A friend of mine works for this program that goes around to schools teaching kids about the Nike sweatshops. In that speech he tells those kids not to boycott Nike because it hurts the people in the sweatshops so much more than the people in power. He says instead to buy the shoes and then cut off all the insignias on them and to send them back to the company with a note saying how deplorable they thought the company was and that they refuse to advertise for them. And actually he's a coach of some little league team so all the kids got the shoes, cut off all the stuff, made pile of them, took pictures, and then took pictures of it burning and sent that to the company too. It was kinda funny.
