Basically just a commercial endorsement for a relatively minor product. It had a link entered inappropriately in the underwear outline in Undergarment that I removed. I haven't checked on other links. jaknouse 14:46, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep and clean up: Actually, although this isn't a global phenomenon yet, this is a much-discussed company with a highly notable rise -- both in terms of its unique marketing and the way it parlayed inside knowledge of athletes with success.  The company is now sponsoring major sport events, etc.  The present article doesn't quite advertise, either, so a link to one of the news program profiles, etc., would help.

 * Weak Keep. Cleanup.  This company is very well-known, and is highly respected as an innovator.  The products aren't just for sports, Special Forces and other military personnel swear by it (if you think running around in a cotton t-shirt would be bad for a two-hour football game, think of 3 days in Iraqi heat), and use it over regulation garb (their web page has a "tactical" section, for instance).  It's like deleting Gatorade, yeah there are similar sports drinks, but gatorade is above them all in consciousness. Terrapin 15:44, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep, fairly well known company/product. Rhymeless 03:40, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, after a severe rewrite to reduce perceived endorsement. -Joseph 18:03, 2004 Sep 8 (UTC)
