How much?

Better yet, the money could be spent fighting human trafficking.

Uniforms are part of the recruiting staff.

So when you said, "flame away," you didn't really mean it?

benny1982

"Flame away" means to criticize one's viewpoint, not post something idiotic.

BleedCougarBlue2

I'm criticizing your viewpoint by implying that it's an "old person" viewpoint.

So far, any agreement with Nike about free uniforms is just speculation. Do we

Burden of proof lies with you on this one. You are the one with an insane claim

Point is you make a claim with no proof and expect others to believe it's fact.

I don't doubt that. But do fan sales help us get another recruiter?

Moot point. They are not spending recruiter money to fund the uniforms

Instead of making a claim without proof, provide the proof that backs the claim.
