What is the Connection Between Soccer and Slavery?

Check out the final score

Although Japan beat the U.S.A. in the Women’s World Cup, Free2Work shows that soccer ball companies in the U.S. take the lead in terms of their policies on forced and child labor.

Tachikara, based in Japan, receives an F grade on Free2Work, for its lack of transparency and failure to protect the rights of its’ workers. Adidas, on the other hand, who produced the official soccer ball of the tournament, receives an A- grade, along with other prominent U.S.-based companies like Nike.
