Like it has been said, due to the "suckiness" of their balls, Spalding needs to understand that their ball is inferior, if it were better then certainly it would be used more. Outside of little league rec, I have never seen them used, practice or otherwise, high school, college, or professional. Contracts can be made with them, great, but the can stipulate that the ball does not have to be used for soccer! Change the contract! It is great that you and Dick honor the contract and the HSL, but what is more important, them or the game and the kids playing it? Instead of putting up with crap how about fight for something better.
