 | Nike founder Phil Knight: Kyrie Irving has crossed the line10-05-2024 |
Nike founder and now honorary president of the company Phil Knight commented on the suspension of cooperation with Brooklyn point guard Kyrie Irving.
Nike announced its decision after the star basketball player failed to apologize for promoting an anti-Semitic film on social media.
I doubt that we will continue cooperation. But I`m not completely sure about this. It`s simple: Kairi crossed the line. He made unbearable statements, so we broke off the relationship. And that suited me, ” Knight said.
According to Forbes, Irving received 11 million a year thanks to his collaboration with Nike. As a result of a recent incident, the company has decided not to release a new signature model, the Kyrie 8.
