Nike ends contract with Pacquiao over gay slur
Sportswear manufacturer Nike on Thursday announced that it had ended its contract with Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao, following his comments on same-sex relationships. The boxer while talking to a Filipino news channel, had termed same-sex partners as being "worse than animals”. Notably, Nike chose to not renew Pacquiao’s contract at the end of 2012, over similar comments from the boxer.
