DID NIKE KNOW????

Was Nike involved in the FIFA soccer scandal??? Of course, it was.  Did Nike know about the bribes??? Maybe yes, maybe no.  The indictment talks about an unnamed American sportswear company and a 1996 deal to outfit the Brazilian team.  Nike did that deal and even bragged about it.  If it was a crooked deal, it was apparently done between crooked officials and crooked sports marketing companies——so——–Nike may not have known about it.  Nike says it never knowingly paid bribes, and is cooperating with investigators.
