A mayor in Louisiana rescinds a city's ban on Nike products

Kenner Mayor Ben Zahn said at a news conference that he did so on the advice of the city attorney.

“That memorandum divided our city and placed Kenner in a false and unflattering light on the national stage,” Zahn added…

Issued quietly last week, Zahn’s memorandum last week said Nike products could not be purchased for use at the city’s recreation facilities. It also required the parks and recreation department director to approve all athletic purchases by booster clubs using their facilities.
