All my NIKE shit went in the garbage, all my NFL swag has been in a tub in the attic since the day the NFL decided kneeling was cute…. No, I did NOT donate my NIKE shoes and clothing to the poor. Why should the poor be forced to advertise for NIKE just because of their financial situation?

Fuke Nike.
Anyone from Beaverton here??
Nike use to be a missile site technology in the Cold War.

When I was in an MBA class I mentioned I would NOT wear Nike products because they so abuse their workers.
The rest of the class acted like that was weird.
Imagine that – caring how people are treated is weird.

No matter how much your kids whine, scream and cry don’t buy them any Nike products regardless of which one of their thug heroes are shilling for the shoes or other product.

Just F*ck Yourself.

@ghost of brig gen j glover, there is a ruined Nike Missile early warning radar site on San Bruno Mountain (in Calif.) where I hike overlooking the ocean. It’s too bad they didn’t preserve it, but there are photos posted around the site.

@ Conservative Cowgirl- many Nike/Nukee ‘sites’, new and old, to hike and discover.
@Ghost of brig gen j glover, thanks! I didn’t know there were so many. I’d like to find one that’s more intact. Also, I looked up Brig Gen John Glover. That was interesting history!

While there might be some where that NIKE pays .20/hr, and yeah it seems that sucks, the fact is they are offering work at a market clearing price. Apparently the options people have there are limited and taking a .20/hr job is a good one because the jobs get filled.
What corporate does with their profits is unrelated to ways they can reduce the cost of goods sold.
Would it make any difference to the commenters if the goods were American made and they still ran with their BS ad campaign and support of Kap? Not to me, I had been a big user of NIKE tennis gear for decades and put my stuff into boxes years ago and buy other gear now.
Or vice versa, if they paid a market clearing wage overseas but supported conservatives?
As an aside, I have long supported one way to fight the teacher’s unions would be to disengage employment from them and allow school boards to offer teaching jobs at market clearing prices. You know you’re over the target when you get the flack and that suggestion gets more return fire then vouchers.
You can give them shit for Kap et.al. and stop using their products just like you can with all of the other companies with which you disagree(except for google, paypal and their ilk, funny that huh?) but I have no qualms with companies taking advantage of lower cost of livings in other countries.

Slave wages is slave wages. If a conservative American company was doing this I still wouldn’t buy their crap. But who are you kidding? DUDE, A CONSERVATIVE AMERICAN COMPANY WOULD KEEP THE JOBS IN AMERICA IN THE FIRST PLACE!
the only Nike product I ever bought was a pair of boat shoes. And they were on sale. I soon found out why. The soles didn’t grip and the leather was shitty quality. And they smelled. And once they dried out the leather was like petrified rock.

Nike rockets used a rugged vacuum tube in the
electronic guidance system.The RCA 5692, a hopped
up version of the twin triode 6SN7.It had steel
post inside the tube to reduce microphonics.Highly
sought after today! The Idio-Audio-files love them.
Fetch about $100 a piece.

@Ghost – as usual Wikipedia got it wrong. Under the Nike site listings for NJ, they missed the Nike site in Upper Two, Cape May County. It was on Route 9. I think it’s the site of a concrete plant now.

I worked in an old Nike missle silo in Gaithersburg, MD in the early 1980s. I worked for National Bureau of Standards, and we built research solar collector systems underground and raised them to the surface on the elevator for testing. It was an excellent use of the abandoned silo.
It is still there. Here are the coordinates: 39.116732, -77.219628
Some of them are right under peoples noses and they have no idea…

The old Nike missile site just west of Fairchild AFB (15 miles West of Spokane) in Deep Creek is now used to grow mushrooms and a storage site for Wash. State govt. archives. I remember driving by there back in the early 60’s when we were on Hwy. 2 going from Spokane to Ephrata where we lived for about 3 yrs. from 1961-64. The Town Square in downtown Ephrata on Basin St. had an Ajax missile on display right on the main drag thru downtown Ephrata at the time, I still remember seeing that.

@Jethro, Never knew! I use to party there with the inventor of the internet Al ‘whats his name’,,, anyway, it was just up 355 from Hank Dietle’s and the Rockville Drive-in,
Good times!
(Hank Dietles was the best! Men didn’t wear Wife-Beaters, in that place the women did and called them Husband-Killers)

@ No Blushes
Rockville Drive-In…I remember going there as a little kid in the 60s.
I never visited Hank Dietle’s, but I did buy beer at Belby’s Beer and Wine.

Donated all things Nike to bums in a Blue Tarp subdivision under a bridge. Cracks me up to see filthy, drug addled bums sportin’ Nikes.

@Mansfield Lovell who claims “Slave wages is slave wages.”
Wrong(and pardon this) dipshit. Would you rather have the people in these countries have NO other options? You’re as bad as the moroons that look at Columbus through the eyes of a person living today.
Do you know what a market clearing wage is? Lord I hate ignorant conservatives(and I’m assuming here) worse than REgressives.
What should they be paid in a country where the annual Gross Income is less then $2000? C’mon smart guy, tell us.
NIKE is paying them about $1700. That’s SLAVE wages? Get fucking real.
Isn’t that headline redundant?
