MANNY PACQUIAO’S RESPONSE TO THE NIKE FIRING
Los Angeles, Ca (February 18th, 2016)– Yesterday Nike severed ties with Manny Pacquiao over his comments saying that gay people are worse than animals. Manny Pacquiao and Bob Arum both had a response in the quotes below.
According to an Associated Press report by (h/t the Guardian): “Whatever decision Nike makes is its decision and I respect that and its sponsorship of me now only involves my clothes for my fight. Our contract has already ended aside from sponsoring the boxing.”
“I am not condemning the LGBT. What I am condemning is the act. I’m happier because I’m telling the truth … It’s worse if we will hide the truth. I’m happier that a lot of people were alarmed by the truth.”
Pacquiao told CNN‘s Chris Murphy “This does not change my position against same-sex marriage. That’s what I believe. My only mistake is comparing gay people to animals.”
The loss of sponsorship followed condemnation from his promoter, Bob Arum, who dubbed the comments “reprehensible” in an interview with RingTV.com, as noted by Mitch Abramson.
