Nike Under Fire: Tomi Lahren Criticizes Brand over Alleged Financing of Transgender Research
Fresh Take:
Hey there! So, about a three weeks ago, our website dropped a bombshell report on a study regarding transgender youth athletes. Supposedly, this study was bankrolled by none other than the sports powerhouse, Nike. Yet, ol' Nike's been radio silent on this front since then.
You know, we've lobbed questions at them, like a gazillion times, but all we've got is a lone statement from some Nike honcho who wasn't even willing to spill the beans on camera. They claimed that the study was never on the cards, and it ain't happening. But it's all a bit hazy without Nike providing some clarification.
Moving on, our host, the fabulous Tomi Lahren, had a bone to pick with Nike over on Fox News. She let 'em have it for being mute about their potential role in this transgender youth study.
Tomi put it this way: "If this all checks out, Nike's actions are worse than partnering with Kaepernick and even the Bud Light debacle. This could be the most questionable thing I've seen a company do... ever."

Tomi continued, stating that if Nike's allegedly funding this study, they could be testing young trans boys, giving them hormone therapies to stifle their male advantages, so they don't have an edge against female athletes. She reckons this could have lasting effects on these young athletes' lives, and all for the sake of trying to normalize the trans-athlete discourse.
Tomi ended by saying what our website and others, like Rep. Burgess Owens, have been shouting from the rooftops: come clean, Nike! Admit it if you've funded this study, and if not, say so!
Lastly, Tomi warned, "Nike needs to spill the beans. If they genuinely believe in this research, they need to be honest about it. Tell your consumers, tell your customers, because, honestly, nothing about this is alright."
