can't boycott any harder.
Dude already has his billions.
We need a wealth tax.
True.
He financed a spoiler candidate for OR governor last election. That spoiler candidate was too obviously right wing to siphon enough votes, despite what she was being paid to say.
Phil knight is strongly opposed to democracy.
What's he trying to get a pardon for?
If I'm reading this right, the record he's breaking is his own.
He’s on the list.
Heh. Fuck Nike.
Overpriced fashion accessories for impressionable people with disposable income.
I never have nor will I ever purchase a pair of Nike shoes.
We truly do have the best government money can buy.
Growing up poor in the 80s/90s Nike was a hated symbol, there was no chance I'd get anything beyond walmart brands, if new was even an option. So I learned to hate these symbols, but Nike chief among them. Today it's funny but I can't bring myself to buy it even tho it's a much cheaper brand.
I can relate. I grew up in the Mississippi Delta so poverty was certainly not a lifestyle choice.
I have one pair and i like them. But for a lot of people it's a religion.
I actually liked Nike, until I heard of sweatshops, and now this.
Could anyone recommend an ethical alternative that is also high quality?
SO glad I don’t have any Nikes. Up yours, Phil.
I wanted to buy Nikes recently. But all their designs were ugly, so I ended up with adidas. Not sure if owner is better than nike or not, but at least I didn’t get Nikes.
Whatever you do, don't Google "Adidas history" then
How unsurprising this oligarch. Always betting on the fucking elephant.
Never had a swishy because they were then expensive 33 years ago as they are now.
Drop dead, ghoul.
I wish someone would step up and take care of this problem.
An Italian friend perchance?
It's-a Regular Giuseppe!
Buying your politician is all out in the open now.
Add that to Tesla, Facebook, Oracle……
Nuke nike
These evil men really all look like demons
Fuck him and his shitty shoes that give me blisters
I've been boycotting them my whole life already
boycotting them my whole life already
My boycott cant get any harder
Maybe he could give that money to the state so they don't have to raise the gas tax
Even don't like nike, Adidas is much better.
Nike shoes never fit my feet properly anyway lol, my feet are just too wide.
So...professional athletes who take Nike money support fascism?
What a fucking ghoul
...everybody look! a rich asshole is helping other rich assholes!..look!..it's news!..not the fucking pedophile president....
Anyone know of comfortable sneaker alternatives that are reasonably priced, available globally, and aren't hideously ugly?
I've been wearing Jordans for most of my life. They're cheap, they look good (I like them) and they're comfy. But the quality has been going down the last 5 years or so and the writing had been on the wall.
I guess now is as good a time as any to make a change but every time I've looked for alternatives I've been frustrated that nobody makes shoes I actually like.
I'm quite partial to asics
Thanks for the recommendation. I took a look but didn't see anything I liked. To me, they give off a middle aged divorced dad look that I'm not quite old enough or divorced enough to pull off
Asics for sure.
Depends on... well, a lot of factors. I'd start by looking at "walking shoes" and "trail runners", they tend to be lightweight and comfortable without fully giving up on durability. Appearance is a matter of taste.
Looks exactly like I’d expect.
This guy is the anti Christ, just look at him
There’s stiff competition for that role I mean trump, Thiel and Stephen miller are all higher on the list. He’s one of their officers in the demon army for sure though
Looks like a corroded old ballsack.
Never liked Shooter McGavin
He looks like a cancerous testicle.
I thought this is an AI generated remake of musk's photo :)
Didn't the Republicans boycott Nike some years ago? Do they still? It would be very funny of everybody boycotted them.
