I know rebok isn't losing sleep over me not buying shoes from them LOL
Which is why company boycotts never work. Just look at how Fruit of the Loom didn't reopen its plant in Honduras--which it closed after it unionized--due to US and British colleges severing contracts they had with the company due to student pressure.
Oh, wait, sorry, they did in fact re-open the plant, hire all the workers back, compensate them, and gave them union rights as a result of the boycott. Silly me for getting that backward.
