You know who to boycott. It’s not like they’re affordable with the tariffs anyway.

    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.

    Imagine, someone who champions slave labor to make over priced, defective “athletic” products is against democracy…

    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 actually liked Nike, until I heard of sweatshops, and now this.

      Could anyone recommend an ethical alternative that is also high quality?

    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.

      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.
