If the Issues Fit

Cinema World featured a German film yesterday. Specifically, about sneakers in the time of war. They were not spies. Dassler Bros. Rudi and Adi made sports shoes and even for "negro" Owens of the U.S. To make up for this violation, they made war materials for the Nazis. When the Americans won, Dassler reminded them of Owens. Still the brothers split the business between them (other than Adi's wife implicated with Rudy!), except that Rudi used to handle marketing, while Adi did production. Long story short, Adi's Adidas made the Germans win over Hungary for the first time. Longer cleats on their sneakers saved them that rainy day. Rudi's Puma was defeated, also by not giving in to the coach's demand for DM 1000/ month.

This is like a case study in mediation. In the end, Rudi left a note of congratulations to "the little guy."
