Wearing green jerseys is exploiting dead guys. Ok. Are you ok with Jackie Robinson jerseys? He’s dead.

Well, making money on Support The Troops chintz isn't a crime, but I'd be willing to hear an argument for why it should be.

No, I'm not, because one key function of the uniform is to identify the player. How do I know who's pitching if everyone is wearing a nameless 42? If your argument is that I can tell by the overlays on TV or the Jumbotrons at the park, then why have uniforms at all? Why have your name and number on the back of your shirt when you can have an advertisement for Wintrust Bank? MONETIZE EVERYTHING!

We don’t need to pretend. Everyone is in it for the money. Every sponsor, every vendor, every player, every owner, every taxing body. The feel good stories are just to get you to spend more money. If you can’t find it at Binny’s then it’s probably not worth drinking. Gulp.

That's a lie. Lots of stuff not at Binny's is worth drinking.

Who's pretending? I think it's low rent. If you don't then, whatever, you do you but might I suggest that you don't waste your time trying to justify it to me.

It's always about money.

They aren’t saying the stuff they have is worth drinking. Rather they are saying the stuff they don’t carry isn’t worth drinking, probably.

If you don't pay for it at Binny's, it's definitely worth drinking!

What a cynical society we live in. Cubs jerseys with green lettering are exploiting our war heroes.

It's olive green meant to symbolize the military while publicly and expensively (the regular stuff ain't cheap; I imagine limited-edition promotional apparel costs even more) aligning its wearer with Supporting The Troops. What would have been wrong with wearing a patch or a ribbon, other than the lack of a military-dead-based revenue stream?

They’re exploiting alcoholics. So shameful what folks will do for a profit.

Someone should tell the alcoholics that in general, it probably isn't worth drinking.
