It's a frickin' joke. Just like people call the New York Yankees or ESPN "the evil empire". Get a grip.

Please, come back down to earth. The company is not evil (as BNR noted).

Their shoes have never worked for me so I used a social metaphor to equate what the shoes mean to me. And sorry to say, you missed my joke. Как жаль.

Oh, yes the Yankees are the original evil sports empire.

That's not what you said. You said this: +$100.00 Yes, Nike = The Evil Empire.

So you can backtrack now and blame me for "not getting it" but that's not what you originally meant. Nice debating skills, though. Moving on...

I know exactly what I wrote. I did not say "Nike" = the company. You made an incorrect assumption based what you saw in my post.

I agree with you on one thing - "moving-on time" Where is Mr Bob when we need him most? The good that Nike (THE COMPANY) does for the state of Oregon is fantastic - as noted by Mr Mark. I wear Nike non-shoe gear. I just will not wear shoes made by Nike.

I understood "evil empire" as a joke equating them with the Yankees or ESPN.
