The New York Times Magazine revealed in an April article that Nike is financially supporting research led by Joanna Harper, a trans researcher, aimed at tracking the fitness of young transgender individuals undergoing hormone therapy. The author expresses outrage over Nike&#8217;s involvement, labeling it as exploitation of vulnerable children and questioning the ethics of such research, especially due to its irreversible consequences. <\/p>\n<p>Critics argue that Nike&#8217;s response to the situation has been inadequate, with a noted lack of accountability. A Nike executive claimed the study &#8220;was never initialized&#8221; and &#8220;is not moving forward,&#8221; which many view as a weak denial that fails to address the implications of the funding.The article highlights the dissonance between Nike&#8217;s public stance as an advocate for athletes and thier financial backing of a study perceived as harmful to minors.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/amazon-hides-cheap-knockoff-origins-yet-considered-tariff-labels\/\" title=\"Amazon Hides Cheap Knockoff Origins Yet Considered Tariff Labels\">author urges consumers<\/a> to reconsider supporting Nike, questioning the company&#8217;s commitment to the welfare of young athletes and calling for openness regarding their involvement in the study. the piece emphasizes the need for accountability from companies that engage in controversial practices, especially when it involves children.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Nike, the self-proclaimed champion of sports apparel and athletes, has been exposed for funding a horrific study on &ldquo;trans adolescents&rdquo; &mdash; a term that&rsquo;s as absurd as it is dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Times Magazine dropped this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/20\/magazine\/trans-athletes-women-college-sports.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bombshell<\/a> in an April 20 piece about transgender athletes in women&rsquo;s college sports, and the silence from Nike since then is deafening.<\/p>\n<p>The NYT article, while focused on broader issues like Blaire Fleming &mdash; a male playing on the San Jose State women&rsquo;s volleyball team &mdash; buried a disturbing detail about Nike&rsquo;s involvement in a study on kids.

That came straight from Nike.<\/p>\n<p>Let&rsquo;s be clear: &ldquo;trans adolescents&rdquo; don&rsquo;t exist. These are impressionable children &mdash; vulnerable kids manipulated by vile adult influences into believing that God makes mistakes. Nike&rsquo;s role in this is sickening, bankrolling the poking and prodding of minors for a so-called &ldquo;study&rdquo; that pushes a dangerous agenda.<\/p>\n<p>What&rsquo;s worse &mdash; Nike&rsquo;s response &mdash; or lack thereof? After OutKick <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/sports\/nike-funding-adolescent-transgender-athlete-study-no-comment-brand-athletes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pressed<\/a> for answers, a Nike executive with knowledge of the situation meekly told them the study &ldquo;was never initialized&rdquo; and &ldquo;is not moving forward.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s it. No accountability, no explanation for why their name was tied to this abomination, and just a weak quasi-denial.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&rsquo;t a one-off. Nike&rsquo;s silence speaks volumes about the company&rsquo;s priorities. They&rsquo;ve positioned themselves as advocates for athletes, yet here they are, funding experiments on kids under the guise of &ldquo;research.&rdquo; It&rsquo;s despicable.<\/p>\n<p>The study&rsquo;s premise is horrifying enough &mdash; tracking kids as young as 12 through hormone therapy, a process with irreversible consequences. These children aren&rsquo;t lab rats, but Nike apparently sees them as data points in their quest to push some sinister woke narrative.<\/p>\n<p>Harper&rsquo;s involvement only adds to the shame. As a trans athlete with a clear bias, his leading this study &mdash; funded by Nike &mdash; raises serious ethical questions. Where&rsquo;s the objectivity? Where&rsquo;s the concern for these kids&rsquo; long-term health?<\/p>\n<p>Or is all of that to be ignored at the altar of transgenderism?<\/p>\n<p>Nike&rsquo;s refusal to engage further is a slap in the face to parents, athletes, and anyone who values integrity in sports. They&rsquo;re hiding behind a flimsy &ldquo;it didn&rsquo;t happen&rdquo; while ignoring the damage they&rsquo;ve already done by even being linked to this.<\/p>\n<p>The brand&rsquo;s history of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/celebrating-xx-day-watch-upstart-apparel-company-take-direct-savage-shot-nike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">jumping on progressive bandwagons<\/a> isn&rsquo;t new, but this crosses a line. Funding a study that exploits children isn&rsquo;t activism or educational &mdash; it&rsquo;s reckless and immoral. Nike should be ashamed.<\/p>\n<p>Their silence also shows a lack of spine. If the study truly didn&rsquo;t happen, why not issue a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/yes-safe-smoking-kits-include-free-crack-pipes-we-know-because-we-got-them\/\" title=\"Yes, Safe Smoking Kits Include Free Crack Pipes. We Know Because We Got Them.\">full-throated denial<\/a>? Why not sue the New York Times for defamation if the claim is false? Instead, they cower, hoping the story fades.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&rsquo;t about supporting &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-have-a-manhood-problem-in-more-ways-than-one\/\" title=\"Democrats Have A Manhood Problem, In More Ways Than One\">trans rights&#038;rdquo<\/a>; &mdash; it&rsquo;s about protecting kids from being guinea pigs in a corporate experiment. Nike&rsquo;s involvement, even if only alleged, taints their brand irreparably.<\/p>\n<p>Athletes deserve better. Women forced to compete against males <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/cultural-tipping-point-top-dem-now-admits-unfair-trans-athletes-compete-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deserve better<\/a>. And kids &mdash; who should be playing sports, not being studied like lab specimens&ndash; deserve better.<\/p>\n<p>Nike&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">meek response isn&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t enough. They owe the public a real explanation &mdash; why their name was tied to this, what they knew, and how they&rsquo;ll ensure it never happens again. Anything less is cowardice.<\/p>\n<p>These titans of sports apparel have shown their true colors: spineless, opportunistic, and utterly shameless. Nike&rsquo;s silence is damning.<\/p>\n<p>Parents, if your child is an athlete, think twice before buying Nike. Their priorities are clear, and it&rsquo;s not the well-being of kids. They&rsquo;ve lost any claim to moral authority.<\/p>\n<p>Consumers should demand answers. Hold Nike accountable. A brand that stays silent on something this egregious doesn&rsquo;t deserve your trust or your money.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&rsquo;t about inclusion; it&rsquo;s about exploitation. Nike&rsquo;s complicity, whether through funding or silence, is a betrayal of everything sports should stand for. What a pathetic joke.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s time for Nike to own up or shut down. Kids aren&rsquo;t your science project, and your silence isn&rsquo;t an excuse. Do better &mdash; or get out of the game.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !

The New York Times Magazine revealed this shocking information in an April 20 article discussing transgender athletes in women&#8217;s college sports, and Nike&#8217;s lack of response since then has been striking. While the NYT piece addressed broader topics like Blaire Fleming\u2014a male athlete competing on the San Jose State women&#8217;s volleyball team\u2014it also included alarming details about Nike&#8217;s funding of research involving minors. Fleming\u2019s situation is already controversial, especially given that a judge appointed by Biden allowed it to proceed despite its unfairness to female competitors.<\/p>\n<p>The real scandal emerged from a section deep within the NYT article where trans researcher Joanna Harper disclosed his leadership role in studying &#8220;trans adolescents&#8221; over five years, monitoring their fitness before and after hormone therapy. When questioned about funding sources, Harper nonchalantly stated that Nike was backing the study.<\/p>\n<p>Harper attributed delays in &#8220;youth treatment&#8221; to Trump-era policies regarding gender-affirming care; however, the financial backing came directly from Nike. It\u2019s crucial to clarify: \u201ctrans adolescents\u201d are simply impressionable children\u2014vulnerable youths being influenced by harmful adult agendas into believing they are misaligned with their biological sex. Nike&#8217;s involvement is disturbing as it supports invasive research on minors under the pretense of scientific inquiry.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s even more troubling is how Nike responded\u2014or rather didn\u2019t respond\u2014to these revelations. After OutKick sought clarification, a company executive vaguely stated that the study \u201cwas never initialized\u201d and \u201cis not moving forward.\u201d This weak response lacks accountability or any explanation regarding their association with such an unethical project.<\/p>\n<p>This incident isn\u2019t isolated; it highlights deeper issues within Nike\u2019s priorities as they present themselves as advocates for athletes while simultaneously funding questionable experiments on children disguised as research. The premise of tracking kids as young as 12 through hormone therapy\u2014an irreversible process\u2014is appalling. These children should not be treated like lab subjects; yet it seems that Nike views them merely as data points supporting an unsettling agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Harper&#8217;s participation raises further ethical concerns due to his bias as a trans athlete leading this study funded by Nike\u2014where is the objectivity? What about concern for these children&#8217;s long-term health? Or does all of this get overlooked in favor of advancing transgender ideology? <\/p>\n<p>Nike\u2019s refusal to engage meaningfully sends a message of disregard towards parents, athletes, and anyone who values integrity in sports. They seem content with vague denials while ignoring any harm caused by their association with this issue.<\/p>\n<p>The brand has previously aligned itself with progressive causes but crossing into child exploitation through funding studies crosses an ethical line\u2014it reflects recklessness rather than activism or education. If they truly had no involvement in such studies, why not issue a strong denial or take legal action against The New York Times for defamation? Instead, they appear passive while hoping public interest wanes.<\/p>\n<p>This situation transcends mere support for \u201ctrans rights\u201d; it&#8217;s fundamentally about safeguarding children from becoming subjects of corporate experimentation. Even if only alleged involvement exists, it tarnishes their brand irreparably\u2014athletes deserve better representation; women competing against males deserve fairness; kids should focus on playing sports instead of being studied like specimens.<\/p>\n<p>Nike must provide clear answers regarding its connection to this matter: what knowledge did they possess about it? How will they prevent similar situations going forward? Anything less would signify cowardice from these giants within sports apparel who have shown themselves lacking moral backbone amidst controversy surrounding them.<\/p>\n<p>Parents should reconsider purchasing from Nike if your child participates in athletics\u2014their priorities are evident: they&#8217;re not centered around children&#8217;s welfare anymore\u2014and they&#8217;ve forfeited any claim to moral authority consumers expect from brands today.<br \/>\nDemand accountability! A company silent over such serious allegations cannot be trusted nor supported financially.<br \/>\nThis isn&#8217;t merely inclusion advocacy but exploitation at play here! Whether through financial backing or silence alone signifies betrayal against everything sport represents.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s time for genuine accountability\u2014kids aren&#8217;t experimental subjects nor should corporate silence serve as justification.<br \/>\nDo better\u2014or exit stage left!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2430408,"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\/2025\/04\/Nike-Headquarters.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[54521,50410,54520,7591,53879],"class_list":["post-2430407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-brand-reaction","tag-controversy-2","tag-meek-response","tag-nike","tag-trans-study"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Nike-Headquarters.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2430407","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=2430407"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2430407\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2430411,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2430407\/revisions\/2430411"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2430408"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2430407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2430407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2430407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
