How pissed is Nike when their top 2 riders JS & RD finish one two and neither mentioned their new Nike boots in their post interview?

To add insult....James still thanked Alpinestars in his! How much do you think that statement cost James?

They mentioned Nike all over the place during the broadcast, both James and Ryan thanked Nike and James is still sponsored by Alpinestars.....just not for boots.

I don't see the issue really.

How many athletes does Nike sponsor and how many thank them when they win?

I'd like to thank Nike...probably couldn't have gotten the job done tonight but thankfully my Nike cleats were really hooking up.

I DVR's the show and fast forwarded threw the fluff last night and just watched the racing and the final 450 podium interviews of Bubba & Dungey. I plan on watching the whole show again this evening.
