Comments Thread For: Nike Cuts Ties: We No Longer Have Relationship With Pacquiao!

[sirron000]

Pacquiao is sincerely going by what the Bible says. Like it or not that book has a decent track record of helping people live their life in a good way.

Meanwhile Nike has no problem locating it's factories in ****** nations like Indonesia where you can be caned if you are found to be ****sexual. They also have had cases there where the millitary forces Nike employess to work for less than minimum wage.

I don't want these immoral scum telling us what is or isn't acceptable. Maybe you do, though.

You do know ****sexuality wasn't added to the bible until 1946.

Yea, the irony of Nike having been caught using sweatshops and child labor is poignant. I am still really disappointed in Pac for not choosing his words wiser but Nike are no saints. This isn't a moral choice for them, it's financial, just as their sweatshops were.

The dropped all there male athletes that had controversies but i see ppl saying they didn't drop that GK who plays for the USA females soccer team.

"Nike strongly opposes discrimination of any kind . . . "

. . . expect along economic lines, particularly involving the workers of the Philippines.

Manny likes sneakers though so he never needed to concern himself with that.

Man these is fly as f uck!



Man idk if I was the type of dude that was into or like did that type of...wtf am I talking about..?!

BWaHAHaahaHAHahahaaHAHahaaHAHA!!

[- Ram Raid -]

Nike isn't obligated to have Pac represent them. Why shouldn't they have the right to fire him if he expresses views in public they don't wish to be affiliated with?

I agree. As a 'brand representative' if you don't toe the company line then you need to be shown the door.

I think we're better off governing ourselves by the principles of the Bible than by those greedy, immoral ****s at Nike who support sweatshops and slave labor along with silencing sincere critics of the gay lifestyle.

The bible most assuredly endorses the institution of slavery (in SO many ways).

This is a famous two-minute experiment where a journalist went around asking people to read awful things stated in the Quran--turns out, it was only the cover of a Quran. It was a holy bible. Who knew?

Yes. Governing ourselves according to such principles as:
1) man was given dominion over the entire ecosystem
*******ity like this is exactly why our planet is in the mess it's in right now. And why the survival of our species is hanging in the balance. We are not special. We are animals who seem to have disturbing problem coming to terms with the notion that the world was not created with us in mind (and life will go on without us)
2) women are naturally subservient to men
*you see how people who adhere to this behave across the world. You have women walking around in beekeeper suits bc it's gods will.
3) someone who doesn't accept Christ as his savior (the very definition of a Christian btw) is condemned to an eternity of pain & torture?
*God sure did leave a lot of room for doubt. Why torture people in perpetuity for having a healthy sense of skepticism? Let's say a good Christian woman goes to heaven, but her beloved grandfather (who happens to be of a different belief system) is instead doomed to be tortured forever. Wouldn't that make this woman's heaven an absolute hell knowing that?
4) God sent his son (or himself?) on a suicide mission to be brutally murdered to show people how much he loved them?
*There are nicer ways to show us this.
5) that we only have free will because he gave it to us?
*That sure sounds a lot like the opposite of free will. What if I didn't want it? Too bad.

So, you are incorrect. Humans are beginning to throw off much of the nonsense superstitions & unscientific methodologies from the infancy of our species. Organized religion is a personal security blanket for people who are scared of their own mortality. That's cool--and totally understandable.
It's when people like you argue that it should shape public policy that it becomes dangerous, and the rationalists among us take issue with it.

Christians remember:

Matthew 7:21-23New King James Version (NKJV)

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me’

Also Christians don't think just because you aren't gay today you won't be gay tomorrow:

Romans 1:25-27New International Version (NIV)

25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

"Why torture people in perpetuity for having a healthy sense of skepticism?"

I wonder how uncle Bob is reacting to this? Calls Manny, "hey Manny, remember that 15 million guarantee for the fight? Well it is now 1 million."
