. . "But a recent political donation raises questions about whether Nike itself "believes in something" or is simply exploiting progressive politics to sell shoes and apparel.

On September 22, 2022, Nike donated $25,000 to the Republican Governors Association (RGA), an organization currently seeking to install pro-Trump extremists in powerful positions across the country.

Over the last four years, Nike has donated a total of $125,000 to the group.

In Arizona, the RGA has committed to spend at least $11 million on ads supporting Kari Lake, the Republican nominee for Governor. Lake, a former local TV anchor, has made the lie that Trump won the 2020 election the centerpiece of her campaign. “You know how to know [the news is] fake?” Lake said in her first TV ad. “Because they won’t even cover the biggest story out there: the rigged election of 2020.” She has called for the jailing of journalists who report that Biden's win in Arizona was legitimate. (Nike previously said it would only support candidates committed to "upholding the principles of democracy." )

Lake also says that, as governor, she will enforce a total abortion ban passed in 1901, 11 years before Arizona became a state. In a June interview on Fox News, Lake said she supported closing all abortion clinics in Arizona and banning abortion pills. (After Roe was overturned, Nike said it would cover abortion-related travel for employees, describing it as an aspect of "quality healthcare." ) . . ."

3. I agree - fuck Phil Knight

He's donated millions to ensure the Republican candidate for governor wins. Oregon doesn't seem to have personal campaign donation limitations and he is exploiting that. Billionaires shouldn't have such a large influence in democratic elections.
