What, exactly does it take for Nike to dump a jock? Dog-fighting will do it. After Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick pleaded guilty to running a felony dog-fighting ring, Nike took action. “We consider any cruelty to animals inhumane and unacceptable,” the company said at the time.
But cruelty to women is O.K. I don’t know how else to read the company’s inconsistent stand. Here is a guy [Ben Roethlisberger] who treats women like garbage, yet a company that boasts of having humane corporate values uses him as their front man. Ditto Tiger Woods. Same with Kobe Bryant after a rape allegation, a case that was later dropped.
I’m sure Roethlisberger can live without his beef jerky contract or the praise of the hometown newspaper. But if you took away his swoosh, that would sting. Throughout the sporting world, and in many schools, the real pariah is the lone athlete not carrying Nike’s water.
Excerpt from Nike's Women Problem by Timothy Egan [NY Times via South Willard]

A benefit exhibition to support The Fresh Air Fund. Curated and organized by Peter Sutherland, the gallery hosts the artwork of photographers Andrew Laumann and Nicholas Gottlund (above). A website dedicated to the cause features the work of many more. Seems Books has published an accompanying catalogue of the same name.

greg.org: "In the Summer of 2009, an unidentified young man came upon the Google Street View Trike preparing to map the Binnenhof, the center of the Dutch government, in The Hague. He decided to tag along."
Update: "he's probably part of the Google Trike crew."
