Is this an about face, or is it a conflicted policy?

I appreciate his intentions in this instance.

Nike was heavily involved in the woke movement in my
opinion.

Spending money doesn’t do it though.

“Nike was heavily involved in the woke movement in my opinion.”

That’s what I thought. Why the reversal?

Yes, this surprised the missus and me as well. Good for him. I wonder how the university of Nike will react after this declaration?

Good news.

But it is a day late and a dollar short. Should have happened years ago.

He founded Nike. He is not Nike.

They are two different things.

Winds blowing other way, wanting to get out in front. Business man who made lots of money sees something, maybe?

If things do go another way, how many conservative virtue signalers would there be?
