In the past it was always seen as an insult to say, \u2018run like a girl\u2019 and here we\u2019ve got someone behaving in a way that\u2019s very un-sporty and very unathletic and it\u2019s so frustrating when only 1% of USA sponsorship dollar goes to females in sport,\u201d said Sharron Davies, a former competitive swimmer who represented Great Britain in the Olympics.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cFor a long time, Nike sponsored Allyson Felix, one of the world\u2019s most incredible track athletes. Then, when Allyson got pregnant, they reduced her sponsorship by 70% when she had something happen to her that happens only to women,\u201d continued Davies.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Davies also argued that it was not effective for a biological male without fake breasts to effectively promote products, such as bras, which have to work for women\u2019s bodies.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cDylan is advertising sports bras when there\u2019s nothing to put in the sports bra \u2013 when actually it\u2019s really important women get proper support when they do sport. It just doesn\u2019t make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Although the amount of money that Mulvaney received from Nike for the posts is unknown, some social media analysts and insiders speculate that it could have been as much as $50,000 per social media post. Nike tends to pay their brand ambassadors extremely well, being one of the most popular brands in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Stay informed! Receive breaking news blasts directly to your inbox for free.
