Nike CEO praises black executive who murdered a teenage boy

The CEO of Nike praised one of its black executives for admitting to brutally murdeing a teenage boy in 1965.

Nike executive Larry Miller admitted on Wednesday that he stabbed a boy to death in a blind fit of rage.

Miller’s “story is an example of the resilience, perseverance, and strength of the human spirit,” CEO John Donahoe wrote in a gushing statement.

Miller, the chairman of Nike’s Jordan brand, confessed to Sports Illustrated that when he was a member of Philadelphia’s Cedar Avenue gang, he executed 18-year-old Edward White in retribution for the alleged killing of a friend.

“Miller did not know the victim, or whether he had anything to do with the stabbing of his friend, or even whether he had any connection to the 53rd and Pine gang,” Sports Illustrated declared in its report.

Freebeacon.com reports: Donahoe, who called Miller “a beloved member of the Nike family,” said he hopes Miller’s experience “can create a healthy discourse around criminal justice reform, by helping remove the stigma that holds people and communities back.”

Donahoe’s promotion of criminal justice reform is in line with the company’s political positions, for which it has faced criticism. Nike in 2018 hired former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who is best known for protesting the national anthem, and in 2020 endorsed the Black Lives Matter movement. The company is one of several that use Chinese slave labor to make its products and was silent on China’s June crackdown on journalists in Hong Kong.

Nike is “a brand of China and for China,” Donahoe said that month.

For his part, Miller says the confession has “freed” him.

“I feel the freedom now to be me,” he said.

  1. Do the crime, do the time. I’ve never been seduced by Nike’s ads, just do it, especially Totally saying be impulsive without consequences or cause and effect thinking.

  2. Last time I checked there is no statute of limitations on murder. Why isn’t this clown behind bars after that admission???

  3. He has to be the most secretive and protected person in the world because having tried to find out anything him about him I know nothing except that he went to schools and had jobs La Salle and Temple and he worked for a kraft and Campbell soup. Secrecy is the work of Satan and satanists.

  4. What a load of crap He obviously was singled out fir a fast track for some reason which they choose to kerp secret But in the past that statement glorifying the human spirit, such a load of it, would have said something about the attributes of the Christian spirit and Faith. Not now. .

  5. What a sad commentary on the so called righteous left that believe this behaviour to be bold and brave. Wonder how the 18 year old innocent victim feels. Oh, that’s right he can’t speak. They don’t see their end coming. Blindness behoves them.
