Make Sure Your NFL Flags Are Made in the USA
You cannot have a football game without NFL flags.
To do otherwise will be decidedly un-American!
Okay, never mind that these things are possibly made in China.
Hey, what’s more American than having other people do your stuff for you?
So NFL flags are probably produced in China.
Hey, it’s cheap and good enough for the Sunday game.
Who cares?
Sports goes beyond politics, right?
Truth be told, those “old-economy” jobs are simply never coming back to the United States – or any other advanced industrialized nation, for that matter.
Naturally, who wants to make a living making NFL flags?
Not the Chinese.
No, really!
Even they don’t really want to do this kind of work forever.
In fact, the authorities over there are already trying hard to steer their economy away from making low-value stuff like flags, shoes, and other simple things.
Indeed, haven’t you discovered that a lot of your apparel is coming from places like Bangladesh, the Dominican Republic, and even Mauritania?
No joke!
That’s just how things are.
It’s called capitalism.
Businesses will do whatever they can for the money.
And it simply doesn’t make cents – as in dollars and cents – to have American workers, with their lifestyle (as lowered as it is in the 21st Century, to be sure) and needs, making low-value products.
Of course, you can still find companies here in the States making these products, but then you are going to have to pay a premium price for them – which, needless to say, many a patriot does basically on principle alone.
And so the “Made in USA” label is a proud marker that businesses are eager to display.
After all, what’s more American than free choice?
And so many a football fan will wave their American-made flags with delight, determining to literally put their money where their mouths are!
