LAST HOUR.- We continue the week in sneakers, sports shoes, yes, because yes Adidas has grabbed headlines for the LGTBI theme, today is Nike who jumps to the arena for his reaction to the homophobia of one of his sponsored.
This is the Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao He holds the world crown in 8 different categories with a spectacular 57 brand wins and only 6 defeats and 2 draws. The boxer has counted to this day with the support and admiration of his compatriots for having become one of the greatest fighters in history despite his humble origins and because in the last stretch of his career, he combines his time with the charge of congress
ta in a province in the south of the country.
But it is already known that "the fish dies" and Pacquiao has opened it too much and has passed 6 villages. The saying goes that in an interview for a local media last Monday, Pacquiao said that "Homosexuals are worse than animals". «Do you see animals having homosexual relationships? Animals are better, they know how to distinguish between male and female, ”was Pacquiao's response to a question about his opinion of homosexual marriage. "If we approve (the sex of) men with men and women with women, that means that the man is worse than an animal," he added in case we had not been clear enough.
Nike's reaction was immediate and in a statement issued by the firm, he called the boxer's comment "abhorrent" and for that reason they announced that "We stopped having a relationship with Manny Pacquiao". The sudden cessation of their agreement puts an end to more than 8 years in which Manny Pacquiao has charged substantial amounts to promote the firm. The representatives of Nike added "We are fiercely opposed to discrimination of any kind, we are a company with a long history of supporting and defending the LGBT community".
The fighter later apologized on his Facebook account "I apologize for hurting people by comparing homosexuals with animals. I'm still against same-sex marriage because of what the Bible says, but I'm not condemning LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender). An apology that, in addition to being late, seems forced and hypocritical to us, but the worst thing is that Pacquiao's insults are the result of absolute ignorance because, according to a study carried out by Marc Arenas Camp, "In more than 1.500 documented species, some individuals have behaviors that could be considered homosexual." Information with very curious data that you can retrieve in the article "Of animals and homosexuals" published on this page.
Look, we like it and we send it to Manny on his Facebook wall, mostly because he's going to have to entertain himself now that he's not going to pose again with Nike clothes. If you have to be stupid as well as homophobic!
