Keady is brilliant. ESPN deserves much credit too for their coverage of sport ethics related issues. The six videos I have posted at Utube are partially related to the work Keady has done surrounding Nike sponsorship. They also scrutinize the media role in helping Nike takeover and privatize the University of Oregon here in Eugene. To watch them use the Utube search with keywords:nike university of oregon.

Hello. I am trying to contact Mr. Keady for two reasons: one to ask his help in creating a "captioned" version of this greatly needed, highly informative story for the hundred million-plus people with hearing loss for whom the non-captioned version is inaccessible, and two, to ask permission to screen the video on PhillyCAM, the newest non-commercial (community-run, community-based television station in the nation. my email is finkle.carol@gmail.com Thank you
