Shirts, rally show support for Knight
■Two students are selling
‘I agree with Phil’shirts and
planonattendinga rally
today to voice their opinion
By Jeremy Lang
Oregon Daily Emerald
Andy Koper says he and his
partner Caleb Smith are just two
guys who decided to make some
T-shirts and voice their opinion.
But the pair of sports marketing
. students are also making a little
money on the side with their state
ment in the form of $10 “I agree
with Phil” shirts, created to sup
port Nike CEO Phil Knight.
The businessman and Universi
ty alumnus pulled his personal
donations, including a pledge of
$30 million to renovate Autzen
Stadium, after the University
joined the Worker Rights Consor
tium, a re
cently formed
labor moni
toring group.
The shirt
idea also par
odies last
week’s “I
agree with
Ryan” cam
paign—Ryan
being Univer
sity football
KNIGHT
player Ryan Schmid who spoke
about his Christian faith in the
EMU Amphitheater on April 25.
Approximately 250 donned
dark red shirts that said “I agree
with Ryan” in support.
“Basically, we’re just trying to
... get students motivated on the
other side of the issue and support
a man that has been very generous
to the University in the past,” said
Smith, a former linebacker for the
University football team.
[ Koper and Smith are also fuel
ing support for a rally today at
10:30 a.m. in front of Johnson Hall
to support Knight, although their
1
involvement was inadvertent.
“We were just walking through
[last week’s] street fair and saw the
‘I agree with Ryan’ shirts and I
said, ‘I agree with Phil,’” Koper
said. “We just heard about [today’s
demonstration] through the
grapevine.”
Rally organizer Josh Tuski said
he hopes University football quar
terback Joey Harrington attends

University in the past.
n
Caleb Smith
student
the rally. He and other organizers
have been in contact with Harring
ton but have not received an offi
cial confirmation from him.
Tuski added that support for
Knight’s bond with the Universi
ty is the purpose of the rally.
“We’re not out to say we’re anti
WRC or anything,” Tuski said.
Koper said their shirts are also
not a protest against the WRC or
the protesters who spent 10 days
and nights on the Johnson Hall
lawn in support of the labor group.
“It’s not like ‘you did a protest
and now we’re going to retaliate
4* . mmm. >
with a protest,’” Koper said.
Despite not being directly in
volved with the demonstration,
business has been good for Koper
and Smith. Koper guessed they
have sold 60-65 shirts in the past
two days to friends and people
who pass by the Lundquist Col
lege of Business, where they set up
shop Tuesday afternoon.
In fact, one of those shirts may
have gone to Knight himself.
Koper said two Nike manage
ment representatives who were on
Campus happened to walk by the
bench where the pair was selling
shirts. They bought one and said
they would deliver it to Knight
personally.
However, Koper and Smith
weren’t the first to display the “I
agree with Phil” parody. Ironical
ly, one of the most visible Chris
tians on campus said he used the
idea before they did. The man
who offers “Free God News” on
the corner of 13th Avenue and
University Street, who uses only
his first name, Doug, took an “I
agree with Ryan” shirt last week
and covered Ryan’s name with
Knight’s.
But Doug said Koper and Smith
have his blessing to sell their
shirts, and he will attend today’s
rally as well.
“Good for [them]; I hope [they]
sell all of them,” he said.
