Nike deja de patrocinar a Scott

Curioso, en lo que a mi juicio es una medida absurda, Nike dejó de patrocinar a Scott Fujita linebacker campeón de los Santos de Nueva Orleans por la manera en la que usa sus cleats (¿tachones?) durante los días de juego. Esto lo describe él en un diario donde narraba sus experiencias diarias previas al Super Bowl de la semana pasada. El lo describe personalmente:

“Low-point of the day: Not getting a Nike schwag bag in my hotel room. All the guys who are endorsed by Nike got sweet Super Bowl schwag, with about $5000 worth of merch, including some products from their ACG line, which I love for hiking and for outdoor use. I was endorsed by Nike for seven years, but they voided my contract (after several warnings) for “spatting” my cleats on game-days. Some of us spat, or put tape around our cleats, to keep them tight. Nike, apparently, doesn’t like that their precious Swoosh gets covered up. Oh well. Wouldn’t be that big of a deal if it weren’t for every teammate rubbing it in my face, parading around in all their cool new gear.”

¿Curioso no? El caso es que hay jugadores que ponen cinta alrededor de sus tachones todo el tiempo y que de paso bloquearán a la marca. No todos lo hace y, en momentos, es una moda. Aquí unos ejemplos para que algunos entendamos mejor:

Es más nota negativa que positiva para Nike, lo sorprendente es la cantidad de posts negativos de la gente hacia la marca. Si quieren saber más de este detalle de la cita, en inglés se dice ‘spat’ y pueden leerlo aquí.

  1. It’s quite surprising to see Nike ending their sponsorship of Scott Fujita due
    to the way he uses his cleats. While Nike may have their reasons for wanting
    to protect their brand image, it seems like a rather extreme measure to terminate a
    contract over such a minor issue.

    It’s also worth noting that many players use tape to secure their cleats, and
    this practice can even be considered a trend in certain cases.
    However, the fact that Nike is willing to void a contract over this issue
    could potentially harm their reputation, especially given the negative reactions from fans.

    Ultimately, it’s up to Nike to decide how they want to manage their brand image, but it’s important to consider the potential
    consequences of such actions. What do you think about Nike’s decision?
