I was going to sign, but them I saw this. Insult me and then ask for help. Great plan. (Yes, I know they thought they were funny. They weren't.) Also, when is the petition ending? Who are they delivering it to and when will any results from this be known? Is anyone actually going to check on this after they sign or will it be forgotten as soon as you sign it? And what are the alternatives? Cows? Let's save the kangaroos because they are the cute animals? Or the synthetic materials they propose that will make the price range out of the market they are selling these to? How will the factories making these materials affect the environment? Oh, enforce laws to make them clean up the waste they make. The price gets passed onto you. These shoes are already over $150. How much more will they cost then? More than people are willing to spend. How many of people that are signing this are buying these shoes or are even in the market for soccer shoes? Think about it - A bunch of people that already AREN'T buying your product say they aren't going to buy your product because of something you do. Not really going to have that much of an effect. Save the cows! Leave the not cute animals alone! /Okay, done being Debbie Downer.
Online petitions are usually pointless. Especially when you're talking about it affecting a large industry.
Despite the fact that usually petitions don't work, I signed this. I also signed for you-know-who riot to be released and I have no idea what came of that.
I'll be sure to sign this, even if it most likely won't affect the industry as a whole. EDIT: Read through quickly and signed.
