Have some sympathy. 100 kids just lost their jobs in Thailand and China.

[GameForAnyFuss]

Yep, that’s $1.25 a day for a 14 hour shift out of their pockets.

Yes, $1.25 which is better than no job over there. Not saying that Nike shouldn’t pay better. But those 100 might now go very hungry

[EagleMountainUte]

While I see your point his was just a joke not a serious take on Nike sweatshops.  

[KJU]

My bad and you are correct. I guess I am a little too sensitive to the subject having gone over to China and Thailand for work.

I talked once with the foot doctor for an NBA team.  He had a rule that players, especially big men, wear a new pair of shoes every game. He said the stitching on shoes can only handle so much force.  These guys are physical anomolies and ffter one game the shoes were compromised. 

Another data point, not sure if that was part of it.  Hope Zion has a full recovery.

Everyone is tweeting at me that I’m “too quick” to make this account. Well, I also exploded 30 seconds into the game. Call me “The Flash”.

Maybe those freaks of nature need to get their shoes from Wolverine or Sorel.
