Controversy over Nike deal for Cornell athletics

[dbilmes]

Although Cornell is ending its deal with Nike to sell Cornell apparel, the athletic department will continue to have the Big Red athletes garbed in Nike apparel for at least another three years.

Hope they can found another apparel deal after that,

Why did athletics keep its relation with Nike, while the University broke the ties based on University policy? Was it because the athletic contract ran for 3 more years? Or was this another "wise" Andy Noel decision? Or was there another reason?

Daily Sun says it was the contract. Note the Sun is now doing coverage of major stories during the summer and exam periods.

And now in hindsight, it looks as if Cornell, in terminating the Nike contract last year, supports the (US) President and field-size flags over Colin Kaepernick?

Although see the white headgear on the 2018 team photo: a half-dozen Nike swooshes.

I always knew there were a few right-wingers at Cornell, but I didn't know that they had finally found a way to get to the future.

It's great news, since licensing that should allow them to have free tuition for all.

Cripe. Somehow I thought "Bureau of Land Management?" Now if you'd hashtagged BLM.

I thought of Bureau of Land Management, too.

I wonder what kind of dirty looks I'll get Saturday when I don't stand for the anthem.

Delaware is Pennsylvania without the sophistication.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

It's not about disrespecting the military. It's about brutality by Cornell police and (what is the correct term?) Cornell meter maids.

What will Delaware do: Bring out the smallest flag in fitting with the First State's geographic size, then there'll be a V-formation flyover by four bankruptcy lawyer Gulfstreams with an empty spot in the formation in honor of fallen GS hero Anthony Scaramucci. The band will play Minnie the Moocher.

See y'all there. And Homecoming for sure.

So you're saying "Red lives matter?"  ::bolt::

I got no comments or dirty looks at all.  And that includes by the friend I went with who was a lifetime army guy (Cornell ROTC and 25 years in the reserves including some time in Desert Storm).

And when they do the "Let's honor an American hero" shtick, I usually sit on my hands for that, too.  I'm not big on forced displays of patriotism.  But the guy they honored yesterday (Bronze Star, wounded in Afghanistan, Purple Heart)...I stood for him.

I've actually thought about that, but decided sitting was the right choice.  FTR, I couldn't take a knee.  No space in the bleachers.
