Campus Connection: Adidas releases statement addressing alleged violations

On Sunday, the Cap Times posted my blog which noted UW-Madison is considering cutting ties with Adidas because the sports apparel company is being accused of sweatshop abuses. Although the piece didn?t run until Sunday, it was written on Friday. Two phone calls and two emails to Adidas representatives on Friday did not produce a contact, so I noted attempts to reach officials with the company were not successful. However, over the weekend an Adidas public relations representative emailed me a statement.
