I can't get the link to work. Can you give me the basics? Is Nike saying that sailing isn't a real sport? Is it tongue-in-cheek?

there are now Nike models specifically designed for ALL sports... yep, that's ALL sports, every single one, even the weird pursuits such as sailing, archery, badminton, horse riding and weightlifting!

Its not Nike, its some editor hickdead from that website who is trying to be funny.

Thanks Tony. That definitely clears things up. Never mind what

they

think about us, who cares??? We're actually going out and doing something (enjoying the sport), they're sitting around being a web critic. The real question is, what do we think about them?

Wait until this idiot gets word of what Puma is doing, and the amount of money they're spending on our weird pursuit...

Yeah but this? -

designers discovered that the athletes could only wear colors that do not clash with their predominantly black wetsuits

.

LOL!

Again, the reporter isn't completely aware of the facts.

The Olympic sailors in China shouldn't be wearing black wetsuits, they'll need to be wearing biohazard protection gear, which is usually white or yellow...
