first off nike does not even pay attention to mma and then when they start to give sponsorships to fighters everyone makes it a big deal. sponsors who want to work with fighters have to pay the ufc 50000 for the right to even be on clothing for the walkout. and then the ufc will just ban sponsors for no reason then just because. and now the ufc is introducing uniforms that use most of the space for the ufc zuffa and exclusive partnerships. there is limited space for third party fighter sponsors. nike seems like they might have had some work in this. and now they want to destroy the brand venum. this in addition to poor quality clothing and sweatshops. never really thought of buying nike products before but now there is no reason to even if a shoe or shorts seem like they might be alright.

they have no right to go about trying to take the whole mma sponsorship field from all the other companies.

I didn't really understand your post, but I don't buy Nike products anyway so I'm with you 100%.

I thought the UFC was a ball playing coalition, but you mentioned fighting, so I'm a little more confused than on my first read through.

Those sweatshops are pouring money into the chinese economy. It's called globalization folks! It makes the world a better place for people who aren't you! Now stop your whining and buy more shoes.

Odin forbid one of the biggest mainstream sports sponsors and clothing makers, help MMA lose its human cockfighting stigma, some still attach to it eh? Hell, with Nike involved heavily enough, they may get sanctioned in NY before Ragnarok happens.

Of all the reasons to boycott Nike, I think this is probably bottom of the barrel.

still it is one of the reasons. the entire clothing and commercial field of mma could be affected by this. like big brand companies could push all other small companies out of the mma scene.

this does not have to stay focused on mma. feel free to bring up anything on nike whether sweatshops or legal corruption or cheap materials

I think she is still stewing over losing the presidency to Barrack Obama.


Yea, she got robbed. Her and Al Gore should run together. His main policy can be reduction of greenhouse gasses and hers can be the increase of ass gasses. It will be like ying and yang. They can't lose!

mma does not need new york to exist. so no reason to bring in a big oppresive company just to ruin the mma equipment world. the mma scene in japan was ruined not by fighting image but by gangsters
