BEAVERTON, Ore. (AP) — Nike has unveiled a hijab for Muslim female athletes.

Nike unveils hijab

Nike unveils a veil? Doesn't that make the veil immodest? Won't Moslems plant bombs in outrage? I'm so confused. . .

Only two or three pair of NB: yard work and very casual dress. Comfortable and they don’t wear out.

I can see that this will greatly increase the competition in the Olympic sack races. They’ll give them catchy names like the Saudi Sack or the Baghdad Body Bag.

“And bang goes my interest in Nike.”

I also will change brands. When will commercial establishments learn not to go public with their politics?
