He and Nike are so noble.

Part of his reparations is that he gets to own slaves through his advertisement deals.

How does one kneel their way out of a Nike contract?

I'm sure Kap will figure it out...you know, for justice and shite.

Main reason why Lebron "held back on getting political" about the China NBA problems

Trump should BAN these products from the USA starting TODAY. Go all out and arrest all executives with these companies. Slavery will not be tolerated per the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, which outlawed slavery over 150 years ago

Nah it's all good. Nike signals the correct virtues so they get a pass on things like this.

We have slave labor here too. It's called $7.25 an hour minimum wage.

That would put him in a real pickle since his daughters products and his own, MAGA hats, more than likely use slave labor as well since they are made in China.

Yeah, but there's no one standing by at the Taco Bell armed and not letting them leave.

If you own a mutual fund that has equity in it there is a good chance you own shares of one of those companies making you a partial slave owner by proxy. I'm gonna go cry a river now.

*pretends to be shocked*
Pretty much everything you own was made from slave labor. It is what it is, if anyone has better ideas on how to manufacture stuff I'm all for it.

And we do still have actual forced labor pop up in the US from time to time. Most often it happens at large industrial farms, particularly those with a sprawling footprint and extensive independent management at the field level. It mostly happens to migrant farmers who fall into debt bondage. It is real and is a rarely talked about black eye on our food supply industry.

Pay the workers, like New Balance's USA line?

First you have to be a less than mediocre QB and then find a paying shtick once you realize that you aren't going to cut it in the NFL

Most definitely part of it.

These people don't think things through very well ... but then nobody holds them accountable so why should they care.

He's OK with owning Asian slaves. It's owning African slaves that he is allegedly troubled with.
