In reply to IainRUK:
While I get the idea, all big sports companies sponsor people/clubs with a dubious moral standing, I personally buy very little kit from any of them, 5.10 on the other hand is a company that do make products I'm interested in...
That said I have no idea of the parent companies behind some of my kit, maybe moon is owned by Nike, Rab? Next time I'm thinking about buying something, maybe I'll look into it.
And if enough pressure is put on Adidas now, maybe there's enough of a will at the moment to drive a change in the attitudes of sponsors, maybe not. Maybe sponsorship pressure will be enough to improve the behaviour of athletes and consequently fans, it seems like it's worth a shot anyway.
While I will avoid knowingly using companies that sponsor Sheffield United, I'm not perfect, I won't be able to vet every company I buy groceries/christmas presents from.
Also it would be great to see all criminals convicted of their crimes and given fitting punishments - or just not be criminals in the first place - until the conviction rate is improved, we have to give the unconvicted thugs the benefit of the doubt...
