Nike Apologizes For Racially Offensive ‘Black And Tan’ Sneakers


Posted on Mar 15, 2012 @ 04:00PM - 10 comments

By Radar Staff

Trying to be on top of their game by releasing Irish themed sneakers running up to St. Patrick’s Day backfired for sportswear giant Nike, and they are now apologizing for the racially offensive shoes.

The Nike SB Black and Tan Quickstrike were meant to be named after the popular Black and Tan drink, which is a boozy mix of stout and lager (usually Guinness and Harp or Bass), but Nike didn’t realize that the term was originally coined for a British paramilitary group in the 1920s, known as the "Black & Tans," who became notorious for their brutal assaults on civilians during the Irish Revolution.

Sinead O'Connor's marriage is over, again!

After her whirlwind Las Vegas wedding to Barry Herridge on December 9, Sinead announced the two were splitting after only 17 days of marriage — only to call off the breakup eight days later after what she called an intense night of "mad lovemaking."

But this time the Nothing Compares 2 U singer says it's over for good, and in a new diatribe posted on her blog the 45-year-old singer says she blames the media in Ireland for the destruction of her marriage.
