News Daily: Nike's Ronaldo 'concern', and anti-Kavanaugh protest
The sportswear giant Nike, which has a contract reported to be worth $1bn (£768m) with Cristiano Ronaldo, says it is "deeply concerned" by rape allegations against the footballer. It adds that it will "closely monitor" the situation. Ronaldo, who plays for Juventus and Portugal, denies assaulting former teacher Kathryn Mayorga at a Las Vegas hotel in 2009. Ms Mayorga has said she was inspired to speak out by the #MeToo movement. Meanwhile, another Ronaldo sponsor, the games company EA Sports, called the report detailing allegations against him "concerning".
