Nike’s Got a Problem

Nike’s in hot water after the feds launched a probe into allegations that the sportswear giant’s been discriminating against white employees. Yeah, you read that right – white employees. It’s a pretty wild accusation, and we’re not sure what’s more shocking, the fact that Nike might be guilty or that someone actually thought they could get away with this.

What’s Going On

The federal agency responsible for protecting workers’ civil rights dropped the bombshell on Wednesday, and it’s been a whirlwind ever since. Details are still sketchy, but it’s clear that Nike’s got some ‘splainin’ to do. The company’s been tight-lipped so far, but we’re guessing they won’t be able to keep mum for much longer.

It’s worth noting that Nike’s been pretty vocal about its commitment to diversity and inclusion. It’s a bit rich, then, that they’re now being accused of discriminating against a particular group of employees. We’re not saying they’re guilty, but it’s definitely a case of ‘do as I say, not as I do’.
