What are you shaking your head about? That shirt has been around for at least a few years. They now pulled them from stores. Relax.
Edit: Nice edit to your original post. Probably after you actually read the article.

why the surprise? The shirts aren't related to the bombings but they did the right thing...

I think Nike made these shirts a few years back ... Makes sense to stop selling them due to what happened in Boston.

It sucks, they're not related. It's the same situation with the Nike Air on the Bakins and the shirts that resembled arabic writing. It's a PR move if anything.

Of course it's a public relations move, isn't that the nature of most business? The public would not relate well to a seeing those shirts in the shops at this time.

I got a shirt outside Fenway in 2004 that looked a little like this except it said "Bukkake Matsui." Instead of blood drops in the block letters, it was, well you know...
They didn't let me step foot in the park wearing it
Even Red Sox fans gave me the :x face

ugh, the t-shirt is a couple years old AND it refers to the drubbing the BoSox got from the Yankees in Sept 1978 when the phrase was coined (in relation to the Yankees / Red Sox rivalry) . . .

I'm sorry but I think this is silly, we are getting to a place where we can't do anything without insulting people. I understand Nike is being proactive b/c some *** clown who never steeped foot in an athletic store and saw the shirt prior to 4/15/13 will end up seeing it soon and make a fuss. It's getting really stupid living in America today.

I guess I'd understand if they took them off the shelves at NIKES in Massachusetts for a little while (even though it wouldn't make much sense if they were there in the 1st place). A lot of things could be perceived as insensitive.
Should they stop producing copies of Blown Away also, a movie about a bomber terrorizing Boston?

It's kinda stupid honestly tho if you all were in their position you would be doing the same ****
Imagine some clueless joe roaming into footlocker snapping a pic and uploading it to the social networks for all the "experts" on conspiracies to theorize about how nike foreshadowed the bombing or are making light of the situation, look at the family guy episode, **** would be a pr nightmare

i need to see that shirt
I think one of my college roomies stole it. it's literally the only one I've ever seen. If I could somehow dig that shirt up, I'd be the happiest dude. It was actually a pretty high quality shirt too
