This family will not buy their products

“ The sports apparel giant is reportedly funding a five-year study on trans-identifying male children who are being given puberty blockers and hormone therapy — all to see whether suppressing male puberty early enough can make competition in girls' and women’s sports more "fair."
But let’s call this research what it is: disturbing.”

Here's the Outkick link

The words allegedly and reportedly are doing a lot of work in this article, but buy whatever shoes you want.

Nike is a shitty company with zero ethics. I haven’t bought Nike in about 25-30 years.

I really don't think Nike or Phil Knight gives a damn about whether trans athletes, gay athletes, straight athletes, soccer moms, street thugs or professional teams buy their products....so long as people keep buying their products.

I haven't bought anything Nike in well over 10 to 15 years. I never cared for their shoe products, and I think much of their apparel wear is overpriced.

I support Freedom Industries -- they are all American made, and make a fantastic tennis shoe.

Haven't bought anything Nike in almost a decade.

Prior to that I didn't even buy their shoes because they're shitty quality. Clothing isn't bad. But, I still haven't bought.

Nike has been woke trash, doesn't surprise me at all.

Hadn't worn Nikes since they signed Lebron James 90 million before he even stepped on an NBA court.

I'd not heard that before and they don't claim it on their website that I could find. Are you sure?

I feel like there have been a few Nike boycotts over the last 20 years, doesn’t seem to matter.

I'll alert Nike that 19 people from an alt-right message board are going to stop buying their stuff.
