Thanks for doing the research. I don't have the same concerns about this being a bad move by RSL anymore.

I'm a bit of an activist against quackery. When I see people charging money for something marketed as if it provides medicinal benefits, my blood boils. People avoid validated treatments in order to seek unsubstantiated 'natural' treatments, waste money and time (sometimes, time to start treatment is critical to possible success). Such tactics prey on people's ignorance and is ethically pathetic. When such things are done only to one's self, I am annoyed, but not angered (it is, after all, their money and their body). When such things are done to a person's children or others in dependent care I'm hopping mad.

Has anyone actually tasted xango? I've never even seen it, but i would at least try it.

I thought I'd try it too, until I saw that one bottle costs like $40

And I like this quote:

I love how shady companies try to get legislators in their back pocket (like tobacco lobbyists)

you are getting pretty carried away with xango. so what if they are this terrible company, THEY ARE PAYING US OVER 3 MILLION DOLLARS TO THROW THEIR NAME ON OUR JERSEY. i could care less if they are gone in 5 years and are considered the most unethical company on earth, as long as their check cashes. money is money and this is about as free as it gets in the business market.

this is a good deal for RSL, that is all that matters, who gives a **** about xango.

Until they've (the FDA) has proved that Xango, as a company, participated in the distribution of misinformation despite posted policies that say otherwise (perhaps much like big tobacco), we should presume they are innocent.

I understand that some people tend to feel that all big businesses should be watched and controlled, and if left unchecked will abuse consumers for the almighty dollar. I respect that, but don't share the same view. I don't think that makes me stupid, or naive. Remember, innocent until proven guilty. Xango has stated that they are innocent, and has given good reasons for why they are innocent. I'll believe them until someone can prove otherwise.

I tried Xango once...a student of mine became a "distributor" and to show that I was a supportive instructor I purchased a bottle. It was expensive, tasted good. I'm not sure if I noted any significant health improvements, but it didn't kill me. I also only drank one bottle, I'm sure that for any health benefits, you'd probably have to drink regularly. I've heard that you get a lot (not all) of the same health benefits from Pomegranite juice.

It looks like they are on a game show.

I dont know....I feel like a cheap whore the morning after..... but RSL has to live with this one for a lot longer...

I actually don't mind the XANGO across the front. At least it sounds exotic, at least it's not Deseret First Credit Union or IHC Health Care.

I just don't like the way our uniforms look, Xango or no Xango. I like the combination of the colors red, yellow, and blue but we just haven't had a good looking jersey.

2005's was a brighter red which I liked better, but I don't really like the blue sleeves anymore, I hate the blue swirley lines that run through the shirt and the red swirley lines that run down the short, and I still loathe the way the neck is cut leaving that damn gap in the very front.

I still have never purchased an RSL jersey and I won't until they come out with one that looks better.
