No one is saying Nike is the moral authority in this case. Nike is a business. And although they are still not a "model corporate citizen", that's not really the issue here. Nike has made a substantial investment in MJ to sell product, and if her image is damaged then it impacts Nike's business. Plain and simple, money talks. Nike as MJ's sponsor has every right to take their money elsewhere just as MJ has every right to work with whomever she wants. In this case, MJ decided Nike's money was more important. Right or wrong, that's business. John __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com
