Nike tells furious customers 'Be kind, be inclusive' as it responds to backlash over paying trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney to promote sports bras - as customers pledge to boycott the brand

Nike today doubled down on using a transgender influencer to promote its female clothes, telling customers calling for a boycott to 'be kind and inclusive'.

The firm's tone-deaf response came amid women's concerns over Dylan Mulvaney, who identifies as female but has not had reassignment surgery.

Mulvaney - who uses the pronouns she or they - was seen in paid social media content dancing in a Nike sports bra and leggings.

It sparked furious calls for a boycott, with Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies leading calls and customers deluging the company with complaints.

Today Nike issued its first response online, declaring it would delete comments it did not judge to be in a spirit of diversity or inclusivity.

It insisted: 'You are an essential component to the success of your community.

"Be kind" sounds a lot like begging. As if Nike is having to do this against their will.
We know that Nike is heavily controlled by China. It is possible China told them to do this, 'or else'.
Like Satan, when you get into bed with China, you may get rich in the short term, but then you become China's bitch.

Nike uses slave labor to make overpriced poor quality apparel. They may tell me to be kind, but I'd tell them to shut up.

In other words, Nike doesn't believe women are good enough to promote clothes for women.

Too much 'swish' in that 'swoosh'.

Not in my household.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

How ironic, a company that endorses messenger of hate Colin Kaepernick now tells people to be kind and inclusive.

Given how much of Nike's product is still manufactured in Communist China, where TikTok is also based and helped bring Mulvaney to fame after his acting career was crushed by COVID lockdowns, this still all seems like a clandestine plot.0
