Men and boys are stealing opportunities, medals, trophies, and our future. It is not fair or just. In fact, it&rsquo;s often dangerous.

So we&rsquo;re asking you, Nike, as the biggest voice in all of sports, will you stand up for me?&rdquo; the message continued.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the youngest-looking girl of all used Nike&rsquo;s own iconic words against the woke corporation.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Will you just do it?&rdquo; she asked.

Thus, the tenth day of the tenth month makes for an appropriate XX Day.<\/p>\n<p>Hence the timing of the ad from XX-XY Athletics.<\/p>\n<p>Happily, that remarkable ad constitutes the latest welcome sign of a turning tide.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, for instance, the University of Wyoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/media-piles-third-team-forfeits-game-undefeated-womens-college-team-trans-man-player\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">women&rsquo;s volleyball team<\/a> became the third NCAA Division I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-backs-principal-who-punished-first-grader-over-any-life-matters-drawing\/\" title=\"Judge Backs Principal Who Punished First Grader Over &#039;Any Life&#039;

We may soon see if the corporate leaders who contributed to this chaos will feel any remorse. On Wednesday, the athletic brand XX-XY Athletics marked the eve of XX Day, or Real Women\u2019s Day, by releasing a compelling advertisement challenging Nike. The ad featured 11 women and girls of various ages directly addressing Nike with calls for justice, questioning why they claim to support women while remaining silent when needed most. They highlighted how men are encroaching on women&#8217;s identities and opportunities in sports, urging Nike to take a stand for fairness and justice instead of prioritizing men&#8217;s rights. The ad concluded with a young girl echoing Nike&#8217;s slogan: &#8220;Will you just do it?&#8221; accompanied by #SaveWomensSports. This campaign aligns with growing resistance against males competing in female sports, reflecting a broader movement advocating for fairness rather than hatred or lack of compassion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2353220,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Women-in-Sport.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[42736,42735,42734,32276,42733],"class_list":["post-2353219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-apparel-industry","tag-nike-challenge","tag-upstart-apparel","tag-womens-rights","tag-xx-day"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Women-in-Sport.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2353219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2353219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2353219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2353220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2353219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2353219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2353219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
