Kalapse Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Ya, but everybody stole it from the original breast cancer wrist bands which includes lance Armstrong, who did not come up with the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I echo everyone else. As long as it's for a good cause, good for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 yeah, but the Sox were classy enough to mention "charity" on their wristband, and I believe the Cubs just have "believe" and the Cubs logo on it... it's always about them!

Buehrle>Wood Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I heard they are giving them to their own scalpers who then go out on the street and sell them for 20$. The whole "for a good cause" thing is kind of lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
