The only worthwhile arguement in this entire threat is the part about being anti-sweatshops. But thats not limited to Nike. Sweatshops also produce your Adidas, Pumas, Converse (owned by Nike) and probably Vans. I'm not even going into all the clothing you're wearing made in sweatshops.

Yet you're all whining about them posting a billboard with some bikes on it.
Get over your ****ing selves.

As for the Minor Threat/Nike thing. Why is it so hard for some people to get in their heads that whatever people were in charge of that skate tour (going to DC) grew up with Minor Threat, then mimiced an iconic photo from a hugely influential DC bands album cover on a flier for that tour (not on a shoe advertisement), and they did it out of love/admiration for the band itself? You know that Minor Threat was big into skateboarding too, and have been photographed wearing Nikes, even though thats all beside the point. Should NIKE SB have asked Dischord first? Probably. Was it blown out of proportion by some people who felt it was stealing something from their little scene/culture/etc? ...Do I need to answer that?
