NBA, NFL & Nike Run Today's Plantations

(CU News) - Nike leads the way by telling us they're fighting “against discrimination in communities worldwide.” Not only that but they are “working every day to erase the stain of racism and the damage of injustice.”


Is it just self-serving lip service, a flat lie or both?


If true, why would their shoes be made by an oppressive and morally corrupt dictatorship? China is the flagship for so many evils that protesters and left wing activists quickly reference as American shortcomings. Again, we're left wondering is it intentional or ignorance?


The uniforms LeBron James and all the NBA players wear — the ones prepared with social justice messages stitched on the back — come from Nike. And the cotton used in making these jerseys is picked by slaves. Not workers being paid slave wages. Literal slaves.

I hope all professional, and collegiate, sports go broke.
I also hope the Three Gorges Dam breaks.

I found reasons not to buy Nike products years ago. Now I won’t patronize a business that sells Nike products. BLM and Antifa want to import these horrors to America, and they just might succeed.

Support them. Feed them. Then they can use YOU and YOUR hard-worked for dollars as THEIR SHEEP.

What is said about Nike can also be said about those who supported the free trade deals with China.

Nice loaded question.

I still play sports for fun.
NCAA sports are largely the minor leagues for pro sports.
I had fun in college drinking beer and chasing girls.

Get wise. There is no such thing as collegiate sports. It is just an extension of professional business. It is a cancer on post secondary education. It is a rip of all students particulary the so-called “atheletes”.

I’m 73, don’t go to college, but still have fun chasing girls and drinking beer. The only problem is that now fewer girls let me catch them.
