Olympic Uniforms for Team USA Made in China

A few weeks before the Olympics start and here we are arguing about Team USA's uniform. Americans have different opinions about the issue and as for me I agree that it should have been made here in the US. After all, the opening ceremonies is a chance to showcase what makes us proud as Americans. It doesn't feel right that while we are proud to be Americans, we're showing off products of another country. Indeed, outsourcing can't be stopped and we're not really asking Ralph Lauren to bring back all their production here. We understand that they are also thriving but they should have made an exception.

 As for the politicians, although I share the same sentiment, I think they should not put all the blame to the Olympic Committee. Come to think of it, the committee is privately funded. They are not really in the position to demand from the sponsors.

This argument should end soon because it will definitely affect Team USA. We don't want out team to lose focus, do we?
