Nike CEO John Donahoe Pledges Allegiance To China, Says It's ‘A Brand That Is Of China And For China'
2021-06-26
[DailyCaller] 'Nike is a brand that is of China and for China,' Donahoe said during a call with Wall Street analysts after being asked about the backlash Nike received in China for having expressed concern about human rights abuses in Xinjiang.

Here's the Statement of Concern that got Bejing's, ahem, attention.

Nike CEO John Donahoe then, apparently, got a "Melvin" from the Chinese and had to do like the pic. U.S. Citizens are out of frame to the Left.
Lie down with dogs...

#4  This shithead bought a bunch of crappy little companies for about $3 billion, without the faintest clue how to get any value out of them, and ended up selling them off in a fire sale for about 1/3 of what he paid.

Along the way Donahoe heaped scorn upon a far sharper businessman, investor Carl Icahn, who correctly assessed the eBay management to be incompetent nitwits and who judged that only PayPal was worth buying.

Typical consulting tool.

Mr. Donahoe, you remind me of a fish, swims to where the feeding is good, because of the number of insects are plentiful, freshly killed, and juicy. Judgement of the waters made you swim far away from your spawning grounds, a place you are best suited for, with knowledge of your environment.

Covid killed our economy(water), people are slow to restart work (insects), we are ripe for the expansion of our economy because of pent-up demand (juicy), our environment is America, the home of the free and the brave (where your company started). We will rebound stronger than ever.

Unfortunately for you and NIKE, a bargain has been struck with China rather than your formerly native and supporting spawning ground... you are now a foreign species. You have taken in too much foreign water, changed your DNA...no longer American but Oriental.

NIKE are now fish to hook, capture and cook.

Good Luck in your attempt to 'come back', frankly you are not wanted here as prized fish but rather as a despised fish.

#2  Yep - he's a Bain Capital boy and his contribution to eBay was 40 mergers & acquisitions. He figured, wrongly, that was the way to do it, just like he learned at Bain.

#1  Donahue?? The same asshole who ran eBay into the ground?
How the hell did he end up at Nike? Shilling for China?

Something very strange going on here.
