2010 Texas National Champions Gear goes to Haiti
Regardless of how altruistic you deem George Mitchell to be, he has agreed to donate 14,000 shirts and hats to earthquake ravaged Haiti. Mr. Mitchell is the University Co-op president who, on a gamble, printed shirts and hats bearing the Texas Longhorns as the BCS National Champions. Of course, when Colt McCoy went down, so did Mitchell’s profits and dreams.
In an effort to salvage his loss, he got in touch with Kids In Distressed Situations, Inc. to coordinate the shipment and distribution of the worthless merchandise. It is not uncommon for vendors to produce merchandise for teams that don’t actually win and generally these articles of clothing find their way to third world countries and disaster stricken areas.
I applaud Mr. Mitchell for donating the clothes to a country in dire need, but I ask him this, if Texas had won (and knowing he did not print Alabama merchandise), would he have made such a big donation to Haiti?
