In its annual securities filing, Nike warned that "negative claims or publicity involving us" from key endorsers or sponsors can "seriously damage our reputation and brand image." It added another risk: "Social media, which accelerates and potentially amplifies the scope of negative publicity, can increase the challenges of responding to negative claims."
