Brand Karma

Very pleased to see that Nike hasn't rushed out the door as a major sponsor of Penn State after the recent surfacing of sexual abuse allegations against a former football assistant coach. Nike, for now,has no plans to change the name of one of the buildings on its campus, the Joe Paterno Child Development Center. Nike also stood by Kobe Bryant and Tiger Woods when those two star athletes faced personal situations negative to their character.
