Why are people against wearing/supporting NIKE?

[Smorgasbordgie]

I'm hardcore Nike... Even my weight-lifting gloves are Nike ! Been a fan/supporter since forever!

I have no clue why but...

Nike FTW!!!!!!!!

 

[infamousod]

also, Nike is #1, occupying the top spot guarantees more people will come after you, just ask McDonalds while Popeyes and KFC have a ton of more fat andcholesterol.

thank you for that groundbreaking piece of information. Converse is an independent subsidiary which does manufacture some shoes domestically, the fact thatNike owns Converse doesn't change that.

its now 'hating' to boycott a company based on those things?

just cuz you feel the need to buy every Nike product out there, because some athlete or celebrity supports it...doesn't mean those who boycott are'hating'...

wake up

 

[nick0lis]

people act like this $##* isnt going on in any other big company. just cause nike got caught all the tree-huggers are crawling out of the wood-work and onlyboycotting nike.

in order to get away from all the illegal labor practices, you'd have to go live under a rock.

get teh @!@% outta here with that @!%@.


im done.

wouldn't buying from converse be like buying from nike though? wouldn't that just be giving nike more money to build sweat shops? i may be wrong, butit seems like your logic is flawed.

they are independent. As in I own a company and you buy my company. So I'm within your authority but I still get to do my own thing. I doubtNike is dumb enough to put any say into how Converse runs their business (they've been around almost twice as long).

but as it is, nike still profits from converse's sold merchandise? am i right?

That's not me.. i'm just saying, there's plenty of reasons to not support them, if you were so inclined.

basically....

I know what you guys are saying is true, but the funny thing about people who say we shouldn't support Nike are wearing Reeboks, Old Navy Jeans, and a Gap T shirt....then they go home and take food out of their fridge, put it in their microwave, and watch TV. All appliances that are made in overseas sweatshops.....

Truth. You can't pick and choose companies to single out for sweatshops when almost all of them probably use them in some form or fashion.

I think people just like to go against the dudes that run $%%! in every industry, to be honest. People always need a cause to get behind, and of course themajor players get singled out first.

I prefer the three stripes, to be perfectly honest.

When it comes down to anything that has to do with sports, I'm looking out for an Adidas product.
