    How Embarrassed Is Nike Right Now?

    Sorry if this thread's already been discussed. Might've missed one. I've been busy studying JJ's toupee video to see if there's any hidden meaning.

    That Zion Williamson incident couldn't have been more embarrassing. Maybe the highest profile college hoops game of the year. Obama is in the house. Espn televising. Not even a minute into the game and Zion's "SHOE BROKE". Then he goes and twists his knee probably finishing his entire college career. Wow!

    I'm not crying any tears for Nike, don't get me wrong. They sided with Kap over the men and women in law enforcement. I'll wear other brands.

    You're probably right. Their stock took a hit today though. I hope they go bankrupt.

    JJ, how can you say they're not embarrassed at all? They're very embarrassed.

    Zion was trying to "Just Do It" and instead he "Just Sprained It".

    That POS sneaker he was wearing didn't do it's job. Very damaging to a company's reputation.

    Nike should be embarrassed

    I remember when Nike ID custom made shoes first came out... I purchased 2 pairs.

    I walked over a simple small ice/snow hill.... about 3-4 inches deep.... ice punctured the bottom of the custom Nike ID shoes... lighting cold ass ice water hitting the bottom of my foot.

    Never purchased Nike shoes again...

    It happened a few years ago with Ginobli and I don't remember anyone even talking about it.

    Got to love how the liberal media won't point out that workers getting paid 20 cents a day to make these shoes is a big part of the problem.

    I haven't bought anything Nike in at least 30 years. I bought a pair of running shoes that fell apart after about a month; I had a pair of golf shoes that didn't last 36 holes. I learned my lesson.
