Ban Hand Stitched Soccer Balls!

Join Voidland's quest to have all hand stitched soccer balls banned.

Here is a draft of our proposed resolution :

The world governing body of soccer requires soccer balls to be hand stitched which leads to child labor in soccer ball manufacturing plants. By passing a resolution banning the trade of hand stitched soccer balls, we will reduce demand for child labor and bring some of the peace and love back into the game of soccer and its commercialization.

Please support our quest! Endorsements welcome!

Child labor, having been banned by an existing Resolution, is not a concern.

Alas, this rather guts the thrust of your Proposal.

there are machine made ones and if hand stitched ones were in demand I'm sure you could just have the countrys that want them create them selves with their own decent paid adult workers

Hand-stitched footballs are far higher quality. Voidstan's proposal would only have the effect of keeping poor underdeveloped countries poor and underdeveloped.

The Grand Duchy of YGSM regards this proposal as a moral outrage!
