Instead, she said, she just felt personally humiliated.
Well, if I'm wearing a Nike hat, Nike t-shirt, Nike running pants, Nike shoes, and a Nike employee badge and make a joke in poor taste at a bar / mall / airport / etc, and the crowd turns to look at me with contempt for the humor in poor taste, it might reflect bad on Nike. The personal humiliation part is being called out in public on making a bad joke. She wasn't just personally humiliated, she was professionally humiliated. Job in PR = maybe know about PR...at least the "Do's and Don'ts" for survival.
It happens, which is why I suppose my Dad taught me early on that if I make a joke at the expense of somebody who is bigger, stronger, and angrier at the world than me, they might punch me out. Can happen in a bar, a grocery store, a parking lot, a motel lobby...it's life. That seems to apply to the internet as well, albeit with some caveats...never let your private thoughts wave around a company banner...
