can't boycott any harder.

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.
What's he trying to get a pardon for?
Imagine, someone who champions slave labor to make over priced, defective "athletic" products is against democracy...
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.
Growing up poor in the 80s/90s Nike was a hated symbol, there was no chance I'd get anything beyond walmart brands, if new was even an option. So I learned to hate these symbols, but Nike chief among them. Today it's funny but I can't bring myself to buy it even tho it's a much cheaper brand.
I actually liked Nike, until I heard of sweatshops, and now this.
Could anyone recommend an ethical alternative that is also high quality?
I have one pair and i like them. But for a lot of people it's a religion.
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.
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.
I've been boycotting them my whole life already
Maybe he could give that money to the state so they don't have to raise the gas tax
Even don't like nike, Adidas is much better.
I wish someone would step up and take care of this problem.
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.
Thanks for the recommendation, unfortunately not what I'm looking for, I prefer a high-top sneaker rather than a running/walking shoe. But I appreciate you taking the time to respond
High-top is tricky right now, they aren't trendy so options are limited. If you haven't looked at skate shoes, Vans has more options than most and are pretty affordable. There's also ebay and a huge market of sneaker resellers but I can't make specific recommendations there. Good luck finding something you like, I also have a hard time finding stuff that fits right and doesn't look stupid.
Haha yeah that's always been my problem. What I like isn't trendy, which makes it hard to find. Fortunately my current shoes are only maybe a year old so I've got a good couple years before it becomes a problem.
I recently bought motorbike shoes. They're high-tops (to prevent my ankle being crushed in an accident), look good, and are incredibly comfortable. I'm toying with the idea of just switching to motorbike shoes for day-to-day use when my current shoes need replacing lol
I'm quite partial to asics
Thanks for the recommendation. I took a look but didn't see anything I liked. To me, they give off a middle aged divorced dad look that I'm not quite old enough or divorced enough to pull off
Adidas (not sure about availability)
This guy is the anti Christ, just look at him
Never liked Shooter McGavin
...everybody look! a rich asshole is helping other rich assholes!..look!..it's news!..not the fucking pedophile president....
Didn't the Republicans boycott Nike some years ago? Do they still? It would be very funny of everybody boycotted them.
Goddamn liberal sissies
Boycott everything won't ya
Save those delicious Conservative tears, I need some exotic bitters for my nightly Old Fashioned.
