Really? That's not my impression. Of course you don't want to see Third
World workers tossed into the dirt, but then why have student anti-sweatshop
activists demanded that universities NOT enter into sweetheart deals with
Nike? This was raised when Nike essentially bought off the athletic depts.
at the University of Kentucky and St. John's. Also, I've yet to see
anti-sweatshop activists wearing Nike gear. Maybe some do; perhaps many. But
I haven't seen it.
