Nike and Dylan Mulvaney’s Kiss of Death
Nike has announced massive staff cuts less than a year after signing transgendered menace Dylan Mulvaney to promote their women’s sports bras.

Mulvaney was inexplicably contracted last year as a Nike brand ambassador.
A video promoted online showed him dancing about in his yard, performing mock workouts while wearing Nike leggings and a sports bra.
Unsporting
In a reaction that must have come as an enormous shock to no one but woke Nike bosses, female customers were unimpressed.
Fast forward to Thursday a fortnight ago, when Nike President John Donahoe announced that 1600 staff (2 percent of the company’s workforce) would be retrenched in a move aimed at cutting $2 billion in costs.
He told staff:
“This is a painful reality and not one that I take lightly. We are not currently performing at our best, and I ultimately hold myself and my leadership team accountable.”
You know the old expression. Repeat after me. “Go woke, go…”

Where confusion over sexuality abounds today, the Australian Creed brings crisp clarity to this deeply personal and vitally important biblical teaching. And the impact of the creed is growing.
James, so sad, perhaps, ‘ the management will ultimately hold themselves and their team accountable’!
Love you work James
The management team ‘hold themselves accountable’ in words only, otherwise they would have resigned, or perhaps taken a massive pay cut, instead of sacking 1600 of their workers who actually bring in the income for the business.
