Guest Godless Posted July 9, 2019 Report Posted July 9, 2019 An interesting footnote in this Nike debate can be found in the secondary market. Politics aside, people collect shoes like this. Someone's going to buy (and possibly try to flip) these. Quote
Guest Scott Posted July 17, 2019 Report Posted July 17, 2019 I wonder if all of this (especially if there is an organized boycott) will affect Nike's political contributions? Nike has been a huge contributer to Republicans and the Republican Party all the way up to the 2018 elections. It will be interesting to see if there is a shift in this come next election. Quote

Nike - the company - like most other big time companies including the Trump Organization donate to both Republican and Democrat parties with not much variance. There wouldn't be a shift in the next election because... Trump hasn't quite achieved completely taking down the crony-capitalist establishment on both parties. Now - everyday people who work for Nike contribute more to Republicans than Democrats. And that is because, the data is heavily shifted by the Nike co-founder who still holds a lot of stock but does not hold any decision-making power in Nike who is a big contributor to Republicans. He, of course, will continue to donate Republican. Edited July 18, 2019 by anatess2 Quote
