if only there was a god

@jaychotch And can you explain how Phil Knight exploits his child workers? As for the athletes, I think anyone would agree that they make way too much money, however the amount they receive from sponsors, including Nike is based off the popularity of the athlete. Nike sponsors athletes to promote their product, and sales of their product go towards paying their employees, making donations, paying taxes, and of course paying their management including Phil Knight for piecing it all together.

@jaychotch I'm interested, more than anything, to know more about what you're saying. What exactly do you consider the worst areas of charity? What do the real honest people of this world need? Who are the real honest people for that matter? What stats regarding American schools are you referring to? What school have you been to, at least in America, where teachers are sitting in fancy chairs? (I only ask the last question, because I've visited many schools in America and haven't seen that

He deserves to go to hell this mother fucking bastard he's making the poor Indonesian people into slaves and by the way they have terrible working conditions and live like animals

[jaychotch]

@WBeez Charitable Contributions to education? Are you kidding me? Knight gives money away to the worst areas of charity without realizing what the real honest people of this world need. Have you seen the stats on American schools? Nike could be funding teachers to work at what they are good at, teaching, not sitting in a fancy chair or desk funded by this ideological lunatic but this schmuck instead chooses to exploit child workers and pay athletes who contribute nothing to society.

i will never ever wear Nike shoes.....

[WBeez]

@850538050 Phil Knight hasn't committed genocide. I'm sure you're thinking of the Indonesian military. By removing Nike's presence from Indonesia, what would happen? Also, just so you are aware, to constitute the word "slave," a person cannot be paid, regardless of the amount, nor can they have choice.

@KazekageGodaime Really? Don't you think "f***ing piece of crap" is a little extensive for a guy who donated over $100 million for cancer research? Not to mention millions more for education and other things. Should it be a requirement of the rich to make charitable contributions?
