Nike have completed the signing of it's first e-sports athletes

 you think of brand sponsorships like Nike, Puma, Adidas, or Reebok, most of the time these brands usually sponsor your more “traditional” athletes, such as football players, tennis players, boxers, basketball players, and so on. However it seems that eSports is becoming too big to ignore, and Nike is getting on board by signing its first eSports athlete.Nike has signed League of Legends player Jian Zihao, better known as Uzi, where he will be working with basketball legend LeBron James in the “Dribble &” campaign which will see the creation of new shirts. Zihao will be the first eSports athlete that Nike has signed, although Nike is not the first company to do so as IGN points out that previously Champion had partnered with eSports Team Dignitas where they provided the team’s official uniforms.
Like we said, eSports is on the rise with many tournaments and championships offering up millions in prize money.

Making the claim, Monday, at a briefing on the recent clash between soldiers and its members in Abuja, Abdullahi Zango, leader of the group, said the statement issued by the military and Police over the killing of Shi’ites were “fabricated lies cooked up to cover their atrocities.”While accusing the soldiers of attacking defenceless protesters, Zango said: “They continue to say that we are armed.
