The company was mocked by many on the right over its marketing campaigns featuring controversial quarterback Colin Kaepernick and transgender activist Dylan McDermott.

'NIKE filled its executive positions with feminists and woke ideology advocates. ... Companies that embrace femicentric ideologies and DEI buls**t will always suffer.'

Nike has lost about $200 billion in market valuation since reaching its highest value in 2021.

The company's CEO, Elliott Hill, said that he was confident the company could reverse the downturn in a recent earnings call with investors.

"Overall, the results aren’t there yet," he admitted.

Many on the right called for a boycott of Nike products after the company signed up Kaepernick to promote the brand while he continued to bash police and support the "Black Lives Matter" movement.

The company also partnered with McDermott to push the transgender agenda.

"Well, Nike sure owned the floor. And busted right through it. Get woke, go broke," wrote Spencer Pratt about one of the company's ads.

"Bye Bye Nike. Your WOKE arrogance caught up with you and you will not be missed. Please share the hard learned message with your NFL, NBA, MLB brethren and WNBA sisters," responded Rep. Burgess Owens (R-Utah).

"NIKE filled its executive positions with feminists and woke ideology advocates. Its stock has been plummeting. Companies that embrace femicentric ideologies and DEI buls**t will always suffer," said another critic on X.

"I've said many times: I will never buy another Nike product again in my lifetime after they shoved that anti-American a**hole Kaepernick in our faces," said one detractor.

Nike had been included among the S&P 100 for 18 years.

Others pin Nike's implosion on the shift in sales strategy to sell shoes directly to the consumer. That campaign was orchestrated by the previous CEO, John Donahoe.

The company's stock has slid 53% since Hill took over after Donahoe.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
