual posts pointing out that Slaney and Salazar are drug cheats?

I don't see any posts about that here or in the deleted threads. If you have questions, please email

Looks like I'm coming back to Nike products now! Which is awesome, as i really missed the Pegasus.
