Hey Mark!

Hey Mark... 

Was just looking at some online news...  and came across this article on your company Nike. 

I remember reading a story about you in Fast Company and about how you supported the Live Strong Foundation. 

I know you're a cool guy.... You seem like you genuinely care about your employees.  I know that you are running a publicly traded company and are under extreme pressure to continue to grow at an unreasonable rate.

However, I would urge you to adhere to your own moto "Just Do it"  and do the right thing. Either by ensuring that the Indonesians in this video have a decent working environment or...  bringing more jobs back to the U.S. 

My son and I just watched this video,  and his comment was "How could anyone work in a factory like that?"   

thanks!
