    LOU...Was wondering if you could ask 5dimes something

    Hey Lou,

    Was hoping if you could ask 5dimes why they discontinued their high school football lines and if they could bring them back.

    Thanks

    Several mainstream media articles criticizing 5D for it is probably the reason.

    I would imagine trying to maintain the integrity of high school sports would have something to do with it

    Yeah right. Tony at 5 Dimes ditched HS football out of a love for the purity of the game.

    Yeah agree with that.

    I guess Tony saw the heat around the issue and decided it was smart to back off for now.

    5Dimes management said there's not much to it - very little action was generated by those markets. The cost of labour alone made spreading them not worthwhile.

    I really believe that it is because of all the press they were getting.
