Kenner Mayor Ben Zahn's order barring Nike purchases for booster clubs drew public outcry from residents and local leaders Monday (Sept. 10), along with demurring from some members of the Kenner City Council.
A crowd packed the gym at Susan Park Playground on Veterans Memorial Boulevard on Monday night to denounce the mayor's order, which prohibits city booster clubs from purchasing Nike merchandise for use at Kenner recreational facilities. Among them were elected officials from New Orleans and Jefferson Parish, and a few players from the New Orleans Saints football team, including Cam Jordan.
