I don't.

The fact that they're ugly as sin bothers me more...

Well, "ugly as sin" (on which I agree) is appropriate for the Olympics.

A good idea that has outlived its usefulness.

Well I do care. But this is just an indicator of what is wrong here in the US. it would be nice to say that our unis are made here but when they get get them shipped half way around the world for less money why not? The clothing industry like so many other union based jobs have priced themselves right out of global market place. They want to make $30 a hour fine. God bless them. But don't whine when no one wants to buy your goods.

I don't know how any American can not be upset by our Olympic uniforms, that represent the USA, being made in anywhere but here. No, its not a broken arm, but its like a papercut ... you can survive with no change in your life, but sure as hell is annoying. Actually, I do know how, they don't know from firsthand the struggles of starting a business or finding work in the US. They have a job so all is fine.

I despise all and any outsourcing of potential American jobs. Sadly there's little to no way around buying something as such.

Outsourcing is good. It means cheaper stuff. Cheaper stuff means more stuff. More stuff is good.

There is no God-given right to sell a product.

Bah.

I love my country, but I understand why others don't.

the reason i don't give a shit is because it's such a miniscule issue compared to what our country is dealing with right now.
i think it's ridiculous that an American company didn't make the uniforms but am i 'up in arms' about it? hell no!
i've got a dear friend, 35, who is now battling cancer for the 3rd freakin time, another friend who has a marriage falling apart, so i'm sorry if i don't drop everything & run to my legislature bitchin about some stupid uniforms.
call it apathy if you want but i just think there are far more important things to be discussed by our media & apparently our congress too.

It's like everything else in this country.....screwed up.
Yes, it's a small thing, but it's all those small things that have added up to put America in the place it's in now. Owing so much money to China, that if they want to collect on what we owe them, they can take us over without firing a shot.
Oh well.....it's the way things are now. And no one is willing to do anything REAL to change it. I don't see America recovering, ever.
(No, this "rant" isn't just because of the uniforms. It's because of the direction this country is taking)

Martha Careful (21h) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (21h) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
