why does castro wear that adidas shirt?
11 Jan 2007, 02:25
Adidas is a German company, by the way. You cannot accuse Castro of being inconsistent because Cuba has trade and diplomatic contact with Germany.

From what I understand it is the uniform of the Cuban Olympic track & field team. They presented it to him.

Quote: What is so 90s sportswear ? if so you are wrong people still wear sportswear and I seen movies in the 70's and 80's people that wear sportswear. But now many of the people are wearing sweatpants and there is more of this now . 11 Jan 2007, 15:27
I've always thought this in addition: why do the DPRK wear adidas or Fila in sporting events?

Traditonaly lefty counties use Adidas. And infact nit only did they use to make the USSR's football shirts, but recently they have re-released them as 'retro' items. Which I deuly bought! Worker's of the world unite!

Because he needs the products of capitalism to live the lifestyle he wants. That man doesn't want to live in the same conditions as the people he governs; it's much easier to preach your hate against capitalism than to remove yourself from it.

Adidas is an official sponsor and supplier of the Olympic games/teams. Why should Cuba not accept free sportswear?

99% of what all of us wear are made by capitalists.. should we all send our clothes back?
12 Jan 2007, 02:51
Oh, and the bourgeoisie never took anything with them from the feudal society...
 12 Jan 2007, 03:28
Oh I don't know. A three-piece suit is definitely capitalist.

Did it occur to anyone that "why does castro wear that adidas shirt" has nothing to do with capitalism? It's funny how people basically created an argument out of this sentence when nothing was directly implied at all.
 EQUALITY! The first wish of nature, the first need of man, the first knot of all legitimate association!
