Thank you

Barf. Pay your damn taxes!

Americans shouldn't have to depend on the charity of mercurial billionaires for something as basic as healthcare, which should be a human right, not a fucking luxury

That's a better use of his money then funding Republican candidates for Governor in Oregon.

No I’d feel better if you’d stop worshiping a billionaire who spent half a century exploiting slaves hoarding wealth and funding fascists to avoid taxes just cuz now that he’s got one foot in the grave and can’t take it with him he gives a little back (as long as they put his name on the building).

My neighbor has a sign: “No more tax cuts for billionaires” but the words “tax cuts for” are painted over. 👍🏻

There are no ethical billionaires.

Good to hear...❤️...He was in the 10th Mountain Division in WWII...

Hey! Trump that is what makes a person like Knight a Nobel Prize winner. His contributions are felt by people around the World.

Awesomeness.

Thank you Phil Knight Something that is needed and can’t be taken away. ( My degree from OHSU salutes you)

Nice. He will be remembered well.

Next gift: $500 million to replace the cut to mRNA vaccine research by Wormbrain Jr.?

Meanwhile, Elon Musk flushed away $250 million getting a pedophile that cannot stand him reelected President. Some people have too much money.

Trump will just take it.🤷‍♀️

Thank you, Phil Knight! 💙🫶💙

How did this one slip through the net? Surely they are all greedy creeps who covet gold and want to pay fealty to the Pedo Prez. I bet he gets kicked out of the Billionaire Bastard Club now.

Elon should pay him a visit. He could learn a thing or two.

Knight’s given billions to education, but the U.S. still loses huge sums each year to tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy money that could fund public needs without relying on philanthropy. Shouldn’t we prioritize fair taxation over depending on generosity?

We should tax him instead.

How about joining with five other multi-billionaire philanthropists to set up an independent non-profit whose purpose is to measure the American economy and to improve the science of measurement. Set it up and let it run itself under a board composed of some of the nation's best social scientists.

Giving to his Alma mater.

That's absolutely wonderful!

Maybe I was too quick to judge all billionaires.

What are the conditions in the factories making the products and how much do the people make that have enabled him to make his billions?

That child slave labor in Vietnam worked out well for him, I guess.

He shouldn't have that much money to start with. It is immoral, his giving it away does not mean shit. Kill the Golden Calf. Tax the fucking rich

Wowza. Thank you Phil Knight via @forbes.com

He also tried his best to buy himself a governor here in OR. F**k Phil.

Thank god for people like him. Thankyou sir.

Thanks Uncle Phil! Go Ducks!

Can he lead the opposition?

We shouldn’t have to rely on the philanthropy of corrupt billionaires for cancer research. Duh.

He is trying to get his soul back from the devil.

No there isnt, one cannot become that rich without either directly or indirectly profiting of horror.

Legend

That’s a real business person

He is a Republican

So he underpaid poor people to get rich, and is hailed as a philanthropist? This world is so confusing.

Thank you for your gracious gift. OHSU will make good use of it.

Elon says it’s way better than getting Molotov cocktails thrown at your shit. 🤣😂

Is he an actual dinosaur now?

If he paid taxes and didn’t build a shoe and fast fashion empire on the backs of Asian slave labor, maybe we wouldn’t be in this GD mess. He doesn’t get a cookie for doing a decent PR stunt. Like most billionaire “donations,” look deeper into the charity.

And he donates big time to republicans.

A nice gift to the Cancer research community. This guy is who bought off Washington County and the city of Beaverton, to develop the wetlands& game refuge set aside for all, into the Nike world headquarters, where the no-longer-public trails are patrolled by rent-a-cops. He’s not that nice of a guy

I love that! ❤️

If true? Bless you Sir!

Giving billions is great but NOT SO GREAT WHEN your products are being made by kids, your business plan is to sell like crazy regardless of the environment, to cut sponsorship to champions because they decided to be mothers (ie. Allyson Felix),… If you give the picture, give the full picture.

How generous!

Wow! Also, did you know the president was involved in a pedophile sex ring.

The power to be decent human beings resides within us all - even the billionaires.

Nice. But if he had been taxed correctly, you wouldn't need his money.

Class act👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

But using sweatshops and child labor to make his shoes. Propaganda.

Philanthropy is a scam to get out of taxes and make billionaires feel good enough to pretend that they arent a pox on humanity. They should stop raking in record profits, and pay the slave labor they hire living wages instead.

Like they don't make enough already from Chemo and Radiation, the go to protocol for the last 75 years! The last thing they want is a cure for cancer! It will stop the money flow! Anyone who gives money to any cancer research is a damn FOOL!

That's nice. Will he pay his fair share of taxes? That would also fund cancer research. I don't think the rich people realize how much the poor are thinking of "doing a Luigi" on them. Remember: Firing Squads are in wealthy peoples' future if they support this MAGA fascist regime takeover!

Stepping up 🙌

Two billion? Mackenzie Scott says “Hold my beer.”

...did he bought his golden pass to heaven ?

...and ? More éducated MAGAs , no more cancers ?

Good. Hope they will do the research the President has cut.

More taxes, less donations.

Giving away money stolen from workers doesn't make him a hero.

Still a billionaire. Still accumulated that wealth off the backs of other people, using and abusing and underpaying them. All billionaires are EVIL

That would be U of Oregon and Stanford, the 2 schools he attended.

Great maybe he could look up student loan debt and pay that off for Americans. I mean, charities are great and cancer research is great, but paying off the student loans of people, well that's life changing now.

yeah, well he’s also a huge gop donor so don’t clap too hard. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

He's also a major MAGAT.

AND his wife.

Shouldn't he have just been taxed appropriately? Oh that's right this way he can prove what a great guy he is...... Really just tax these people. He just wants to control where his money goes.

Not to take away from his generosity but he donated to the Knight Cancer Institute at “Nike University”. I’d like to hear about donations to state universities without Division 1 sports teams. I say this as a former Nike employee of 20 years.

Grateful. What is it about the Philanthropic people of this generation (many women) that drew them to changing their appearance? Marlo Thomas? Madonna? Angelina Jolie? Maybe a separate conversation?

Pity Musk and Bezos are such greedy cunts

No.

Thank you

Thank you

Martin Luther (the first one) would have said fuck you. You can’t buy yourself into heaven

He’s trying to rescue his soul from the pits of hell for all the child slave labor that went into his Nike and Chuck Taylors.

Thank a homey for allowing Knight to be so generous.

It'll be the guillotine for him-

It's a tax write-off.

he saw what his fat buddy did in DC to cancer so at least he did the right thing for once

A little late for bilionaire image therapy, Forbes.

Give, gave, given: simple present and past tense and pluperfect. Gift: noun (the object that is given).

Gives. Not gifts. The pretentious stinks.

Child labor

hmm, steals wages from workers and gives to education to wash the blood off his hands.....HE SUCKS!

Good for him.

The rest of the world‘s billionaires should take note of what to do with their money, especially when they realize if limited time is and what an impact they can have simply accumulating wealth really doesn’t do much in the big picture and what we were all put here —make a difference

He is also an asshole.

God Bless You Sir❤️

So I guess he thinks he’s a hero now or he’ll be forgiven for the evil he created to build his fortune. You’re still going to hell dude. He already looks like he’s the walking dead..🤮

Your comment is just an indication that you believe you'll be rich one day.

Oh please.

I agree with this in theory, but then I look at the current US administration and think is that money really better in their hands? (But yes, a billion dollars in a ludicrous amount of money for any person to have).

Agree

90% on the RICH, that is😉

Bravo.

Nice, Phil…🙏🏼🇺🇸💙

Maybe he should have paid his slave workers a proper wage and have decent conditions before doing donations?

Fuck that guy.

Where are the younger philanthropists? The Gen X and Millennials?

💯🙏💯🙏💯🙏

But he is a GOP who tried to run an independent’ in Oregon for Governor while also supporting the Republican candidate. A real scumbag thing to try and screw the Dems. Luckily we figured out what he was doing. Yes he gives a lot to his Alma Mater so 🤷‍♀️. Not impressed. Just another greedy billionaire

His company paid thugs to kidnap and beat a labor unionizer in my country. His $2 billion "donation" came from the wealth generated by young girls who are paid pennies to make the shoes he sells in the West for hundreds.

One of our least greedy billionaires?

Thank you to this man and FDT

Thank you!!

The fact that someone has 2 billion sitting around to donate (and it was a generous donation to a great cause) just means billionaires aren’t taxed nearly enough.

We can cure cancer if we rid the world of billionaires.

He's donating money he never had to pay taxes on.

He also forced the US to normalize relations with the Khmer Rouge so he could use even cheaper labor with less restrictions.

How about paying the workers in Cambodia more than $204 a month? That’s quite philanthropic

It is possible! To be a billionaire and a philanthropist.

I’ll bet the baby fucker will be trying to figure out a way to get his TINY hands on the Donation

Outstanding 🌹
