Livestrong Bracelets

Option 1

[Julien]

I hate Lance Armstrong.

[Keystone Phil]

I hate Lance Armstrong.

Because an American is winning Tour de France all the time? Is that why? Go cry me a river...

I answered No and I don't want one either. They have lost their meaning and it's now simply becoming a fashion.

Nobody likes a winner, in cycling. It's just not done in polite company. Indurain was never popular either.

Alright...I understand. I usually cheer for the underdog. I can't stand the Yankees in baseball because it seems like they always win (well not recently but in the past they just kept winning and winning...). I jumped to the conclusion that Julien didn't like him because he was an American because it's my guess that there are a good amount of Europeans that feel that way now.

A yellow bracelet that Lance Armstrong came out with.

Phil's right about it becoming a fad.

[??????????]

Option 4. EVERYONE around here is wearing those stupid things. Its popular now with all the hip hop dummmies. They where 'live strong' bracelets and precede to play gangbanging music. LoL

[qwerty]

They are the same color as do not resusitate bands, so you had better hope you don't go to the hospital wearing one!

[PBrunsel]

I don't have one and I won't wear one.

Mr. Armstrong has shown that he is a very selfish and cold person by leaving his wife to date Sheryl Crowe. It's dispicable and it makes my blood boil when ever I hear anything abour Armstrong.

I agree with Keystone, on both counts.

Also, we had a big controversy at our school because a group was selling "Partystrong" t-shirts; people felt they were making light of cancer. I never did find out what happened with that...

[Julien]

I don't dislike LA because he is an American. If I disliked Americans I wouldn't be on this site.

He is most likely on steroids, and PBrunsel is correct. His wife stood by him through cancer only to be gotten rid of as soon as Armstrong became rich and famous. He is, overall, a pretty bad guy.

I don't agree with him leaving his wife and all, but how can you say he is on steroids? He's passed every test.

Guilty until proven innocent over there. The man has NEVER failed a drug test, yet because he is better than Ullrich, Beloki, and the other top riders, he uses steroids. Admit it, an American has defeated the best Europe can offer for the past six years, get over it.

A television station here did a report on him. They followed his assisstants car from Armstrong's hotel. The assisstant traveled for over an hour until she came to a road-side garbage can. She dumped a black garbage bag in the trash can, then went back to Armstrong's hotel. The reporters looked in the bag, and found syringes.

I happen to like Greg Lemond, the American who won the Tour de France twice, very much. He is still a hero here.

What the hell's a livestrong bracelet?

[TheWildCard]

Found one on my doorstep the other day so I have one but I won't be wearing it.

[Akno21]

I don't neccessarily like Lance Armstrong (I do respect him), but the bracelets are neat, and my dollar partly went to cancer research.

The reason they are doing so well is Nike didn't put their logo on them even though they made them- in a Chinese sweatshop.

[Hitchabrut]

NO and I don't intend to get one. I'd rather donate money the old-fashioned way than participate in some stupid fashion trend. The hype over it was highest in October, and now most people where I live don't wear them anymore.

My friend actually got a Bush-Cheney Livestrong-style (blue-colored) bracelet off E-bay, but I wasn't spending $14 on something that shipped on November 1.

[Alcon]

Unfortunately, they look a ton like DNR bracelets at some hospitals.

I saw those. They were selling for $10 at my polling place, they had Kerry and Bush. I wasn't paying $10 for that.

But then Ullrich, Virenque etc are dopers too. Quite frankly nobody cares too much.
"Guilty until proven innocent" is just a question of how you define "innocent".
Recovering from cancer meant that for several years Armstrong (and other athletes before and after him, in other fields as well) could legally use some drugs illegal to others, and could not be properly tested for some other illegal drugs.
His team refused to remove a proven guilty doper from the squad for the last Tour.
He continues to be associated with a doctor that everybody knows is a big doping advocate.

Many major cyclists, Ullrich for example, have a doctor's certificate that they are asthmatics, and may therefore use certain drugs illegal to others. Nobody I've spoken to believes that any of these guys are really asthmatics.

I suggest that you guys look to where most of the money for those things goes.
