What a great ad. The editing was as, if not more, impressive than the message. A+
Wow

hypocritical of Nike to put this ad out, but sure if you like emotionally dishonest gaslighting, great ad.

Yep.

Thanks for sharing. Another reason why I consider Kaepernick a fraud. He’s accepted millions from Nike despite this and also their history of using sweatshops in other countries.
great ad

DC Gmen Fan : 7/31/2020 6:11 pm : link
with Jason Whitlock discussing Nike and its ties to China. Worth a listen.
If only Nike could get their merchandise to their biggest retailers...

We’ve been very low on Nike merchandise since re-opening. They are having trouble shipping. Very frustrating....

Maybe their retailers should reconsider selling their product until they stop using slave labor?

Wasn't Nike credited with forcing Washington to change their name? Maybe stores like Golf Galaxy would score some points if they forced Nike to stop using slaves.
Really?

Care to explain that? You do realize that that Nike is using cheap labor and charging exorbitant prices. Not sure they are directly using slave labor, but there are serious questions about it. They are a little to cozy with China.
They can't be telling others how to live and use enforced labor because it is out of sight. Quite hypocritical.
Aren’t nfl and giants jerseys still made by Nike?

If you aren’t boycotting the giants and the nfl then you’re hypocritical too.

So are the Yankees.

In effect, you are right, but I cannot tell pro sports or college sports what to do. But I don't buy Nike. 1st they are overpriced. 2nd I don't like the products, never have. I can only do my part. And they(Nike) are the true hypocrites - like the NBA closing their eyes because it benefits them greatly commercially.

The day Nike decides that can make more money promoting Fascism you will see a different kind of ad. They just place their bet dad by day.

I don’t see one. Maybe you have your Karens mixed up.

Ps the whole Karen and boomer usage is fucking bullshit. Just millennials being hypocritical with the broad sweeping generalizing that they usually rail against.

Ditto this,but that's for another time
A few thoughts  
Matt M. : 8/1/2020 12:19 pm : link
1) Not defending Nike, but how many sneaker manufacturers are not doing the same thing?

2) I do t know their current situation, but I don't recall them having a huge presence in China. A lot of their manufacturing was in the Philippines and somewhere in southeast Asia (I don't remember which country. The bottom line is still the same with sweatshops, though
Nike is based in Oregon ...

re slave labour  
RasputinPrime : 8/1/2020 12:46 pm : link
isn't our economic model predicated on it? There are outliers and various degrees of materiality for sure but let's call a spade a spade.
I see a few FUCK NIKES  
Ryan in Albany : 8/1/2020 1:39 pm : link
every time Nike is mentioned on this site. I never see FUCK APPLE or FUCK SAMSUNG or FUCK MICROSOFT or FUCK BMW when they're mentioned. They're just as guilty of slave labor as Nike. We know the reason why Nike is called out here. Anyway, the editing was amazing and it was a great ad. The end.

When there is a thread about any of those companies started here I'll be the first to say F them too.

You are a treasure. Does it honestly make you feel better to constantly accuse everyone on the planet of being racist? You feel like a white knight?

We are all aware of your whacked out political extemism. We also know that when you call out “Karen’s” that you actually mean “racists”, so why don’t you just come out and say it? Coward. It’s also lovely that you feel you can freely call people “Karen” that are calling out human rights issues. But, I guess your view is that it only matters if it’s happening in the US? Every ecekse can go fuck themselves? Out of sight, out of mind? I guess guys (nut jobs) like you don’t get pats on the back and hugs and kisses for speaking up about problems in the rest of the world so who gives a shit...

You’re a real hero for human rights, you should be proud!
