Nike and Iran

[soniq]

I would take this with a huge grain of salt, cant find any credible reports on the subject.

[BacheLot]

KoseAmme AMAD Newsam too..!!

bikhial baba, its just bunch of ayrab cunts mudslinging

Even if true, Nike/FIFA or whoever can not do jackshitt to enforce such a ban on any of our players..! simply because they are not sponsored and just wearing their product thats readily available in worldwide market

[Mr Pouya]

Fake news

[Farhad21]

The fascist capitalist u.s is the most racist country in the world, they are targeting our people and the government

[pdot]

Nike can't tell players not to use their equipment. There is no legal recourse so Iran can do whatever they want.

[Farhad21]

Fars news is legit

i recommend you all, BOYCOTT NIKE PRODUCTS. If even 10 million iranians boycott NIKE products and let us assume we buy 50€ in the year (some of course spend a lot more) than they will miss 500 million euro.

btw, we should wear adidas shoes and gloves, not nike. at least we get 70% discount and we boycott USA products. i see no reason really to make american companies richer and facing such statements and sanctions..

[Tehranto]

Seems Amad was right . Just because it is a political organization and anti-IR, doesn't mean we have to dismiss it. They have been right about a ton of stuff.

[Tehranto]

Those crazy anti-IR folks at Amad news ... coming out with crazy conspiracies... oh wait...

NO IRANIANS WEAR NIKE

While team deals are important for sales of soccer jerseys, more critical for sales of boots is the sponsorship of top players, particularly the likes of Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, who wears Nike, and Argentina’s Lionel Messi, in Adidas.

Nike expects 60 percent of all the players heading to Russia will be wearing its boots, including almost half the German and Spanish team and three-quarters of the Russians, even though they will be wearing Adidas shirts.

An exception is Iran, which faces new sanctions after U.S. President Donald Trump pulled out of an international nuclear deal. Nike says none of the country’s players are wearing its shoes, while Adidas is providing the team’s jerseys.

What they're saying is they're not sponsoring any Iranian players! That's very different than "IRANIANS CANT BUY NIKE PRODUCTS".
Iranians can still go out and buy direct.

And Amad News has posted enough fake news for people not to trust them.

[Leicester City]

Man this is just racist, this is basically saying you can’t use our products because you are Iranian. They didn’t choose to be Iranian, so a huge fuck you to Nike if true!

It is specifically saying that Iranian players cannot wear nike shoes, it doesn’t say iranian players cannot be sponsored by nike

[Martin-Reza]

Half of our players are playing with Nike. U think it's only about sponsoring players, which Nike unfortunately isn't allowed to do.

How would Nike even know what our players will be wearing to the World Cup? They obviously know because they have communicated that to the team that they cannot wear their products.

We have had so many companies operating in Iran back out of deals once they have verbalized and confirmed it because of the Trump sanctions. This is not beyond the realm of possibilities to go this far. The sanctions are meant to hurt Iranians.

None of our players have ever been sponsored by any company, small retailers in iran and Europe give them free shoes sometimes
