HBO Real Sports Has Trouble With The ‘Real’ Part
Last September, HBO aired a REAL SPORTS exclusive on inhumane labor practices in India, where children were forced out of school to work in squalid conditions for pennies, stitching together soccer balls.

Of course, there might be a teensy weensy problem if the stories are completely fabricated, and according to the NEW YORK POST, that’s exactly what soccer manufacturing giant Mitre is claiming.
