Nike spent millions here in Oregon to defeat ballot measure 97, which would have raised the state's disproportionately low corporate tax on "C" corporations doing more than 25 million in sales in Oregon by 2.5%, by funding a series of deceptive TV ads.
Pretty sure they also had sweat shops for years and years. I'm not saying Nike is infallible. In this instance their message is pretty Damn good though, in my opinion.

There are many such cases and stories posted all over the Internet.
I agree, do you think Nike would have been better off picking up one of their stories instead?
why do you think Nike would use a persons story, one who obviously is not going to be affected by a ban, as opposed to a real life one who is....just to make a press release? Regardless of the message does this type of Nike press seem disingenuous to you?

Why would he push through something that has impact on so many people without a solid plan in place and without notifying the proper authorities in each country?
I can't figure it out, besides lunacy.

Maybe he passed it just so we could read about it.

Trump made the ban without any real information given. I would say at the time of the post by Nike the travel ability of Mo was in question. Things have been clarified in the last few days to some extent, but at the time of the tweet the outcome was unknown. Canada didn't know that dual citizens from the banned countries were allowed into the states, not until it was addressed a day (or 2) after the initial ban.
Trump executed this very poorly and hastily. He's a tool, imo.
