If you’re not offended by the partnership deal between Nike and DM to promote woman's sportswear, please scroll on, this is not the thread for you.

If you are offended, please tell Nike by using the Feedback option on their website https://www.nike.com/ It’s at the bottom of the page.

There have been a few threads on this topic that have been deleted already, I’m not posting this for debate, as it will be deleted too. Just post “done” once you’ve told Nike how you feel (in 250 characters or less)..

Come on people, we have a voice here - let’s use it!

Nike. Just Do It

Inspiring the world's athletes, Nike delivers innovative products, experiences and services.

FFS, Nike are a joke. What idiot in the marketing department ever thought this would be a good idea to sell sports kit to women? And what fools at the decision making level agreed it was worthwhile? Is it a case of trying to jump on the Trans bandwagon?

I feel sorry for anyone who is going through any transition, who is trying to do it properly. This sort of thing must make it bloody difficult.

I have no need for a sports bra (neither does my wife), so I've actually thrown my golf shoes away as I can't believe a global company can stoop this low. It's fucking disgusting. I don't want anyone I play golf with think I support this madness.

In a way I'm glad I'm nearer the end of my life than the beginning. The world is going to hell in a handcart.

And that fool prancing round should not be used to advertise anything. That is offensive to the eyes, mine need bleaching. Ugh!!!!

It's not cheating when males take womens places on female teams but if women compete fairly and win against men they get stopped from competing in that event.

Didn't know where else to out this but thought this was an interesting story.

Now there is someone who deserves some endorsement money. She was still winning medals approaching 50 and won events all her life because she was dedicated and talented. More indperational to any daughters then the Nike car crash I have just watched

If they wanted to demonstrate trans inclusivity fine. But why the hell not choose a transman with breasts - i.e a person in need of a sports bra?

Done ✅

northstars · 09/04/2023 13:34

Done, thank you!

Did this yesterday. So annoyed by this "woman face" behaviour.

Message deleted by MNHQ. Here's a link to our Talk Guidelines.

I’ve given feed back on that too. I wasn’t aware until this latest controversy so that’s some good to come out of this mess

stealthninjamum · 09/04/2023 13:42

Done. I used my 250 characters to say that I won’t buy from a company who mocks women and they could’ve chosen a more inspirational female figure.

LifeExperience · 09/04/2023 13:42

Done.

lenalemonade · 09/04/2023 13:43

Done -and won't be spending another penny with Nike or promoting their brand by wearing my existing Nike clothing .

OMG12 · 09/04/2023 13:46

FOJN · 09/04/2023 09:45

Done.

The other thread has been deleted. I wonder why some people don't want women to talk about this?

Maybe because women aren’t supposed to have voices! The more they try and silence me the louder I will shout!

AlwaysGinPlease · 09/04/2023 13:47

Done. Thank you.

OMG12 · 09/04/2023 13:47

So on the other thread that was deleted I asked for tween approved alternatives to Nike- any suggestions?

DeadbeatYoda · 09/04/2023 13:55

Done. Shameful wokewashing. Womanhood is not a costume to try on.

gingeristhenewblack43 · 09/04/2023 13:55

Done!

The feedback option wasn't there for me earlier but I've just clicked back on the link and it was there.

AuntieStella · 09/04/2023 13:56

Nike sports bras were never very good, so I wonder if they thought that was an area in which they could do something outlandish without impact on their bigger selling items.

They have, it seems, badly miscaluculated

@OMG12 which items?

gingeristhenewblack43 · 09/04/2023 13:56

@OMG12 my tween likes Adidas, Puma and Hype.
