I don’t own a pair of Jordan’s if that’s what you’re implying.

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


This isn't an opinion, it's a fact.

Nike is already heavily invested in building a plant in Arizona. At this point, they have two options. They can continue to build and forfeit the millions of dollars in incentive that Arizona was giving them. Or they can pull out and lose the time and money already spent on the Arizona plant. Both of those options result in a multi-million dollar impact on Nike.

I didn't say it will cripple them. I didn't say they would go bankrupt. But it's still taking a hit.

Predicated on your own opinion. You have a crystal ball?

From tWSJ:
quote:

Nike plans to invest $185 million to open a manufacturing facility in Goodyear, Ariz., that would employ about 500 people, according to city records. On Monday, the Goodyear City Council approved a package of incentives that would reimburse the company about $1 million in planning fees and about $4,000 per full-time employee Nike hires, according to city records


Massive hit they’ll be taking lol. Should send shares plummeting.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

I don’t understand how calling this fool out for his blatant anti-Americanism is akin to being triggered.

It's not.

The tards in here going "hur hur it's just a shoe stop being triggered" will probably be the first ones to raise holy hell once this SJW bullshite affects something they actually care about.

Not really. They had shipped a couple hundred thousand units to stores then had them all get returned. This was going to be a big seller for them for the 4th.


So will there suddenly be thousands of poor Africans wearing Betsy Ross shoes to go along with their 2018 Alabama National Champs shirts?
