Nike Changing Pregnancy Policy

(Beaverton, OR)  --  Beaverton-based Nike is changing up its policy when it comes to pregnancy for athletes.  The move comes after the company faced criticism for cutting compensation for some of its athletes on maternity leave.  It came to a head recently when Olympic runner Alysia Montaño was informed Nike would stop paying her while she took time to have a baby.  Nike says that moving forward, contracts with female athletes will be changed so that no one is penalized for pregnancy.
