If it sells well, our hope is McDonald's will embrace this across their entire system and all 13,000 stores will convert to Fair Trade in the next year or two.

When they get here, we treat them all the same. It doesn't matter if you're on scholarship or if you're a walk-on. You get a fair chance.

They can win the job as easily as the players we've invested time and money in.
