'Nike, I am done with you': Woman sets her Nike sports bra alight in 'Burn Bra Challenge' on TikTok as the gymwear giant faces boycott over Dylan Mulvaney partnership
Daily Mail UK ^ | April 13, 2023 | Stephen M. Lepore

A woman declared herself 'done with' apparel giant Nike and burned a sports bra made by the company in response to its sponsorship deal with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.

Last week, Mulvaney posted images of herself on Instagram in what was labelled a 'paid partnership' wearing a Nike Women sports bra and leggings and going through a workout routine. The choice to hire Mulvaney proved controversial, partly because she is not an athlete and has not yet had gender-reassignment surgery.

A TikTok user who goes by the handle 'Chatterbox Mama' who describes herself as a 'Southern mama' posted to the app burning her Nike sports bra and protesting Mulvaney's sponsorship.

'Nike, you should be ashamed of yourself,' she said in the video. You chose a little boy with no breasts and some junk in his pants to represent real women.'

The account, which has over 140,000 followers and has now been viewed by thousands seeing her protest, has said she feels like Nike is 'pushing us around' in the ways women have been oppressed in the past.

'Since the 1960s, we have been fighting for the right to be women,' she said. 'Nike, you should be ashamed of yourself.'

She then declared: 'I will never, ever buy a Nike product for as long as I live and there are millions and millions and millions of women just like me.'

The account is now asking other women to do the same 'as a way of showing our solidarity and how serious we are that we will be recognized.'

She promised that they would make Nike's problem a financial one as she put two of the bras into the fire by her backyard pool.

Glad to see women pushing back.

FReeper Ladies, go to a thrift store and find a Nike bra to burn. Film and post it. At least if bought at a thrift store, more so a Christian one you support them and not Nike and get the word out.

If women want to preserve their sports they’ll have to do the same thing

A mentally ill man wearing a bra. Sad and ridiculous all at the same time.

Oil of Olay products need to be dumped too for using this man in a dress. A man’s skin is thicker, coarser, and different from a woman’s.

The homosexual thugs have become arrogant to non-homosexuals since they have all the power.

Even worse, a major corporation deciding to use that mentally ill man as a female impersonator model for women’s sports apparel.

Women are offended by crude parodies of femininity? Even some men have similar sensibilities?

I mean, like, who could have seen that coming?

No, not partly because he has not yet had “gender re-assigment” surgery, because even with the surgery, he still would be a man.

He would be a eunuch, but certainly not a woman…

Outrage. Hilarious, hilarious outrage.

Scene: “Conservatives” walk out to the barn in morning, sipping coffee.

Conservatives: I love my nice peaceful conservative life and my excellent coffee. I will never have a problem because I am a conservative and protected from evil by my beliefs and customs.

*Despised neighbor next door meanwhile is yelling at meth-cooking freaks just a farm away*

Neighbor: GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, YOU FREAKS!!!

Conservatives: *chuckles* I guess that person has a lot of problems because SHE IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE AND THEREFORE NOT PROTECTED FROM THE WORLD’S ILLS BY HER BELIEFS AND CUSTOMS. Too bad for her!

Neighbor: MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND THERE WON’T BE A PROBLEM, A$$HOLE!!

Conservatives: I sure wish she would shut up. It’s her own fault people are spying on her and stalking her! And, of course, it’s her fault that a bunch of freaks moved in next door to her. *tsk, tsk*

*Conservatives notice the barn door is wide open*

Conservatives: Hm, wonder how that happened? I am always very consistent at keeping the barn closed at night.

Neighbor: I HATE THIS F***ING PLACE! THE M3XICANS CAN HAVE IT!!!

Conservatives: I sure wish she would move. *sips coffee* *walks to barn* *gasps in shock* Where......where are all my cows!!!?????

*Conservatives stand staring in confusion for some moments, wondering how and where cattle could have gone*

Conservatives: Well..... *looking around* I’m sure we’ll figure things out eventually. Meanwhile.... *closes barn door* *latches barn door* *walks away whistling*

Two points....

Firstly, Big Pharma and the ghouls in the “medical” community are cashing in big time by exploiting the mentally ill.

Secondly, we have finally found the people who are disliked equally by both men and women! This Mulvaney joker is the LAST person who would appeal to either men, or women!

Nike just opened a huge show case store in my local upscale indoor mall.

Opened Monday - close to 100 people waiting to get in.

Tuesday - ten people waiting to get in.

Wednesday - three actual customers inside the giant store.

My Seattle suburb town is 80% Democrat and 90% white and Asian.

I am uncertain we have the necessary racial mix to make this store a success.

Within the last two years, Microsoft, Amazon, and Disney all closed their show case stores in the same mall.
