Nike had already abandoned their "LeBron protection clause" in collaboration with major media outlets this summer.
In the NBA, such star protection clauses are not uncommon.
For example, under Nike, Qin Yue and Durant both have corresponding protection clauses.
However, Nike chose Durant over James in that choice.
Nike did not anticipate that, with James losing the corresponding protection clause, so much of his dark history would come to light.
All this has destined Nike to make decisions now and in the future that differ from Qin Yue's memories.
Because, today, James has become the biggest stain on the flourishing Nike Empire.
So, the question arises.
Once James falls from being a tool that profits capital to a blunder in the eyes of capitalists, what will he face in the remainder of his career?
Naturally, he is bound to become a subject Nike must "eradicate."
