Nike warned people to not share “hate speech” on the company’s Instagram account.
The apparel company has been facing intense scrutiny and criticism after it decided to team up with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney – a biological male – in an attempt to sell leggings and sports bras.
People are not happy, and have made their feelings crystal clear on social media and Nike’s Instagram page. Now, the company claims comments it doesn’t like will be deleted. Nike responds to Dylan Mulvaney backlash.
With intense incoming fire from people upset at the belief Nike is disrespecting women, the apparel company decided to declare its Instagram a place where “hate speech” and “bullying” won’t be tolerated.
“You are an essential component to the success of your community! We welcome comments that contribute to a positive and constructive discussion: Be kind ❤️ Be inclusive ❤️Encourage each other ❤️ Hate speech, bullying, or other behaviors that are not in the spirit of a diverse and inclusive community will be deleted,” Nike commented on a Thursday post promoting a shoe.
Below is a screenshot of the comment.
People flame the company’s reaction.
The outrage with Nike didn’t start with this comment, but this attempt at damage control definitely didn’t help.
In fact, it looks like it just invited more criticism. The responses to the specific comment have been brutally anti-Nike.
Every comment seemed to be totally against Nike and none high up were in support of the company’s decision to partner with Dylan Mulvaney.

Nike does not want you buying their product.
How many freepers are going over to instagram and going to put Nike on blast after this?
So big companies are willingly joining the leftist rush to destroy the moral foundations of civilization. Why?
I like the idea of selecting one woke company and everybody boycotting this one company until they change. Then go to next target.
Too bad Rush is not alive.
Nike isn’t worth my time. I have daughters to raise.
Does Boycott Nike qualify as hate speech because that’s all the needs to be said.
Stopped buying nike when they supported colon kaepernick
no dissent allowed
applaud or shut up
Nike can stick their swoosh up my tag line….
Nike can kiss my butt as long as they kiss the transvestites butt.
when will dylan be doing a spread in playboy?
When did Nike get its credentials to determine what hte speech is?
Can’t even define what a woman is anymore based on their latest move.
+1
A deep and resonant F*** Off is my response to Nike.
I like the idea of female college athletes boycotting their sports until men are banned from competing against them.
I would but I’m not on FakeBook, Twitter or InstiGram.
Picking one, That would be a very good move. Rush we really need ya. I think Anheuser-Busch should be it. Wide appeal with plenty of alternatives
Nuke Nike from orbit.
I’ve said all along all of the females should line up like they are going to compete and then do nothing but clap for the soyboy. It’s not hate speech to clap for them (even though you don’t mean it).
I started boycotting them - after a lifetime of using their Pegasus running shoe - over Betsy Ross. I threw my Nike shoes and running shorts away.
I wish I could boycott them harder but nothing Nike has been bought since then - or ever will. This house is a Nike-free zone!
Delete Nike.
