o.k. Duke, you are quite hard to learn....
Have you ever heard of "united we are stronger"? or "Alone, you only have one tiny little stone, but together we can build a mountain..."
As you know I am from Holland. Well, we have our problems too, but whenever we need to stick together as a country UNITED we will be united. Have you ever seen the Olympic Games or a global sports competition, for example football (I assume you call it soccer in the States)?
When our country is playing, where ever in the world, all the Dutch will be wearing orange, which is our national color. The whole stadium will be orange, the streets, the airports everywhere you will recognize the Dutch because they will ALL be wearing orange. This is to support our countrymen / sportsmen who are REPRESENTING our country.
What you are doing Duke, is the same as if you would be asking the Dutch people to not wear orange, because you don't like the clothing brand.
It is NOT about the clothing brand (and it's not about who organized the competition), it's about supporting your countryman who is an EXAMPLE to the rest of the world. He is REPRESENTING your country in a global competition, which will be seen by people all over the world. He is doing this in a great way and you should be proud of him.
