Heh, after reading the title, clicking the link and watching the video...I get it and am as bewildered as the OP at the current state of SJW victim-hood in the world. Being so gung-ho for jihad, they sure are easily offended. For the still confused, on the bottom of Nike's new shoe is a stylized version of "AIRMAX." When viewed upside down apparently the center 4 letters kinda look like the arabic word for "Allah." So, they are pissed that the middle 2/3ds of a word in english, upside down, looks like Allah in Arabic.

I thought the Fox video explained it: The letters in the center of the logo vaguely resemble the Arabic calligraphy for Allah (“the God”). Shoes are considered unclean (or something, and probably with good reason in many parts of the Islamic world), and so having the word for God (assuming that’s what it is) on the sole would be insulting or blasphemous or something. It’s sort of like putting a picture that sort of looks like a bearded man on something unclean would be offensive to Christians who believe that any vague picture of a bearded man depicts Jesus. “I can’t give you brains, but I can give you a diploma.” — The Wizard of Oz This life is a drill.

Well, in this instance, I knew what the OP was talking about because I saw the story online. I was going to make a "soul" joke, but you can fill in the blanks. I am amused that SJW Superforce Nike gets to deal with this utter nonsense.

But it's still fun to watch them shoot at each other! Let's have some popcorn! "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . .

it looks like they shook $50,000 out of Nike the last time, they want some more. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Yeah, I can’t believe that Nike recalled the shoes last time this happened and paid them $50k. Crazytown. | |||

Nike is the goddess of victory. I am offended that a shoe company uses her name. | |||
