LUMAKI na ang apoy na nilikha ng anti-gay rants ni Manny Pacquiao.
Not only did some celebrities lashed at him on TV and on social media, pati endorsement niya ay naapektuhan na rin. In a report by TMZ Sports, it said na iniwan na si Manny ng Nike.
“We find Manny Pacquiao’s comments abhorrent.”
“Nike strongly opposes discrimination of any kind and has a long history of supporting and standing up for the rights of the LGBT community.”
“We no longer have a relationship with Manny Pacquiao.”
‘Yan ang nakalagay na short article about him. Kung true ito, aba, malaking perwisyo na pala ang inabot ni Manny all because he made a foul remark about gays.
Bago naglabas ng desisyon ang Nike, isang online petition ang inihain ng netizens na tanggalin na ng kompanya si Pacquiao bilang endorser nito.
After a few hours, pinagbigyan ng Nike ang panawagan ng napakaraming netizens at agad inihayag na tinatanggal na nila ang Pinoy boxing champ bilang endorser.
