As an aside, I find it odd that VISA and Timmy's both sponsor the NHL but I can't use my VISA to buy stuff and Timmy's. Did someone not read 'Synergy for Dummies'?

If people can't be bothered to boycott companies that employ child labour I don't believe for a second they will boycott over hockey.

I have this ready for tomorrow's ramblings. Great idea, and I think 'boycott' may be too tough, completely. But even 'dialing your business down' with these companies, if a lot of people do it, will make an impact.

I hear where you're coming from morally, but people support what they support. And as sad as it may be, there are people who get more excited for sports than they do about life issues.

I can't wait to read tomorrow's edition. I agree, complete boycott is unlikely. At least people know who to target. ;-)
