Did Nike just pull a RedBull on their "diversity" department?
Nike's first-ever chief diversity and inclusion officer departs

After only two years on the job, Nike's first-ever chief diversity and inclusion officer Kellie Leonard has decided to "leave the company to pursue other interests."

Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.......well, except our quarterly profits......


Interesting that this moves comes right after Nike took it up the butt in the quarterly reportings.

Just a coincidence, I'm sure. If the don't renew the contract of the poor throwing SJW, you might be on to something.

Why would you hire someone whose job is to stir up dissension and trouble in the ranks?

These people aren't there just to expand your targeted hiring base.

RE: Did Nike just pull a RedBull on their "diversity" department?
I personally hope they diversify themselves straight out of business. They are just beginning to see that a washed up half black all trouble quarterback isn’t the one that sacrificed everything. It’s going to be an American corporation that alienated its consumer base by following the marketing lead of a millionaire moron.

It doesn’t seem like the wisest of all business plans to alienate those that actually buy your product in favor of a guy that you have to pay to wear it.

They better hope NIKE becomes the preferred athletic shoe of the Karens and Chads. Judging from the pictures of the BLM, ANTIFA and NAFC, those woke warriors don’t know what an athletic shoe is for.

You made your own bed NIKE. You pissed off the wrong people.

You do that because you are arrogant enough to believe you and your business are untouchable.

You're absolutely right Jim. When it starts hurting their pocketbook perhaps they'll be more woke but of the good kind. I've been saying that for a loooongg time. Let them pay those idiots that only cause dissension, I don't care, I won't be one of the ones that contribute to their paychecks.

Speaking of which, I got my second letter from Oblunder wanting some of my money. I was going to send them monopoly money but knowing these idiots they would probably dox me. LOL

Back to the subject. Boycott those companies, easy peasy.

How many times has that Gillette ad run, where a dad is helping their transgendered son shave, after P&G had to take a $5billion hit due to Gillette? I havent seen it once since.

You don’t really need to find out what’s going on.
You don’t really want to know just how far it’s gone.
Just leave well enough alone.
Eat your dirty laundry.

yea, it was like a double whammy hit to Gillette. Not only the SJW part of it, but in the ruckus, it was revealed that the Venus razors that Gillette made for women were identical to the men's razor, but cost a lot more, because Gillette was bending women over.

I ditched my Gillette Foamy and switched to Aveeno Shave Gel.

It was the most comfortable shave I have ever had.

Then my grown daughter told me I smelled like an old man.

Hello FOAMY!!
