Sigh. Kenner, LA bans city money being spent on Nike products for rec leagues.

You'd think a suburb of New Orleans would be a little better informed. Morons. Idiots. Damn, I hate willful ignorance.

Louisiana town bans purchases of all Nike products

Blake Schuster

Nike sales have taken a 31 percent spike since it launched an ad campaign with former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick last week, but you won’t find a dollar spent on the swoosh from the city of Kenner, Louisiana.

The suburb of New Orleans has effectively banned any city money from being spent on Nike products as of September 5th, according to a private memo sent from town mayor Ben Zahn.

The memo, which leaked on social media, states in part, “under no circumstances will any Nike product or any product with the Nike logo be purchased for use or delivery at any city of Kenner recreation facility.”

1. Idiots being idiots.

2. While this is politically motivated to the core...

...I don't think a city should be purchasing expensive Nikes for its rec facilities.

Of course that's irrelevant if Nike is giving them a discount on the shoes and they'd be as expensive as the cheaper brands. But I didn't see anything like that in the article.

Just saying that's probably how the mayor will spin it even though he knows it's for political reasons.

4. What if Nike donated equipment to the them?

Those people love money more than trump.
