Nike and Iran

[pres80]

told you, it is real.

I'd still like to actually see some evidence.

Where is this CQ interview he speaks about.

[Mr Pouya]

Nike wearing players should just blackout their boots. That’s what players that are not sponsored and don’t want to give publicity do in Europe.

[Nokhodi]

Damn this is so discriminatory at first I didn't think it could be real. I usually really like nike products but no longer. I'm boycotting them. I suggest you all do as well.

Iran’s World Cup Team Should Be Treated Fairly

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Jamal Abdi
Phone: 202-386-6408
Email: jabdi@niacouncil.org

Washington, D.C. – Jamal Abdi, the Vice President for Policy of the National Iranian American Council, issued the following statement after Nike announced its boycott of the Iranian World Cup Team:

“We are disappointed that Nike has boycotted Iran’s World Cup players by refusing to provide shoes to the Iranian national team. We call on the U.S. Government to take immediate steps to address this shameful situation and that Nike actively seek a resolution. FIFA should also take necessary steps to address this issue and ensure that none of the teams in the World Cup are subject to double standards.

“Governments that drag politics into international sporting events, including Iran itself when it boycotts matches with Israel, face well-deserved admonishment. This situation is unfortunately no different. Events like the World Cup and the Olympics are meant to rise above disputes between nations and serve as an example of what unites us.

“This flies in the face of any claims by the Trump Administration that it is targeting the Iranian government and not the Iranian people. We are well aware that the President’s National Security Advisor, John Bolton, has openly called for the U.S. to take steps to target even sports exchanges with Iran and may relish this shameful situation. Nothing symbolizes the wishes and hopes of the Iranian people more than their national soccer team. And nothing unifies them more then when that team is unjustly targeted and insulted.

“The dignified response is for the Trump administration to immediately take steps to ensure that Iran’s national team is not barred from sponsorship in world sporting competitions and for Nike to exhibit good sportsmanship and treat all teams equally.”

Querioz: Nike breaking Ghodosis' contract complained to FIFA
Adidas: We are not selling Iran Jerserys. If anyone wants to buy one ask the IFF!

To all the Nike boycotters, you going to do the same to Adidas? They're all the same. Maybe we should all wear our kafsh meli dampais instead

[Sam van Dam]

what a disgrace. shame on nike, but the adidas fiasco is on IFF

[littlepersia17]

It’s seems as if the whole world hates us. Players are now going to be extra motivated to do well because the whole world is against us.

Yeah I'm still keeping my Nike boots lol... anyways everybody nowadays tries to find ways to somehow hit back at IR

[euphory]

how do they want to keep the players from not wearing nike shoes? they can just go out and buy 2,3 pairs from any sports shop... what do they want to do? do they want to sanction them personally haha come on man.. this is such a joke. nike should consider these possibilities and not come out and talk crap.

[teammelli91]

[Abtin]

I was going to change my gym shoes soon. Aint gonna be Nike again.
