Thank you. I had not read anything about this. I am not surprised by how Nike treated Ms Felix. 🤬

CellyBlue: Allyson Felix -- what a WONDERFUL all-around person. And you describe pre-eclampsia just right. As shocking as was Nike's treatment of one of the TOP athletes in ANY field, my heart STOPPED on pre-eclampsia. From your narrative, that life-threatening event is in her past. What a BEAUTIFUL baby and the photo shows Nature's finest, very finest of her works: Mother and Child.

CellyBlue: I want you to know I find you AN INSPIRATION.

You have a real gift for writing, and you post matters that are true history. I LOVE your writing and what you share. You are among THE VERY BEST!

Thank you so VERY much!

Nike, Adidas, etc. all are guilty of corrupting sports. Nike has it's fingers into lots of pies in sports business.
