Nike recently severed ties with boxing sensation Manny Pacquiao, after "Pac Man" went on a rant against the gay community by suggesting homosexuals were worse than animals. The aging pugilist later apologized and tried to clarify his remarks, but it was too little, too late.
"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. Any recent remarks made by Manny Pacquiao reflect his personal views.
