Oh, you’re right. When Tampa Bay eventually compensates me for my pirate-related suffering, I will give you a cut.

Not buying anything from Nike, the NFL or the Redskins.

I'll just watch them all burn... and laugh.

Nike folded (just like the Washington Redskins do every season).

I’ve never, ever owned anything made by Nike.

Why does Nike, that company of pure virtue, continue to work with and have factories in China, an oppressive regime that imprisons Muslims in concentration camps and is attempting overthrow Hong Kong?

That thing always reminded me of a check mark. And now I realize that’s exactly what it is — a check mark indicating that an object has been verified “woke”

Me neither. And I don't plan to.

All they care about is their stock price. They consider themselves a global company that has it’s headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon.

They think it’s a privilege to work there.

China has been their focus for awhile - growth in the US has been flat for a few years.

The Redskins probably have no "legal rights" under the terms of that contract. NFL team apparel is licensed through the NFL, not the individual teams. This spreads the sales revenues among all teams, not just the ones who sell the most licensed apparel.

I'll bet the Redskins apparel isn't anywhere near among the most popular in the league, either.

I would imagine there is some sort of contractual agreement between the NFL and Nike, something is being broken with them doing this.

The biggest threats to this country are select big corporations. They funnel money to radical groups and use economic threats to promote PC.

Nothing. Maybe the Redskins can change the mascot to a potato. Or will the term “redskin potatoes” also be on the forbidden word list?
