Time to Give Nike the Boot

[DocVol]

As bad the University’s virtue signaling a few years ago with new gender-neutral pronouns ‘ze’ and ‘xym’ was, it’s even worse embracing this inflammatory garbage Nike is putting out now as their face of the brand and, by proxy, the face of our University.

Kick rocks, Nike.

We could reach out to Spaulding I guess.

 

[Ty4Vols]

Mods, please merge and move.

 

[RollerVol]

heck, rather have Fila than Nike...it is weird to me though, I had to doublecheck my shoes and clothing...I don't even have any Nike anyway...I'm a NB guy...

GO VOLS!

Oh great, now Facebook isn't a large enough platform for people's beautiful political opinions.

Oh. No!

 

[DocVol]

Nothing in that is a political statement, nor was it, until you made it.

 

[jacklikesbeans]

Good point! Should of just left it at "beautiful"

Puma too

 

[SamRebel35]

Nike sucks for many reasons. This virtue signaling hypocrisy is just another log on the fire, imo. I've never owned Nike anything other than some basketball shorts I got from the thrift store.

 

[DocVol]

Puma too

Reebok pumps 4Lyfe

but ugly as hell.

 

[jacklikesbeans]

Crap, now it's in the politics forum and I'm just being a jerk. Will see myself out.

 

[aaronvol]

Remind me why we care about Nike vs. any other brand. I am sincerely asking.

but ugly as hell.

True, but I didn't want to disrespect his footwear

The way this board loves "tradition" and boring unis, I'm surprised we aren't demanding Spotbilt.

I wear some ugly shoes too. Comfort is king now that I'm old.

What about Converse??

They were popular back on the day.... we could also resurrect Kangaroos
