Nike Blasted After Posting 'Never Again' Signs During Marathon 3 Days After Holocaust Memorial Day
2025-04-29
[DAILYWIRE] Nike is getting blasted for its insensitivity in using a phrase associated with the Holocaust only three days after Yom HaShoah, when Jews around the world mark the murder of six million Jews by the Nazis in the Holocaust.

Nike installed signs along the London Marathon route emblazoned, ''Never again, until next year.''
What does that even mean?
''As a Jew living in London, I felt shocked, hurt, and angry to see the use of words in this context, even if no doubt in reference to the temporary pain of running 26 miles,'' retired British judge Nigel Litman told Walla.

#5  About those Nike marketing folks— from a mere month after thw 10/7 Hamas invasion, they know plenty that isn’t so:

#4  In the marathon context - I think the phrase is directed at the runners. As in - you're at mile 19 and you realize this was a bad idea. I'm never gonna do this again. Ask me how I know!

I doubt the marketing person ever heard of the Holocaust or knows much about WW2....

#3  Considering Starmertrooper's guest of honor, it may be a soft welcome to London banner.
