'Boys' club' lawsuit against Nike's board of directors dismissed
April 15, 2019 at 17:04 PM EDT
The lawsuit alleged Nike's board didn't act quickly enough to protect shareholders against claims of gender discrimination and sexual harassment. In a five-page order issued Monday, Multnomah County Judge Leslie Bottomly granted Nike's motion to dismiss, writing that plaintiffs' "where there's smoke, there's fire" argument came up short of legal requirements.
