anti-racism wristband

[Dkrift]

Anyone knows if the wristband will be available in the U.S.? Ebay people are selling them for an arm and a leg.

the word is - no.

check out standupspeakup.com - It says they're only being sold in Europe and then it has a link to where you can find them but only lists Euro countries.

you should e-mail NIKE.com and ask them why as racism is all over the world

I hope people in the States choose not to buy them from Ebay. Part of the point of the wristbands, in addition to showing visible solidarity against racism, is that the proceeds go to charities that fight racism in football. So, the people selling them on Ebay have bought a charitable item at a low price (minimum donation of 2 euros), and are reselling it for high profit (They are selling for around 9 pounds). As much as I'd like to support the campaign and own the wristband, I wouldn't want to give money to Ebay vultures exploiting a charity. :mad:

The Nike site says they're only available in Southampton, London and Birmingham in the UK, BUT dear readers, they can also be purchased from the Nike store on St Anne's Square in Manchester (just off Deansgate, near Kendalls).

See. If everyone had there sensible heads on, there shouldnt be any need for rasism, not just in football in any sport. So ********ing what if the guy is black. Honestly. Get a grip all you ********ing racists. This is something that really really boils my piss man.

I like the idea of charitable donations for a good cause, who doesn't? But this wristband trend is getting out of control. Most of the bands people wear now aren't even charitable but are just trendy items put out by big companies to profit off of a good cause.

Seems like just about everyone. I watched the whole of the Palace/Bolton game this weekend and bits of the Arse/Villa game. As I've been looking to get one for my son (he plays on a team that's pretty racially mixed) thru a cousin in the UK so I took notice. Don't recall seeing anyone without one.

Here's a site selling them for £6 each, which is still quite a bit more than buying them at the local shops but a hell of a lot better than ebay.

Don't buy off that website. If you want to support the cause then contact nike and pledge money to the charities themselves direct. Those sites are profiting at the expense of charity.

There are so many wannabes walking around with the blue, yellow and now the black and white bands on in the UK. It is tragic.

That website looks very, very shady. I have heard recently about scam sites that look like paypal, etc but are just trying to get $$$ and are frauds.
