soccerballs are made NOW with synthetic leather&#8230;but were originally made from full grain leather..PLUS the shoes in most sports is leather to some degree&#8230;
baseball? -all gloves are leather as is the baseball cover itself..
tennis/racquetball..the shoes/racquet handle is leather
football-the ball is pretty much called pigskin for a reason..and it has leather laces at times [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>think about it&#8230;</p>
<p>soccerballs are made NOW with synthetic leather&#8230;but were originally made from full grain leather..PLUS the shoes in most sports is leather to some degree&#8230;</p>
<p>baseball? -all gloves are leather as is the baseball cover itself..</p>
<p>tennis/racquetball..the shoes/racquet handle is leather</p>
<p>football-the ball is pretty much called pigskin for a reason..and it has leather laces at times as well. again don&#8217;t forget the shoes..<br />
 basketball- the best basketballs are made from leather and the shoes are as well&#8230;</p>
<p>golf? -leather handles on the clubs, golf shoes etc-possibly golf bag as well..</p>
<p>ok so pretty much EVERY sport needing shoes&#8230;is out</p>
<p>I guess I am going by the thought process of&#8230;did we kill the animal witha  face for sport?  if so..then the vegan who won&#8217;t even eat that animal..really cannot be a sports fan with the exception of those sports that promote the same &#8220;thoughtless&#8221; killing for sport&#8230;let alone eating..</p>
<p>am i wrong on this?<br />
bitter bats <img src='http://racquetballs.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  thank you&#8230;but you get my drift&#8230;</p>
<p>I am not looking for sports on ESPN Ocho..(as seen on the film Dodgeball- hehe)..I am talking about the major sports worldwide)-i didn&#8217;t bring up other sports like Rugby, Aussie Rules Football or Cricket&#8230;all of which I think have leather involved&#8230;<br />
so prodigy&#8230;you have NO problem PAYING money to watch the leather of a cow bound around a person&#8217;s hand..</p>
<p>how about if your own son wants to play baseball and you have to buy him a leather glove&#8230;now you ARE supporting the company that makes the glove from the leather that came from that dead animal&#8230;is my logic still flawed?</p>
<p>do vegetarians boycott Letterman for eating spare ribs right before introducing Morrissey? or his &#8220;cuts of meat&#8217; segment or his trip down to Rubens deli shop downstairs? </p>
<p>how far do you take your vegetarianism?</p>
