Olympic weightlifter Sarah Robles is literally the strongest woman in America, but she is barely getting by — she lives on $400 a month — because she doesn’t have the backing of a major company.
Nike recently launched their “Voices” campaign, which honors great female athletes — women who run, box and play basketball. Why not a woman who lifts weights?
Tell Nike to step up — give Sarah a living wage, and give girls all different types of role models to look up to.
c’mon people. sign it!
though i know the olympics and nike are both whack, i’m a supporter of badass ladies.
if she’s putting in the work, she deserves the money and the exposure.
I love the Olympics, but there’s no denying that if a female athlete isn’t conventionally gorgeous she doesn’t have much of a chance of getting endorsements. No matter HOW hard they work. So yes, signing.
