Nike Olympic ‘Gold Digging’ Shirt Stirs Controversy

NIKE is in hot water over a new Olympics t-shirt they’ve released, especially since it’s only being offered for women.

The plain black shirt boldly states “Gold Digger” across the chest. The product was intended to reference aspiring to win an Olympic gold medal, but some Facebook and Twitter users would beg to differ.

“Sort of undermines the strong woman image Nike has spent $$ to market,” said one Twitter user.

“Whoever thought a Nike t’shirt emblazoned with ‘GOLD DIGGING’ was a fitting tribute to female Olympians shuld be fired,” said another.

Even the product description on WorldSoccerShop.com acknowledges the underlying tone behind the slogan. “We aren’t saying they’re gold diggers – we’re just saying they’re out for the gold! What’s wrong with that?”

Nike stands by the shirt. In a statement released to ABC News, the company said: “Nike has consistently supported female athletes and the position they enjoy as positive role models. The t-shirt uses a phrase in an ironic way that is relevant given it was released just as the world focused on the success of female athletes.”

But they’re not the only sports brand to stir the pot with controversial products. In June, Adidas decided to cancel their plans to release the “Shackle” shoe that critics said evoked slavery.

The shoe adorned with rubber fasteners was canceled after an image posted on the Adidas Originals Facebook page ignited a firestorm of controversy. The photo of the shoes, dubbed JS Roundhouse Mids by the company, was captioned, “Tighten up your style with the JS Roundhouse Mids dropping in August. Got a sneaker game so hot you lock your kicks to your ankles?”

Critics, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson, called the $350 shoe racist and intensive, saying it evokes the era of slavery.

Controversial T-Shirt Sold at Penn State

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The recent sanctions against Penn State University and its football program have left many people upset and some have decided to take their frustrations out on the NCAA.

The Student Bookstore, an independent Penn State store just off campus, is selling t-shirts dubbed the “NCAA Overstepping” shirt.

What has caught people’s attention is that the front of the shirt reads: “NCAA National Communist Athletic Association,” with the “C” designed to look like the Communist symbol.

The back of the shirt adds to that with “Overstepping Their Bounds And Punishing The Innocent.”

According to the Student Bookstore, the shirts have been on sale at the store and on its website for a few weeks. However, they recently caught the attention of many after Onward State, an independent student-run Penn State blog, posted a photo of the shirt on its Twitter and Facebook accounts.

The shirts come in the wake of the sanctions imposed by the NCAA in light of the Jerry Sandusky child abuse case. On July 23, the NCAA hit Penn State with a $60 million fine, a four-year football postseason ban and a vacation of all wins dating back to 1998.

The Student Bookstore is not affiliated with Penn State University.
