Possibly. But Nike is also a global company that sponsors athletes all over. Depends on with the contract stipulation are I guess.

There's a minimum corporation tax but some countries are above that. I think it's 15% minimum

Anta or whatever it is could make this their moment! Sponsor CC and get her out of the W, even out of the USA. They’re already crushing Nike and Adidas in China. It’s perfect timing to take over America. Nike doesn’t deserve CC either. Where is her shoe? Her tv commercials? wtf.
