They take no direct subsidies from the government. They have a fucking budget. They have a lot of uniforms to buy. If American companies aren't specifically donating uniforms, why the fuck would anybody begrudge them trying to find the best deal to make the best use of their resources? Fuck these stupid assholes in Congress who think that they can score patriotism points on this bullshit. Fuck them right in their ears. Pass all the fucking laws you want, you don't have any sort of constitutional authority to tell the USOC where they can buy shit.

According to Judge Roberts they can tax them into it..

Their power to tax is pretty much unlimited.

People will see this for the cheap stunt it is, however.. It's insulting to the reader, to see them grandstanding like this.
