Guys, drinking and driving sells.

Any athlete sponsored by Nike should have to do a world-wide tour of their sweat shops.

Way to kill the buzz, bro. This is supposed to be big news!

Yeah, a dream come true, as Jones refers to it. Doesn't change the fact that a known drunk driver will be making millions off a company that is known for its own unethical behaviour.

Come at me, Jones fans.

There is a difference between been a native speaker and been able to barely communicate

What company these days that run factories in 3rd world countries have good ethical behavior. Its a shame but thats reality.

Doesn't mean it's something that should just be swept under the rug.

in NA maybe, but Anderson is a rock star in Brazil and I'm pretty sure he's more famous world wide.

You have a point,,, unless your being hypocritical. I would assume you have no top brand clothes, you wouldnt want to throw stones at someone taking Nike money while your giving Nike money, and then marketing them for free by wearing their merchandise. How about a mobile? You got a mobile phone? You should go to Kongo and see where the minerals to make a mobile phone come from,,, shouldnt you??

Im not saying any of this is right, im just saying dont be hypocritical. But some people seem to look at only negative aspects to any mma news

Jon Jordans...

While it is next to impossible to be completely aware of every company's ethical practices, I make sure not to support any of those I am aware of (this goes for clothing, food, etc.).

It is the nature of the manufacturing world that the vast majority of our consumables are produced unethically, I realize that, but there is a difference between purchasing clothes (a necessity) and actively promoting said brands.

Meh. Why is buying Nike or any top brand a necessity? There are brands out there that dont use sweat shops. If not that then surely buying something with no logos would be a lot better than openly marketing a company which uses sweat shops or the like. If you want to criticize Jones for taking the deal, i would assume you do all these things.

Like i said before, i assume you have no mobile phone. The minerals used to make any Mobile phone come from Kongo Mines where children are working in horrible conditions. Do you support that? I assume you dont, but you'll fund it anyway.

Come on man, lets be real. You wanted to take a shot at Jones, and missed. Hypocrisy got in the way.
