I do not know what you are emotionally, but it seems like an overreaction to something that really was in a very lighthearted context. So what if someone thinks Nike is evil? Do you have stock in the company? Do you work for the company? Otherwise it as a joking comment that was to illustrate a person's feeling toward their shoes. If people can call the Yankees or other companies evil in the context of sports, then why would you even be worried about that characterization?
I am just a little miffed why you care what someone thinks of a company. It is not like Nike is doing things for the betterment of the larger society. They are doing things to make a profit. In some world view that could be considered on some level evil.
