Nothing yet other than the concept.

Phil Knight, for years, profited by giving "free" shoes to athletes.  While collegians, they would gain fame, have free shoes, and then have pros, be sponsored by NIKE.

In reality, NIKE gained free advertising by these athletes.

Phil Knight and his company are such fakes.  "They never intended to profit from the company."   

So, they engage in slave labor ... take advantage of NCAA rules to promote image ... and form a conglomerate which profits on "name".

Black Lives Matter to Nike when it means profits.  It does not matter when a black slave makes NIKE shoes.  It does not matter when a black athlete earns NIKE tens of millions in return for zero.

I would hope that every Duke basketball player for the last 30 years, sues NIKE for unpaid wages.

One man's humble opinion.
