"Behind the Swoosh"

The video we watched in class was about a man named Jim Keady, He was a former all star soccer goalie. He was asked to have a coach position at St. Joesph's university. HIs team was great he was winning and doing what he loved which was coaching soccer. Finally, Nike offered the schol 3.5 million contract for St. Joe's to wear and promote Nike. Jim was all against this and little did he know would soon to come get fired for persisting that Nike was cruel and unjust in all means and completely went against Christianity. He decided that he would prove everyone wrong that Nike was really unjust. He traveled to Indonesia where the Nike factory is located. These people that worked there were paid 1.25$ a DAY. this was not enough money to buy basic necessities or even support their family. The Nike factory was truly unwilling to give any information to him,. The nike CEO would not speak with him. I really am lucky for what I have, after watching that I just feel so blessed!
