Dude already has his billions.
We need a wealth tax.
True.
He financed a spoiler candidate for OR governor last election. That spoiler candidate was too obviously right wing to siphon enough votes, despite what she was being paid to say.
Phil knight is strongly opposed to democracy.
Imagine, someone who champions slave labor to make over priced, defective "athletic" products is against democracy...
What's he trying to get a pardon for?
If I'm reading this right, the record he's breaking is his own.
SO glad I don’t have any Nikes. Up yours, Phil.
I wanted to buy Nikes recently. But all their designs were ugly, so I ended up with adidas. Not sure if owner is better than nike or not, but at least I didn’t get Nikes.
Whatever you do, don't Google "Adidas history" then
How unsurprising this oligarch. Always betting on the fucking elephant.
Never had a swishy because they were then expensive 33 years ago as they are now.
Fuck him and his shitty shoes that give me blisters
Drop dead, ghoul.
Nuke nike
I wish someone would step up and take care of this problem.
An Italian friend perchance?
It's-a Regular Giuseppe!
Maybe he could give that money to the state so they don't have to raise the gas tax
Add that to Tesla, Facebook, Oracle……
Heh. Fuck Nike.
Overpriced fashion accessories for impressionable people with disposable income.
I never have nor will I ever purchase a pair of Nike shoes.
We truly do have the best government money can buy.
I have one pair and i like them. But for a lot of people it's a religion.
These evil men really all look like demons
I've been boycotting them my whole life already
boycotting them my whole life already
My boycott cant get any harder
Dude looks like a walking wart
He’s on the list.
Anyone know of comfortable sneaker alternatives that are reasonably priced, available globally, and aren't hideously ugly?
I've been wearing Jordans for most of my life. They're cheap, they look good (I like them) and they're comfy. But the quality has been going down the last 5 years or so and the writing had been on the wall.
I guess now is as good a time as any to make a change but every time I've looked for alternatives I've been frustrated that nobody makes shoes I actually like.
Depends on... well, a lot of factors. I'd start by looking at "walking shoes" and "trail runners", they tend to be lightweight and comfortable without fully giving up on durability. Appearance is a matter of taste.
Didn't the Republicans boycott Nike some years ago? Do they still? It would be very funny of everybody boycotted them.
