I am sure it’s far from the only example of similar mistreatment, but.... I am glad these high profile athletes are paving the way for others to have options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/simone-biles-vaults-from-nike-to-athleta#post-2190047 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 14:41:57 +0000 Carla 2190047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! &nbsp;And Lisa P posted that Athleta will be available in Canada starting in August. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/simone-biles-vaults-from-nike-to-athleta#post-2190028 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 12:58:05 +0000 Janet 2190028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love her, and that's great news to hear!

She criticized Nike for failing to support pregnant athletes. Allyson has been making contributions to the design of lines as well as designing her own line of running clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/simone-biles-vaults-from-nike-to-athleta#post-2189878 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 20:27:06 +0000 Sloper 2189878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear it.&nbsp; Wasn't Allyson Felix (track star) also having problems with Nike when she was pregnant?&nbsp; I hope she's also moved on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/simone-biles-vaults-from-nike-to-athleta#post-2189759 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 14:47:43 +0000 Angie 2189759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simone Biles is SUBLIME, and what a score for Athleta!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/simone-biles-vaults-from-nike-to-athleta#post-2189733 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 12:01:12 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2189733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She is a class act all the way! So nice to see this move from one sponsorer to another with no trash talk from the athlete or the brand she’s leaving. I hadn’t heard about her tour, but given what she and others have revealed about USGymnastics, that’s fantastic. Good on her for finding a positive way to make a difference there as well. And of course those stats on her competitions continue to be jaw-dropping. Thanks for posting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/simone-biles-vaults-from-nike-to-athleta#post-2189732 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 12:00:50 +0000 kkards 2189732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been impressed with Athleta’s commitment to inclusion and embracing of women of all shapes, sizes, and colors. This seems to be a natural extension of that commitment.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/simone-biles-vaults-from-nike-to-athleta#post-2189659 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 00:25:36 +0000 JAileen 2189659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She is not just an impressive gymnast, but an impressive woman, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/simone-biles-vaults-from-nike-to-athleta#post-2189653 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 23:34:34 +0000 rachylou 2189653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that’s a big score for Athleta!

As her star rose in the world of gymnastics, her share of promotions within Nike didn't rise accordingly. Athleta will support Simone not only as an athlete, but as an individual outside of gymnastics who wants to be a voice for females and children. If Athleta sponsors a gymnastics tour with Simone and USA gymnasts, you can bet I'll buy a ticket.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/apr/23/simone-biles-leaving-nike-athleta-deal">https://www.theguardian.com/sp.....hleta-deal</a> </p>
