Nike is going to move out of the Portland area anyway. The port has been closed since 2016 because it's too small for the current generation of ships.

They're losing money due to being "woke" but also due to closed gyms, canceled sports, etc.

Even their slave labor in China can't make their gear cheap enough if people aren't buying.

GE Aviation is laying-off 10,000.

"The company announced the downsizing July 22 after disclosing a rare money-losing quarter in June.."

Long may the nike rare money-losing streak continue.

Nike hates female athletes.

The company has repeatedly pressured state lawmakers to not protect female athletes, but instead to force the females to compete against males (who claim to be women).

How many of them employed just to wash the feet of the annointed woke supertars?

While the rest of them may just be normal working folks that are expendable because to cut the endorsement contracts would be racist.

Pity. Maybe they need to do more social justice rioting.

Actually, 13,000 … not 10,000.

“I won’t even encourage my kids to play team sports.”

Nothing wrong with American Legion baseball. Teaches young people teamwork, competition and sportsmanship.
