    actually its not nikes fault its that other company that makes there products

    @RICHARDxFTW I think that Nike should be blamed for this. They demand such low prices and when a company can not meet up to what they are asking for they will move on to the lowest bidder. This places a lot of strain on all who work in these factories because making less than $6 a day is much better than not making any money. If us Americans were willing to pay just a little more for our clothing, and Nike paid less to athletes, this issue could be solved, well theoretically speaking.

    Apparently Adidas is worse and #1 on the list. I guess this may be an epidemic of mass production consumer goods culture in the World and not just one brand.

  14. Chiszle says:

    @jakegamesnake no, your nike should go to the dump.

  16. SJGibbons1000 says:

    how apt for these slaves (and thats exactly what they are) that nike’s motto is “just do it”? fucking disgusting.

  17. Dethreid says:

    maybe a global minimum wage could be enforced using tariffs against any goods manufactured by employees being paid well below their actual production potential.

    higher wages = more consumption = more local jobs = more consumption = growth and rising standards of living.

    F$@# Nike. this person’s wife sponsors & models for them…. /user/Truthiracy3 ….all the while he is making money from innocent people by saying he is AGAINST Nike in his videos. Peace.

  19. robinkhaira1 says:

  20. debsaid says:

    Of all the sweatshop videos I’ve seen, this is the best one. It’s not a “boo-hoo” one, but actually shows something more sinister that is beyond defense. Wow.

  21. screenjunky says:

    @jakegamesnake did you really go ahead and donate your nike clothes?

  22. MontashBlog25 says:

  23. KripDrip says:

    nike is just trying to keep its costs down to stay profitable.

  24. KripDrip says:

    the costs of living are a lot lower in those countries.

  25. KripDrip says:
