Because we’re a publicly traded company and going political is going to alienate a large segment of your customer base. We need to be a company that sells products to ALL PEOPLE. Taking a side impacts shareholder value. Plus you never win when picking a side because then you’re stuck and the side you took will want more and more ransom.
It’s not difficult... Stick to selling apparel, footwear and equipment and leave the politicking outside the workplace.
Less about wokeism and more about the rapidly dropping support of lgbt rights in our core demographics. And I’m not talking about R vs D.
If you want to learn more find some of the recent polls and actually dig into the numbers. The news is only comfortable talking about age group breakdowns but there’s more in there.
Good riddance
Go woke go broke
Where’s that guy who’s always on here saying “Go woke, go broke.” Followed by some deep hatred for culture differences. I mean this is bait for that dude, right?
these comments all su-k. there is no 2024 betrue collection or any type of announcement indicating there will be one. It's not "overly woke", corporations supporting pride month in some way is so widely accepted now that it's notable when they suddenly stop.
I wonder how our LGBTQ leaders are feeling about this
Not really sure why we need to celebrate who we choose to have relationships/sleep with. I couldn’t give a sh*t, but now days we feel the need to do it and over promote it. How about we stop hanging out medals for being basic humans.
There is a be true collection but its mostly sold out. Get your facts straight- pun intended
lol. Everyone with a serious answer is getting their comment deleted. The answer is politics.
And that apparently offends the mods
Get over it. Nike is a business not an advocacy platform. I don’t personally agree with this choice but I’m not surprised the ghouls up top made it
Because they got rid of the people that actually designed and developed the products. You will see how many other things will not be made in the future.
Nike is beginning to realize that being overly woke is not the best identity for the brand to maximize sales
