A city government in Rhode Island will buy fewer Nike products because a controversial sporting activist appeared on several ads, promoting the activewear maker.

North Smithfield Town Council in Providence passed a resolution with a 3-2 vote on Monday, Sept. 17, urging departments to refrain from procuring Nike products.
