Storm in a teacup?

there's an election coming up in the USA and unemployment is an issue.

The issue isn't that they were made in a sweat shop. It is that they were made in a sweat shop abroad and not a US one.

Be interesting to know where Team GBs kit is from.

I would imagine, Gromit, that most of the kit for most of the teams is made in China! However as jno points out it's election year in the US and this is meat and drink to politicians!

as opposed to their own sweat shops?

or as opposed to ethically produced, but more expensive stuff for anywhere?

if we want things to change, we all need to ensure we don't buy from sweat shops!

but will we/do we?
