No to Nike: College coach stands up to sweatshop labor | Edge of Sports

Edge of Sports is back! In this Season 2 premiere, former St. John’s University Assistant Soccer Coach Jim Keady joins Dave Zirin to talk about why he left college coaching in protest of Nike sweatshop labor. He then spent a month in Indonesia exposing the company’s sweatshop abuses, making the film “Behind the Swoosh.” We also discuss the recent film “Air,” about Nike’s relationship with Michael Jordan, and the ways Hollywood is whitewashing Nike’s sins.<br /><br />Studio Production: David Hebden, Cameron Granadino<br />Post-Production: Taylor Hebden<br />Audio Post-Production: David Hebden<br />Opening Sequence: Cameron Granadino<br />Music by: Eze Jackson &amp; Carlos Guillen<br /><br /><b>Help us continue producing Edge of Sports with Dave Zirin by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer:</b><br /><b><br /></b>Donate: <a href="https://therealnews.com/eos-pod-donate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://therealnews.com/eos-pod-donate</a><br />Sign up for our newsletter: <a href="https://therealnews.com/eos-pod-subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://therealnews.com/eos-pod-subscribe</a><br /><br />Like us on Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/therealnews" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://facebook.com/therealnews</a><br />Follow us on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/therealnews" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://twitter.com/therealnews</a>
