How did Malia not deserve a Nike contract?

Nike is for celebrities.  Most of them are mid-career and rich.  This is normal even if it's not admirable.

The incoming quarterback at my kid's university has been guaranteed more than $10M in NIL.  [b]Universities are supposed to be about learning, not sports!!!! But hardly anybody cares about that.[/b]  This is the culture we live in.

Malia was chosen because she is aspirational.  At least she is trying to work for a living and not based on her looks or influencing.[/quote]

Fun fact, those dollars that are brought in by the sports teams often fund the other sports teams/activities that otherwise would not exist.  I get you hate athletes, but it is not the topic at hand.  Did Malia still an idea?  I guess only she can answer that, and I will wait to see her speak her truth, but the scenes are eerily similar.  Cannot deny that fact.[/quote]

PP.  I actually support that athletes get paid in NIL for what their work produces.  But I think it's a sham that we give so much lip service to them being normal students when they are new, self-made multimillionaires who don't actually need to be at school and often don't graduate.  There is no natural fit between universities and anything beyond club sports except what our culture has evolved over the past 100 years.  And it's a pretty American phenomenon.

I don't really care what else the revenue producing sports pay for.  The point is Anerican culture values some sports a lot in cash terms and creates celebrity out of it.  Nike exists at that intersection of money, sports, and celebrity, and Malia Obama is just another logical celebrity for them to work with given what Nike is all about. [/quote]
