A selection of previous Gateway Pundit stories mentioning the iconic athletic brand: “Nike Hires Skinny-Legged Dylan Mulvaney to Sell Women’s Athletic Wear,” from April 6, 2023, “Nike Suspends Relationship with Kyrie Irving Over Alleged Promotion of Antisemitism Movie – But Continues Partnership with Communist China,” from November 5, 2022, “Nike Rep Colin Kaepernick Attacks USA as the Worst Nation on Earth – on the Fourth of July,” from July 4, 2019.
It’s not like this latest article is devoid of any criticism, as Jim “Pundit” Hoft writes “It took Nike over a year to promote their mega-star Caitlin Clark. But on Sunday, the sports apparel company dropped a video for Caitlin’s upcoming Nike Kobe sneaker that goes on sale Monday morning,” in the lede but it would seem otherwise like in this specific instance buying Nike is more of a necessary than actual evil given that the savior of white heterosexuality in the WNBA profits from the sales.

What the hell else are people supposed to think when Hoft literally puts the freaking link to the Nike store page in the article? MyPillow’s “sponsored content” payola aren’t even this sincerely written, and ostensibly Mike Lindell still sends checks to Hoft for it, though they probably bounce.
