Nike CEO John Donahoe called the sportswear apparel giant a "brand of China" this week, following a fiasco it was involved in earlier this year over concerns about human rights abuses committed by the communist government.

nike ceo john donahoe grovels for greenbacks.

Or wheedles for yuan.

I'm so glad I haven't bought any nike product in decades.

[HighSierra5]

What a subservient puke.

[Jyotishi]

No Like Nike.

“I’m so glad I haven’t bought any nike product in decades.”

Same here...why don’t they move their corporate offices there...

YUp. I’m going 2012. I laugh at these idiots who have to LINE UP for effing Jordans. I buy New Balance almost every time, they’re made in the US and not woke. Barron Trump wears them every time.

Hey at least he’s honest. Those who are happy to support these globalists who keep selling their nation for table scraps will have it on their conscience, not mine.

if it’s any indication what the chinese worker thinks of Nike’s groveling, I think the message was sent when they mispelled the brand name on an entire shipment of shoes

All of the professional and college sports teams supported by Nike need to disassociate themselves at once.

The Nike check-mark logo should be the red star of the CCP.

Is it any wonder that ⁦Nike⁩ actively promotes anti-American sentiments? https://t.co/RATtj2cikq— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) June 25, 2021

.⁦@Nike⁩ to the CCP:

Genocide?
Murder & torture?
Slavery?
Concentration camps?
Deliberately covering up a global pandemic?

There was one of those nasty lists online of things boomers like that hold them up to sneering ridicule by fashionable younger people, such as “dad pants.” Using email instead of texting. Going to shop at a mall. And buying New Balance shoes.

I like them.

I’m 75. As the late Sonny Bono used to sing , go ahead “Laugh At Me.”

I thought this was the Babylon 🐝 until I double checked.

The NBA is certainly no longer a Brand of the US....

I wear socks with my River Sandals in the Winter [life is too short to spend time lacing and tying for short outdoor excursions]. So, sue me...

[RetiredTexasVet]

I’m sure the PLA will all be wearing Nikes when they invade Taiwan and Australia.

[Pilated]

I have never bought anything with this logo. I plan to never contribute money to this company. That will be around 30 more years of not getting any money from me.

[The Right Edge]

I don’t buy their crap ANYMORE! I’ll go barefoot and naked before Ill have anything to do with their brand.

Nike makes military boots, their Special Field Boot line. Here’s one of many options: https://www.nike.com/t/sfb-gen-2-8-tactical-boot-ZwTJlXe3

It’s very possible the PLA *will* be wearing Nike products.
