Just another corporation

When I first started this project, I hoped Nike would turn out to be doing the right things.  As I delved into the information online, I found much evidence to the contrary.  This upset me a bit, but I kept searching.  When I found the responsibility report, I was sure I had found just what I needed to clear Nike’s name.  It turns out that Nike is just doing what corporations do, and telling people what they want to hear while they make no real committment to change.  This project has left me very disappointed in Nike – I respected them more when they turned a blind eye to the labor abuses than when they straight up lied about doing something about them.  The class that I am doing this blog for will be over soon, but my interest won’t go away.  Just know that I will be steering clear of Nike products from here on out until I hear of some real change happening.  My friends all know how I feel about this subject, and so will plenty more to come.  Hopefully people listen and spread the word on.
