Former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner slammed Nike after it named social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney its brand ambassador.
On April 6, Jenner took to Twitter and expressed disapproval of the paid partnership with Mulvaney. Both Jenner and Mulvaney identify as transgender women. Jenner was previously known as Bruce Jenner.
“As someone that grew up in awe of what Phil Knight did, it is a shame to see such an iconic American company go so woke! We can be inclusive but not at the expense of the mass majority of people, and have some decency while being inclusive. This is an outrage,” Jenner wrote.
Jenner responded to a tweet written by media personality Oli London, calling out Nike for cutting track star Allyson Felix’s original deal with the brand by 70% after she got pregnant.
In a follow-up tweet, Jenner also called out the LGBT community and referred to it as the “radical rainbow mafia.”
“EQUALITY > INCLUSIVITY (STOP TRYING TO ERASE WOMEN). The differences between men and women are real and are a good thing! It doesn’t make trans ppl a bad thing, either,” Jenner continued.
