 HickokSports.com - Biography - John Mackey
Mackey was a halfback in his first two seasons at Syracuse University but was moved to end as a junior in 1961.
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Mackey was lighter than most tight ends, but he was a crushing blocker and he had a good turn of speed that often enabled him to get open for a pass deep down the middle of the field.
Also in 1970, Mackey became president of the Players Association and was a major force behind the strike of 1971.

Mackey was the first president of the NFL Players Association after the merger of the NFL and AFL in 1968.
Mackey's lawsuit challenged the so-called "Rozelle Rule" which required a team signing a veteran free agent to provide "fair and equitable" compensation to the team who lost the player.
Mackey challenged because in effect this rule served to stifle competition by keeping player free agents stuck with their old teams and limiting their bargaining power.

 John Mackey, et al
John R. Gibson; Circuit Judge, concurring in the denial of the rehearing en banc, joined by Wollman, circuit Judge.
Our discussion in Mackey was couched in terms of "agreements" because in that case we were presented with unlawful restraints which, although initiated years before football players had been represented by a union, had been incorporated by two bargaining agreements.
It argues, however, that the restraints involved in cases supporting this rule were not developed in the collective bargaining process and the employment relationships in those cases were not controlled by the labor laws.

 John Mackey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
John is a fiery guy with small hands, and when his hands aren't doing most of the talking, he has a predilection for ending words in "y." Any still photo of him betrays his kinetic personality.
Perhaps John's admission into Juliard demonstrates the reality that drive is more important than talent: John sought every opportunity to meet with John Corigiano and corresponded with him after every meeting, so when he finally applied to the school, his teacher-to-be was already on his side.
Mackey doesn't follow this method per se, but he was always able to describe his compositions in a few sentences in a way that made good sense.

 The Transformation of John Mackey - Mises Institute
Coming out of the counterculture movement of the 1960s and 1970s, Mackey, a vegetarian, a former long-haired and bearded commune resident, a student of ecology, yoga and eastern philosophy, writes that he idealistically opened a small, food store in 1978 with his girlfriend, with a total capital outlay of $45,000.
He'd been taught, Mackey explains, that "business and capitalism were based on exploitation: exploitation of consumers, workers, society and the environment." After a year in business, he saw a reality that didn't mesh with his decades of anti-business indoctrination.
By incorrect branding, Mackey means that too much emphasis about individual freedom has been focused on side issues, such as the legalization of drugs, and not enough on the big picture.

John Mackey, the founder and CEO of Whole Foods, is one businessman who disagrees with Friedman.
It seems Mackey’s philosophy is more accurately described by Karl Marx: “From each according to his ability” (the shareholders surrender money and assets); “to each according to his needs” (the charities, social interest groups, and environmentalists get what they want).
After all, Mackey says corporations are viewed as “selfish, greedy, and uncaring.” I, for one, consider free market capitalism to be a high calling, even without the infusion of altruism practiced by Whole Foods.

John Bernard MacKey (16 May 1922-12 May 1945) was an Australian recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
On 12 May 1945 at Tarakan Island, North Borneo, Corporal Mackey led his men along a very narrow spur where it was almost impossible to move to a flank.
The section came under fire from three well-sited enemy positions, but Corporal Mackey went ahead, charging his first position, wrestling with and killing one of the enemy and he then rushed a heavy machine-gun post, killing the crew.

 Sunni's Salon Interview with John Mackey
I thought that a very odd phrase, since many individuals come to the freedom philosophy from a left perspective -- and lots of pro-freedom people are more concerned with personal and social issues than economic ones; that's generally considered to be a "leftist" slant.
Usually people who define themselves as "leftists" are opposed to capitalism, economic freedom, and believe that the coercive power of government should be used to create more equality and social justice in society.
Human beings are highly social animals and we evolved over hundreds of thousands of years living in small hunting and gathering tribes.

 Hammer of Truth | Libertarian Community Weblog » john mackey
Will Johnston profiled Whole Foods founder and CEO John Mackey, but the emphasis was not on his business success but on his social and environmental awareness while achieving that success.
Mackey’s rapid ascent to minor celebrity status—fueled by his company’s even faster climbing share price—has provoked a flurry of profiles in publications like The Economist and USA Today, all puzzling over his seemingly contradictory views.
“Instead of embracing the notion of the ‘expanding pie’ vision of capitalism—more for everyone, or win-win,” Mackey argues, “they [unions] frequently embrace the zero-sum philosophy of win-lose.” Aware that union busting is illegal, Mackey persuaded the employees in the few stores that dared to collectivize to discontinue their efforts.
