Article: Lance Armstrongs #28 Jersey sells out in one hour. Will they make more?

[SilentAssassin]

If you know anyone with cancer or had cancer or even god forbid have it yourself and donate any amount of money to LA or his charity you are complete and total FOOL! There are many more outstanding REAL charities that you could/can donate to.

Tell that to Jack and Jason Sir, and the people that ride for them:

Of course you couldn't, you don't have the courage and heart that these people have.

What's good about livestrong is that it's more than just fund raising, it get's you out there, and it gets you moving.

Agreed, it must be tough for those who experience cancer treatment without an adequate support group of family, friends, doctors, nurses, hospital staff etc

I t would be an admirable achievement if LiveStrong could replicate those services for those disadvantaged enough not to have them.

You're F'ing pathetic. Personally I rode for my Dad when he had Cancer every time that I rode, and I didn't need to give my money to a soul-less scumsucking corporate leech like Lance Douchestrong in order to do so.

Yeah, put a cute kid with cancer in a Livestrong yellow t-shirt and suddenly you're a Saint, but only in the eyes of the very simple.

Your post is frankly offensive and an insult to all of us who have helped our friends or family members through cancer. You are attempting to sell Corporate Bull$hit through guilt, when the simple reality is that there are many better cancer charities to give ones money to than Livestrong.

I wouldn't go near a 28, but I'd buy one of these. An Alpe original, if my memory is correct:



Best Lance jersey ever!

Great jersey. Now why exactly would a TDF champion and race favorite waste valuable energy chasing down a little known rider who is no threat to him on GC? Seems odd no? I mean someone please tell me what Simeoni did to raise Lance's ire? Did he insult his mother? Did he make fun of George Hincapie's varicose veins? What? It must have been something that upset one of Lance's core beliefs for him to keep any break with Simeoni in it from ever succeeding?

I will wait for the federal prison outfit jersey with Livestrong colored stripes to come out.

I had a crack at it for you BroDeal. What do you think?

Priceless.

And the message from Armstrong seemed clear: 'Me and the peloton don't like what you've said about Ferrari, and we won't let you forget it'.

Race leaders rarely need to chase down such attacks, and although stranger things have happened in cycling it still shed Armstrong in a curious light.

Simeoni, for one, wasn't happy: ''Armstrong today showed everyone the kind of champion he is,'' said the Italian, who has never implicated Armstrong in any evidence he has given about Ferrari.

''If he was truly a big champion, he wouldn't have to preoccupy himself with modest riders like me.''

When questioned, Armstrong later insisted: ''I was protecting the interests of the peloton. The other riders were very thankful,'' he said before hinting at his real motives.

''All he (Simeoni) wants to do is destroy cycling, destroy the sport that pays him.

''I can't say how many riders said thank you very much. """""

Can't say who at least.

Idiots. All of them.

If they knew anything of supply and demand then they should have known to control demand with an inflated price.

Brilliant strategy creating pent-up demand and poor price-point execution. Charge 3x more... gouge the fanbase as this may be one of the last real opportunities to do so.

After all, the proceeds benefit cancer victims, right?

Capitalist pig!...remind me to consult you the next time I sell something...on the down-low...

To many that watched the last day of the tour, the most memorable moment wasn't Contador winning the Tour, but it was the defiance and courage shown by the Team Radioshack team who dawned the infamous Livestrong #28 Jersey

That tells you everything you need to know about the "many", their knowledge of, and their appreciation for this sport.

Not sure if you deserve a response, but it's a lot more than that really. Whatever hate you have for Lance you gotta put that aside and realize that those are good people, and you really shouldn't belittle Jack. Call me all the names in the book, it don't matter, it just makes you look small, but don't belittle Jack's video my man, that's just real low. It's a lot more than just putting on a shirt.

It's people, complete strangers, coming together for a good cause. Don't make that out to be bad just because you want to make Lance look bad.

Thank you.

Have to admit though, someone else came up with the name Team Omerta, I just made the graphic.

 

[Archibald]

can someone please enlighten me as to what this has to do with "Professional Road Racing"?

jersey sales to benefit a has-been don't really qualify, do they?

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Good point.

I also think all that needed to be said in this thread has been said (and then some). The thread will now be closed.
