Boxer Manny Pacquiao was released from his contract as a Nike athlete this week due to his anti-gay comments, saying that gay people were "worse than animals." Pacquiao responded to this controversy and said that he respected Nike's decision to no longer have him be associated with the sportswear brand. In a video obtained by TMZ, it looks like Pacquiao's not holding a grudge against Nike, as he's seen working out in a T-shirt from his previous line with the company.

There's no other context to this clip right now — maybe he didn't have any time to buy new workout gear — but it still seems odd that he was seen in public wearing clothing from the company that recently ex-communicated him.
