7:30 Report - Nike Sweatshops and the Sydney Olympics

[t3trojans]

if they are employing people and giving them money surely its better then them having no money and dying? people are just like sheep and don't know the full story so just follow what everyone else is saying

@t3trojans So how about if I slap you in the face and then say: "Well, it's better than getting kicked in the nuts." That too makes no sense.

[t3trojans]

@VonBlo0d what you just said has nothing to do with what i just said?! Be quite you retard before i slap your balls and then kick you in the face.

@t3trojans you are about as stupid as it gets. trying to justify exploitation and slavery with the same old "it's better than starving" bullshit. They are forced in to this.

Learn some god damn history before you give your ignorant opinions you fucking tool.

[samuelfharbison]

@donttrustany1 leave the guy alone, didn't phrase it perfectly but these people would die without these sweatshops and the benefits that they provide for the community.

Now don't go around calling people a fucking tool without knowing what the hell you are talking about

'Just Stop It'

Nike should close the sweatshops, stop selling clothing and cease to function, people will be better off right?

No!

Several big Nike "gifts" have created sport spending "arms race" here in Eugene, Oregon. The Olympic trials have been relocated here. This makes Phil Knight happy and has led to a deepening "partnership" and increasing collusion between Nike and the City of Eugene government like rezoning of neighborhoods and eminent domain usage for sport-themed redevelopment. I have posted six videos about this complicated problem at U.O. Find them with a Utube search with keywords:nike university of oregon.
