Since when did Nike care about ethics? https://t.co/f8t2eY994v

Similar to Adidas which severed ties with Kanye West after he tweeted antisemitic remarks, Nike has discontinued its partnership with Kyrie Irving over his recent antisemetic scandal. Jaylen Brown found it rather rich for Nike who has a history of their own issues to call out Irving. One could argue that Nike had 11 million reasons to stop working with Kyrie, that didn't involve ethics, but instead dollars.

Nike has been accused multiple times in the past of worjer abuse and using sweatshops to produce their footwear and apparel in East Asia.
