Pimp Sues Nike For 100 Million Because Company Didn’t Warn Him Of Dangers Of Using His Air Jordans To Stomp Someone’s Face
How dare Nike make such dangerous shoes! They obviously took over the pimp’s mind and FORCED him to stomp that man’s face!
Via Daily Mail:
A pimp is suing Nike for $100 million — and says that its Air Jordan shoes failed to include a warning on them that they could be used as dangerous weapons after he used his own pair to beat a man.
Sirgiorgiro Clardy, 26, alleges Nike is partially responsible for Clardy’s 100-year prison sentence for beating a man in 2012, The Oregonian reports. Clardy, a Portland-based pimp, was wearing a pair of Jordans when he stomped on the face of a man who was attempting to leave a hotel without paying Clardy’s prostitute, the paper adds.
Clardy was found guilty of second-degree assault by a jury in early 2013. The victim received stitches and plastic surgery, according to The Oregonian.
