The extent of my knowledge is his kneeling during anthem protest which cost him a place on an NHL team or something?

I’m not denying he is a brave or good man for this. Clearly he deserves a lot of respect and support.

NFL, NHL is the hockey one isn’t it

But showing solidarity for a political movement, speaking up for maringalised people isn’t really like trying to be the strongest and best athlete. It’s kind of the opposite to me.

BITT has put it well above

Also doesn’t sit well with me with stuff like this:

Also, in April this year the New York Times published a damning report on the company which opened with the line “For too many women, life inside Nike had turned toxic” and detailed how staff outings ended up at strip clubs, reported how a boss at the company tried to forcibly kiss a female subordinate and how women at the company were “made to feel marginalised and were largely excluded from crucial divisions”.

looking forward to the next Nike campaign

It’s a classic, definitely worth your time when you have the time

Reminds me of the lecture on Derrida I went to when I was young and didn’t really understand at all but wanted to
