For events such as World Series, World Cup, Super Bowl etc
shirt vendors order large quantities of printed
merchandise with both teams. The loser brand merchandise
is donated for a charitable contribution and the
charitable contribution tax deduction. Hence the photo in
Africa. I learned about this only yesterday afternoon.


Was it on this group that someone pointed to an article on
the negative effects of such donations? I'm not sure. But
somewhere I read that an unintended consequence is the
killing of any cloth or clothing industries in the countries
that receive the donations.

Just goes to show that nothing is simple.

Somewhere I've got a photo of us with some folks in their
very remote eastern European village, the sort of place
that's sees almost no tourists and is difficult to even
drive to. One local guy is wearing an "I [heart] New York"
T-shirt.

I think the world must have been much more interesting
before it was so thoroughly westernized.


Absolutely. You are so wise.

When I was sewing and wearing dashikis in the late 1960s it
was eclectic and exotic. But an African wearing 'I ♥ NY' is
cultural appropriation.
