"Nike sometimes, they feel like you don't have another option," she told Time. "So they can get away with stuff like that because, where are you going to go? And I think that's how I was always perceived: 'She's never going to say anything. She's never going to speak out.'"

Brands like Burton, Altra, Nuun and Brooks came forward to announce new contractual guarantees for women who have children while being supported by their sponsorships.

She helped set the current 4x100 world record of 40.82 seconds. At the world championships, Felix has 13 gold and 18 total medals, more than any athlete ever. She has won six Olympic golds, more than any woman runner ever.

Her contract with Nike expired in December 2017, and she was pregnant as she negotiated a new deal with the brand. She said Nike offered her a 70% pay cut in the new contract and failed to explicitly support maternity protections she requested in the contract.

Update: Following this report, after broad public outcry and a congressional inquiry, Nike announced a new maternity policy for all sponsored athletes on Aug. 12. The new contract guarantees an athlete’s pay and bonuses for 18 months around pregnancy. Three other athletic apparel companies added maternity protections for sponsored athletes.

"The world doesn't need more shoes, but the world does need to see women wholly and meet them right where they are."

Our voices have power. NIKE has joined in officially and contractually providing maternal protection to the female athletes they sponsor. This means that female athletes will no longer be financially penalized for having a child. I’m grateful to John Slusher and Mark Parker for their leadership and their desire to guide NIKE as a company who believes that we are all more than athletes. And THANK YOU to the brands who have already made this commitment. Who is next?

Last week Allyson Felix revealed that two of her former Nike teammates, Olympic runners Alysia Montaño and Kara Goucher, heroically broke their nondisclosure agreements with the company to share their pregnancy stories in a New York Times investigation. .They told us stories that athletes know to be true, but have been too scared to tell publicly: If we have children, we run the risk of pay cuts from our sponsors during and after pregnancy. It is an example of a sports industry where the rules are still mostly made by and for men.
