I find it ironic that Nike is sponsoring an event that is trying to make a statement against global poverty. It's kinda like the tobacco companies who do anti-smoking ads to try and improve their image. If Nike really cared about the poor they would change some of their global business practices, instead of dumping money into an event so they can wave their logo in front of the camera some more.

Have you checked out Nike's business practices? I'd encourage you to do that.

If they're all poor then how could they afford to fly there?

The teams are sponsored and also fundraise to raise the money for their tickets.
