Nike, Beckham suit ends with no awarded damages

A Multnomah County (Ore.) Circuit Court jury on Thursday decided neither Dolphins WR Odell Beckham Jr. nor Nike were "in breach of contract, with no one awarded any damages.” Beckman sued Nike for $20M in 2022, "alleging breach of contract, only to be countersued by the sports apparel giant." Beckham "declared victory" in an instagram post. He wrote, “JUST DO……RIGHT @nike. ... my message to whoever needs this is, STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN! JUSTICE WAS SERVED!!!” Nike in statement said all of Beckham’s claims have been "decided against him without any monetary award," as the decision "confirmed that Nike complied with its commitments.” Beckham -- who inked a reported one-year, $3M contract this offseason -- sought more than $20M in damages from Nike, alleging the retailer “withheld royalties owed to him via a sponsorship deal.” Nike countersued for between $7-15M, claiming that Beckham had “violated his contract by customizing his gloves” (N.Y.
