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)

beast (48m) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (1h) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (1h) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (1h) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (1h) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (2h) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (2h) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (2h) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (3h) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (3h) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (3h) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (4h) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)

Mucky Tundra (13h) : I could feel my body decomposing in real time when I read that

Mucky Tundra (13h) : @MIKEYSAINRISTIL Tyler Shough will officially be the last person drafted to the NFL born in the 1900’s

Mucky Tundra (23h) : saw the tweet, he meant the city

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Was that for the team or the city?

Zero2Cool (23h) : Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 3m Draft grade is in: Green Bay gets an A. The people, the city, the venue were all superb. NFL Draft’s next

TheKanataThrilla (26-Apr) : Sam Howell to Vikings...guess no Aaron

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Agree

dfosterf (26-Apr) : Great idea imo

dfosterf (26-Apr) : 1st round to 7 minutes with one extension

beast (26-Apr) : Buddy Ryan used to say if a candy bar goes missing, there are two to blame, Rex and Rob 🤪 jk 😁

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Bum Phillips used to say there are two ways to get better. Get better players or get players to play better. We have a new DL coach

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 5 minutes in the 4

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 7 minutes between picks in the 2nd round

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : Sorry to bitch, but the headline writers in that section absolutely mislead, or don't know how to read. It is maddening

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : No thanks. Not a dependable guy to be in the right place and run the right route. Dumb as a box of rocks.

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : Losing 2nd round pick for a one year rental, not ideal. Especially a headcase.

TheKanataThrilla (25-Apr) : Pickens for Jaire may be interesting. Definitely not sure we want Pickens long term.

dfosterf (25-Apr) : No.Absolutely not

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : NO NO NO NO NO NO!!1 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

dhazer (25-Apr) : scenario: Our main prospects are off the board when our pick comes around, do we just throw a 2nd round pick at Pittsburgh for Pickens
