The hypocrisy of this country is astounding..Something as significant as a stupid Olympic uniform calls for public outcry but then everything else being purchased by the general public that is made in China by shopping at Walmart etc. is completely acceptable and encouraged just makes no sense

I think there should be more of an outcry because the Olympic Uniforms are extremely ghey looking.

It is a start and it shouldn't end there but it will. Some of us do make an effort to purchase things made here.

The "powers that be" did everything they could to encourage this to happen, and now they want to join the "USA" bandwagon and hitch a ride with real Americans.

Definitely just pandering to the public for the "We're with you all the way" sympathy vote.

You want to talk hypocrisy, or tell me why something like the mans olympic uniform which is made in china, can be had for close to $1500.00, and the woman's, $1000.00. These were the prices they gave on the Good day show or something like that, but I bet it only cost about $200.00 to make each uniform. All of that, and they charge prices like t was made on Seville row, and they big guy pockets it all...
