but instead its just capitalism a la doushebags

SHAME ON YOU PROFITEERING

If it had been somebody here we wouldn’t hear the clucking of tongues.

At those prices it’s not like they’re making a ton, either.

People put their loved ones’ death notices on their car rear windows all the time (no matter how ridiculous and temporary that may be); I don’t see too much wrong with people wanting something like this to commemorate Nick’s death, especially considering how slow the organization has been to deal with this.

This dude Chuck is providing something of value in the marketplace. He’s pretty clearly in violation of MLB licensing rules, I would imagine, but other than that, I don’t have a problem with him selling this stuff. Now, if he were to donate a portion of the profits to MADD then I would be happier, but really, in the cosmic scheme of thing, this guy doesn’t even come close to Madoff territory.

Are you guys mad because the company making the shirts is going to make a profit, and that profit will not be shared with the Adenhart family?
Does this Chuck you speak of own the company making the tshirts?
Did Chuck design the shirts?
Did Chuck piss on your front door then shit on your couch?

I was at church today and when I got home Chuck explained to me that some folks are making untrue accusations about the shirts so even though I feel no need to answer to a bunch of strangers I came to clear Chuck Richter’s name.

I am a fan of the team and was saddened by Nick’s death. I know that MLB does not allow the purchase of any Adenhart gear because he is technically retired. I only offered these shirts to my fellow message board posters at cost if they thought it was a fitting tribute to Nick. I was going to only make 5 or 6 for friends and family but the more Angel fans I know I told the more said they would like one as well. There are no copyrighted images, just a similar font to ours and a halo from the website I used to designs clipart gallery. As for the cost here is the exact total from the website…..

100 x $10.95 each = $1,095.00 total

FREE 2-week delivery to me, less than 5 dollars a piece for me to then ship to buyers

I have made these because I am a big and tall fan and IF the team makes any Adenhart tribute shirts they will not carry my size (6x). I heard that there was some comments put on here after Rex and Hud mentioned our board on TV and it seems that this hate might be stemming from that event.

I am shocked and appalled that people would think I would want to make money off of a tragedy such as Nick’s death. But Chuck didn’t even order a shirt so please quit assuming that Chuck or Angelswin is being unscrupulous or that I have any intention other than providing a few Angels fans with a reasonably priced shirt to pay tribute to a young talent at NO profit to myself or anyone associated with Angelswin

Thanks and God Bless

but this was not their doing, just a member of the site, and that member’s intentions were good, just not entirely well thought out.

Just an FYI, the thread was already taken down from AngelsWin.com.
