Nike says Antonio Brown is no longer 'a Nike athlete'
https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/19/busin...ots/index.html

New York (CNN Business)New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown no longer has an endorsement deal with Nike, the company said Thursday, more than a week after the NFL player was accused of rape.

"Antonio Brown is not a Nike athlete," a Nike spokesperson said, declining to comment on specifics.

Brown took the field Sunday in his first game as a New England Patriot, five days after he was sued on allegations of rape and sexual assault. Brown denies the allegations.

His appearance ended days of speculation over whether the NFL would keep him sidelined while it investigated the claims.

Brown, who is in his 10th NFL season, signed a multimillion-dollar contract with the Patriots this month after being released by the Oakland Raiders. He is among the most prominent players in the NFL.

Nike spends more on endorsements than any other company. Its most recent filing from July shows $10.2 billion in endorsement deals.

In the past, Nike has stood by athletes accused of wrongdoing. Nike put former NBA star Kobe Bryant in advertisements in 2005, a year after he settled an accusation of rape.

Michael Vick lost his contract with Nike after being convicted of involvement in dog fighting in 2007. But Nike re-signed him in 2011, saying Vick "acknowledged his past mistakes."

Nike's years of loyalty to Tiger Woods paid off in April, when Woods won the Masters. It was his first major tournament win in 11 years.

Woods' high-profile sex scandal and a DUI arrest in 2017 helped drive many other sponsors away. But Nike never wavered.

As nice as it would be for this to be the beginning of the end of AB, I highly doubt it is.

Just a thought bur Nike probably did a little more than read few google articles before deciding to pull the plug on his endorsements.

Its most likely more to do with his entire body of work than this singular incident. The guy is a world class grade a ****ing douchebag whether he raped this chick or not.

A. She didn't say he raped her three times. Try reading an actual article.

B. This is you: "Psycho jumping out of a bush and murdering someone is totally different form these...."well we had been dating a while and then he strangled me to death one night".....what?"

This, plus just look at the texts he sent her and the way he treats a person, as well as so many others, Nike is right to drop him.

A.I just assumed we all get everyone knows the story.

B.If you can't see the difference between a freak coming out of nowhere and a relationship going wrong, I can't help you.

I like it here, I like the freedom, not as uptight as other places. I'll figure it out, get more into the flow of things.
