Nike recently dropped professional boxer Manny Pacquiao from all endorsements after a statement that Pacquaio made on a Filipino television show. to Sum up Pacquaio's statement he said that same sex marriage was wrong and that you never see animals of the same gender together in sexual ways. He concluded that homosexual individuals were in a way worse than animals. Nike's reason for dropping Pacquiao was that they do not discriminate against anyone and are big supporters of the LGBT community. This news article came out earlier this morning so I am interested to see how Nike as a large brand takes steps to show that they do support the LGBT community. Also interested to see how the media will portray Manny Pacquiao after this statement and comparing this to all his religious statements that he has made in the past. Interested to see what happens.
