    Why are old republicans so fucking weird looking.

    While Knight is generally reluctant to give interviews, he spoke with the New York Times in October 2022 regarding his support for Republican candidates. He argued Oregon’s government had drifted too far to the left and described himself as “more conservative than Nike,” responding to criticism of him backing an anti-abortion candidate which apparently contrasted with the company’s image of supporting progressive social justice causes.[109] Nike itself donated $75,000 to Drazan and Johnson’s Democratic opponent, Tina Kotek, the eventual winner of the election. - WIKIPEDIA

      Not just the old ones, many of them in the administration look super strange with even weirder views.

      One looks like they fought a lawnmower at a barbershop and lost, another looks like a fanfic witch from The Matrix, several of them look like cast members from The Witch (movie), others have…odd features that make them look like WW2 villains or slightly methed out. And all of them are batshit insane.

      You can’t even find people like that in a big city.

    Wow.

    What an utter piece of human garbage who’s doing what he can at the end of his privileged life to harm others.

    Meh. This is Oregon. That kind of money may get 1 or 2 more republicans in the legislature. Probably moderate republicans even. But it isn’t going to change much for the state. I don’t happen to buy anything Nike anyway. But overall, we got bigger fish to fry right now.

    I wore Nike running shoes one season. They broke my leg (stress fracture) before I hit 200 miles. Never had that problem with any other shoe.

    Yeah, f-him and I have not purchased a Nike product in over 20 years. Onitsuka, Asics, Brooks, Astra and Puma are the ones I choose from.

    Havent bought Nikes in awhile. Sadly, kids are still under the impression they are worth something. So you have to fight the brand building at a young age
