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)

packerfanoutwest (2h) : or did you resctrict access to that topic?

packerfanoutwest (2h) : why did you remove the Playoff topic?

Zero2Cool (17h) : Tua’s old DC won a Super Bowl Year 1 with Tua’s former backup

Mucky Tundra (18h) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (10-Feb) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : This might be the kill shot here
