Nike at the Olympics

As you have probably seen on the news lately, people are making themselves heard when it comes to protesting the Olympics in China.  This seems rather silly to me after working on this blog for the past few months.  I wonder if any of these people have ever hassled Nike about having factories in communist China and taking advantage of the fact that labor is so cheap there.  I really wonder if any of these torch-thieves have been wearing Nike shoes as they protested.  The simple fact is that Nike endorses the Olympics and Nike has partnerships with Chinese factories – maybe they should be getting some of the heat.  You know, Nike probably is getting a whole lot more flak than we hear about, it’s just that the corporate-owned media doesn’t like to put controversial corporate practices in the spotlight if they can help it.  And sometimes I wonder why I don’t subscribe to cable TV – I get sick of the bias just from the few minutes of the news I catch at friends’ houses!
