Odell Beckham Jr. Celebrates $20M Win Against Nike Despite Jury Ruling He'll Receive $0 After Verdict
Odell Beckham Jr. celebrated a $20 million dollar win in a court case against Nike.
On Thursday, the football wide receiver urged Nike to "Just Do... Right" in his Instagram post after taking them to court back in 2022. He alleged the athleisure megabrand refused to pay what he was allegedly owed in compensation and royalties.
Nike countersued on the basis of a breached contract on his part. The jury later ruled that both sides were victorious, but defeated as plaintiffs in their respective lawsuits, per 'The Daily Mail.'
Beckham, 31, took the time to "thank God" and his team for the hours they spent working on his case, in addition to thanking the jury for "simply doing what's right in a world full of wrong.
"Justice was served," he wrote.
In a statement, Nike acknowledged there was no "monetary reward."
"With this verdict, all of Mr. Beckham's claims have been decided against him without any monetary award," the company statement read, per the media outlet. "'The decision confirmed that Nike complied with its commitments. Nike is grateful to the jury and the Court for their careful attention to this case."
Nike alleged that the Pro Bowl champ breached his agreement by improperly customizing his apparel, leading them to seek $1.15 million for a reported "footwear violation" and an additional $862,000 for a "gloves violation."
According to 'Sportico,' Beckham was prohibited from "polishing out, spatting, taping over, or otherwise covering or concealing the Nike marks on [items] football shoes in any manner," and also from "wearing non-Nike gloves, or otherwise covering or concealing Nike marks on [items] football gloves."
It's been reported that both sides maintain the right to appeal the ruling.
