Good for them but any other city desperate for income and population growth will just welcome them with open arms afterwards

That’s dumb. So the state of Arizona is trying to convince one of the largest companies in the world to not bring jobs and revenue to their state? AZ’s loss is another state’s gain.

ETA: and conservatives want to lambast virtue signaling by the left.

I’m sorry, most people don’t like people denigrating this country. I know, it’s a shock to you that citizens of this country don’t like it, but it’s true.

Sure, another state will gain from it. But Nike will still take a hit. The amount of planning and money they already have sunk into the Goodyear deal is not trivial. This isn't some twitter boycott, this is real.

Honestly, Nike will probably still build in Arizona because the lost millions in incentives and waivers will likely be offset by the loss of pulling the plug at this point.

WTFFF.... I am really at a loss here.

A company in America won;t produce a product that has an American Flag on it? Cause they are ashamed of it?

Nike should bring that plant to Mississippi. No flag controversies there.

Love how people are convinced this is the case when Nike has a PR slip up.

Everyone was convinced they’d take a hit after the Kaepernick commercial/endorsement...nothing. Everyone thought almost ending Zions career was sure to hurt them...nothing. Nike is a corporate juggernaut, its going to take more than this to meaningfully impact them.

Or just like the product and don’t care about him bc his actions have no impact on their daily lives.

Yep.
Anytime i see someone with Nike on I say under my breath

“Terrorist”

And normally when they ask ? Huh? I say “sorry just a sneeze”

And then when they walk away I flip them off

Nike for using slave labor to make their shoes


He can't because blacks were the only race to ever be "enslaved".
