Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

I went through Nike board directors & Upper Management profiles

And there is only one african american in board of directors.

what is the excuse?

Nike conducts majority of their business to African Americans.
Nike's sales and future designs are influenced by African AMericans.
Nike acts like they are fair and equitable company but it is evidently not true.

If I went through their profiles in 1990s, I am very sure I will have same impression.

When will Nike star hiring upper management people who are African Americans!!!

Don't just try to sell to African American be opened and fair to African Americans too.

This is 2026 and not 1970

@h7 but you want to use their athletic ability to peddle your over priced garbage.

Hypocrite, white gabage of Nike. It is so predictable

Would hire an African American to run my watermelon stand, let alone this company.

@a6

Actually no, it's basically the same sh!t.

There, I said it.
The proof is in the performance.
And stock price.
And myriad of other obvious metrics.

This is the type of post that summarizes why Nike is down 80%. Just put the best people into the appropriate roles, including BoD’s. Focus on race and ethnicity distribution and you lose the focus of the business.

African Americans make up 13-15% of the US population depending on how you count it. So equal representation would have 1-2 of them be on the board.

@OP There is no upper management African Americans. That is shame.

Are you guys going to quote Al Campanis? ~~

WHAT PART OF AFRICAN AMERICAN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND?

FILLING THE SEATS WITH INDIANS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AS HIRING AFRICAN AMERICANS!

THAT WOULD BE COMPARING APPLES AND ORANGES.

@OP that is not true at all. There are 11 members of the board three of which are POC two male one female. You should not create problems where there are none.
