2020
PK: get me an old white guy to run my company. Must hate sports.
JD: As thou wishes, my master
2024
PK: What the he-l happened? $2 billion in market cap gone. Get me an even older and whiter guy. Must be retired.
EH: Woo! Giddy up pardner!
NKE is doomed. It’s INTC without billions from the CHIPS act to prop it up.
Or….
PK: Get someone that understands that the athlete is at the core of everything we do and our mission is to inspire and innovate for athletes! Get someone that can restore a culture of teamwork and trust.
EH: I’m in. There’s no finish line.
"Get me an even older and whiter guy."
EH is 4 years younger than JD.
As for the whiteness thing, I guess for the OP, caucasian is caucasian. But how about we look at qualifications and suitability for the job more than the color of EH's skin?
EH earned this role and should have had it in the first place back in 2019. Glad PK and the board finally figured it out and gave him the chance to fix their mess.
Interesting post. Obviously JD was a poor choice and lead the company in all of the wrong directions. Good riddance. Bringing in EH who understands the industry, the company and has a good track record is a great answer. We are all hoping he can bring back some swagger, some brand and make people want to work at Nike again.
When you can't make it on the merit of your own abilities....Just DEI it...
OP is definitely a troll. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a conservative guy just trying to stir people up (and this is coming from someone who doesn’t even agree with most of Nike’s DEI stuff…)
OP: Tell me you use preferred pronouns in your signature without telling me that.
100% true.
You sound very racist
