The Nike forums? Nike's forum?

Hi,
I need help with a sentence here...my friends are having an argument over this sentence...
Is this sentence grammatically correct? If not, why?
"I think that the quality of the English used on the Nike forums is bad."
Some are saying "the Nike forums" is acceptable as there are many sub forums within the main forum, i.e. Nike Shoe discussion forum, Nike Clothing discussion forum, Football discussion forum., etc

However there is another group who is claiming it should be "Nike's forum".

Thanks in advance!

Nike's forums, or Nike forums are are both ok but sentence structure changes a little: "I think that the quality of English used on the Nike forums is bad" "I think that the quality of English used on Nike's forums is bad". I imagine Nike forums being more commonly used. " In England, we don't say "the quality of the English", we would just say "the quality of English".
