We walked into the stadium through crowds of people selling clothing, trinkets, chorizos, steak sandwiches, choripan, coke, tons of stuff. There were probably a 50 little kids (12 years or under) we saw employed in some way. Our door was opened by an enterprising youth (Nikki promptly tipped him). We saw lots of kids selling random stuff or helping their parents booths. We saw a fair number of kids collecting minerals - aka plastic bottles and aluminum cans (recycling here is quite popular mostly due to large amounts of unemployed people who collect useful bits of trash to sell to the recyclers).

We can only imaging that at least some of the team gear was made in sweatshops.

Once we got inside the teams proudly took photos behind these two big signs which declared "No Al Trabajo Infantil!" or "No to Child Labor!" Yeah. About that.
