Odell Beckham Jr. Reflects On Nike Lawsuit Outcome: 'JUST DO……RIGHT @Nike'

Odell Beckham Jr. recently expressed relief following his lawsuit against Nike.

Still, the celebratory nature of Beckham Jr.’s response can be misleading, as the former All-Pro receiver received no monetary award in the case he filed back in 2022. According to Complex, OBJ “alleged breach of contract, reformation and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing."

"JUST DO……RIGHT @nike," the 31-year-old wrote on IG. "I wanna take this moment to thank God first and foremost thank you Heavenly Father. I wanna thank my team for every hour they have spent preparing on this case. I wanna thank the jury for simply doing what’s right in a world full of wrong… my message to whoever needs this is, STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN! JUSTICE WAS SERVED!!! ✊🏾🫱🏾‍🫲🏼🫶🏾."

Subsequently, a Nike rep ended up contacting Complex with this statement.

“With this verdict, all of Mr. Beckham’s claims have been decided against him without any monetary award. The decision confirmed that Nike complied with its commitments. Nike is grateful to the jury and the Court for their careful attention to this case.”

According to Portland Business Journal, a Multnomah County Circuit Court jury in Oregon “deliberated for a few hours on Thursday before reaching the decision that Nike never breached its contract by withholding royalties from Beckham."

"It also ruled that Beckham's glove customizations did not breach his contract, that Nike waived its right to enforce the contract for certain glove designs, and that Beckham did not violate his contract by disclosing terms of the deal," the publication wrote.

OBJ, a current Miami Dolphins' receiver, did respond, though he didn’t add any context.

"Gods child. Its never in question."

Reported by Complex in 2022, OBJ said the following pertaining to his legal action against Nike.

“I’m taking a stand not just for me, but to set a precedent for all athletes who have dedicated their life to the sport they love—especially those who don’t have the means to stand up for themselves. We are held responsible for fulfilling our obligations under our contracts, but we also have to hold powerful companies like Nike accountable for honoring their commitments, too.”
