On the whiteboard were the names of five possibilities for the company's next big sponsorship push. Two of them, the NFL and the NBA, were in sports where Nike was well established, but the other three represented worlds where Nike was all but unknown: the Brazilian soccer team, the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team and a teenage golfing phenom named Tiger Woods.

Couldn’t readers adequately monitor arrest patterns if we had just said, for instance, that campus police charged a white male 20-year-old sophomore economics concentrator from Orem, Utah who lives in a fourth-floor Old Quincy dorm?
