Nike makes it big selling shoes that are not worth (in terms of material and workmanship) the price to a community that largely can’t afford them. It encourages the spread of thug culture rather than lifting people up. And it’s also known for horrible sweatshop/factory conditions overseas. It’s a terrible company.

Wouldn’t Euclid Ave. in East Cleveland have deserved the honor of a MLK designation?
I had to find a business there once, and am glad I won’t have to go back.

Just wait until we get “Barack Obama Boulevards” in all of our cities.

I went to this store about a year ago, early morning, there was QUITE a security force inside. It was a useless trip, they didn’t have what we were looking for. Nor did the downtown store, nor did any of the outlets.
Why advertise shoes that you don’t have in stock anywhere? (And these weren’t the stupid limited edition $600 Air Jordans.)

Tough to watch this happen to one of the companies that pioneered Virtue Signaling. Well, no, actually it’s sort of amusing.

Don't put the cart before the horse. They named the streets after MLK after they had turned into crime-ridden strips.

Easy, just hire only "Locals", as drivers.

When Nike requested off duty police assist with security, they responded with “the city simply didn’t have enough officers on staff and couldn’t get more trained and certified fast enough.”
Who in their right mind would want to be a policeman in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago, etc, etc.

It would be more appropriate to name that section of road after Barack Obama. A few years ago, I bought of piano from Capps Piano there. Back in the 70’s my wife taught at an elementary school in East Cleveland. It was sad then now it is a tragedy.
The current MLK Blvd name replaced Liberty Blvd. It was named in memory of the men lost in World War I. Just the start of renaming historical places to destroy the past.

Excellent points....Too bad it goes right over the heads of “”woke”” companies...Capitalism means customers and a business that contributes to the community in jobs and place for customers....””Woke”” means deserts....Food ,crime, loss to community....
