Nike CUTS Ties With Kyrie Irving After RACIST Remarks..
Welcome back to The Sportest. Nike has severed all ties with Kyrie Irving a month after the apparel company suspended its partnership with the Brooklyn Nets point guard amid controversy, a spokesperson told The Athletic's Shams Charania. The news came roughly an hour before Charania reported that Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant is the likely successor to Irving at Nike and "in line to receive a new signature shoe at Nike in the near future."
Nike, the sports brand giant, while commonly known for its great sportswear and sneakers, is also well-known for its endorsements and sponsorships. From collaborating with NBA legend Michael Jordan to working with golf legend Tiger Woods down to sponsoring great NFL athletes, a Nike sponsorship is a dream for any athlete — regardless of their sport. However, most endorsement deals also tend to come with moral clauses that let the company exit the contract if the celebrity lands in trouble or tarnishes their reputation. In the big-money world of celebrity endorsements, this is not an uncommon occurrence. Here’s a look at some of the biggest athletes who were fired by Nike!
