Ditch, Your view on selling some tee shirts is a very demeaning phrase, when I know you are aware of the potential marketability of a new fad or craze type clothing, such as Mossimo, or Tommy Hilfiger. When you include the concept of sports, or NextLevel, I think you are just purposely turning your back, and closing your eyes to the enormous potential sales, not just in tee shirts, but also sweatshirts, caps, shorts, socks, tennis shoes, backpacks, sunglasses, sunvisors, trading pins, even sports equipment, shin guards, bat bags, bats, balls, footballs, basketballs, tennis rackets, posters, anything associated with sports. Who are you to know this CEO's vision and drive. Has he told you he only is going to market tee shirts, and then close up shop, and blow away in the wind? If you are jealous of a man's aggressiveness in the business community, shouldn't you just state that fact? This man has got idea's that many of us would love to be in possession of. You aren't, so it's beyond you of what this man's overachieving ability can do for him, and people who believe in him. That's me. I believe in his cause. He wants to market sports clothing. I believe there's possibility in the marketplace for him to get a foothold on that market. He could sit around and talk about it, like us, but he's not, he's working on making that happen, one step at a time. That's what is wrong with gaining attention for a product. People think you have to start as a Billion dollar corporation. You don't. First you take a step, then another, and another. Today, tee shirts, tomorrow, footballs. ok? Now flame me all you want. I'm in and staying. If you're not, don't. It's your choice. But I don't deserve your attacks for standing for what I believe in. Leave me out of your petty thinking. Blackie
