Trust me on this one bra, people in Ghana dont need Tebow shirts thanks.

First time posting on the internet? Bra!

Are you telling me 12 year old children in a third world country were working away sewing at $1.27 cents per hour, 15 hours a day for nothing?

I am sure they are devastated that their work will not be appreciated and worn with pride.

WTF are people talking about? You’re mad because Reebok is going to make money and Nike isn’t? Nike wasn’t going to make a Tebow jersey?

Well that’s the point of corporations. If you were a stockholder of Reebok, wouldn’t you want them to try to make more money?

They sell these things for $300 because for some odd reason people buy them.

And you really think the cost to make the item is the only cost involved in getting it sold?

If Reebok’s contract had not expired before the trade, and the contract allowed for them to sell existing inventory, and the contract did not state existing inventory as of a certain date prior to the contract expiration, they have a point.
If it is wrong to create existing inventory 4 hours before it expires, is it wrong to create it 24 hours before? 2 days before? 5 days before? 1 week? A month? 1 month, 1 week, 3 days, 12 hours and 15 minutes before the contract expires?
Exactly when was Reebok supposed to stop making jersey’s?

I wonder how many of you calling these two companies greedy actually own them in your 401K or mutual funds?

Those $300 jerseys are the authentics. What most NFL fans buy are the replicas. And you actually think Nike will charge any less? Go to your local Foot Locker and have a gander at the price tags on Nike gear. They cut you or I no breaks in the marketplace. Nor will they in the future.

Yeah because Nike isn’t greedy. They just sling shoes in your local foot locker for $200 that cost them about 6 bucks to make (including the cost of payment to the children who made them).

What was Reebok’s claim in court? They must have made some sort of argument.

______________________________
I wondered the same thing, so I looked up Reebok’s opposition to Nike’s motion for a restraining order. Reebok essentially argues:

(1) Reebok had the right to sell these jersey’s under the “sell-off” provision of the Licensing Agreement (Note: that argument is clearly disingenous, because the “sell-off” provision allows Reebok to sell existing inventory, not create new inventory and sell it. Reebok even clumsily calls this “leftover inventory.” Yeah, right, leftover in the sense that they just manufactured it.)

(2) Keith Gordon of the NFL Players Inc. told Reebok it was ok (Note: does not matter what Gordon says because it was not his right to give away and Gordon denies he said it was ok anyway).

Hope Reebok gets absolutely slammed for these shenanigans. Serves them right for selling jerseys for $300 that can be manufactured for $15.

Who would have ever thought that vultures such as these would stoop so low as to make the NFL look like clowns for hiring either of them in the first place? Of course, we all know why they did it; league integrity takes a backseat to the green, baby!

No wonder they can’t win anything in 4 decades!

2nd off, did reebok make these shirts before 4/1? If so, I think they still have the right to sell them.

I thought there was an agreement that they could sell the rest of their inventory.

Trust me on this one bra, people in Ghana dont need Tebow shirts thanks.

Reebok has no business complaining about this.

Does this mean they can give them away? They can’t sell…but give?
