He’s only tilting at windmills if this effort goes nowhere. If he makes a difference then he’s a hero.
I work at Nike. They were once thrown out of all the banks in Oregon and couldn’t get an advertising agency. At one point their main supplier was a Japenese company and this company decided to terminate their arrangement with Nike (might have been called Blue Ribbon Sports then). Phil Knight called his little team together and said “the bad news is that we’ve just lost our main supplier but the good news is we’ve got them right where we want them”. We all know what happened - maybe the second most recognized brand in the world.
I admire Doug for his perservence.
