Nike is a good sport- just ask the Egyptian Olympic team.
After the cash-strapped Egyptian Olympic Committee admitted to supplying its athletes with counterfeit Nike gear and apparel, the sportswear giant, rather than pursue legal action, took the classy road by donating authentic outfits to the team instead. News first broke of the scandal after Egyptian swimmer Yomna Khallaf tweeted that her Olympic bag had a Nike logo on the front but an adidas logo on the zippers. Not surprisingly, Committee officials denied knowing that the China-made gear was fake.
Props to Nike for not letting the incident distract from the Olympic competition.
