Olympic clothes

WRONG!!!

It is UNAMERICAN not to have them manufactured here in the USA. Obviously the desicion makers are braindead! Braindead people should be put out of my misery!

Chinese maker of US Olympic uniforms says pay attention to the performance, not the clothes

Well, how about this angle:

The “clothes” we are talking about are high tech materials that effect performance not just street clothes. If the manufacturer of the best is based in china should we forego the best and let our participants suffer for it?

I say let the participants wear the best and let the rest of us be ashamed that we are not making the best.

Very good points there David.

ashamed that we are not making the best

I agree.

But we should be especially ashamed that it came to this.

More jobs were lost in the south from the garmet industries closing than any industry in the north that left.

I say the athletes should all be naked like in the very first Olympics back in Roman times.

Nike is supplying some of the competition attire, Ralph Lauren is outfitting the Opening Ceremonies, casual attire & the Closing Ceremonies. Yes, the athletes deserve the BEST competition clothing, but ceremonial & casual wear should have the “Made in the U.S.A.” label.

I think the huge corporate logos on them bother me as much as not being made in America. I wonder if younger folks care if anything is made in this country anymore. Is this another thing that dates us. Here’s Ryan Lochte, he just won a gold medal for the USA.

Look what he’s wearing on the award podium!

It sounds like each country should only wear cloths made from their own home country. This should include their daily wears as well as their event’s uniform. I can’t wait to see the Jamican sled team’s new winter out fit two years from now! : )

Since the rest of us wear clothes made in China, why not athletes uniforms. Does anybody in the US even remember how to make clothes?

WikiPedia, he say …
“The ancient Olympic Games (Ancient Greek: τὰ Ὀλύμπια – ta Olympia; Modern Greek: Ὀλυμπιακοὶ Ἀγῶνες (Katharevousa), Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες (Dimotiki) – Olympiakoi Agones) were a series of athletic competitions held for representatives of various city-states of Ancient Greece held in honor of Zeus. The exact origins of the games are shrouded in myth and legend but records indicate that they began in 776 BC in Olympia in Greece.”

Don’t try to nail me to the wall KnickKnack – I said Roman TIMES. Which could actually be now if you live in Rome.

No nailing being done at this end – just fixing a small error in the interests of correctness.

OMG,
So the Olympic is a pagan ritual. All these participants are probably bunch of pagan whorshipers.
I need to ban my kids from watching it :)

Thanks for the heads up.
