Advertisements on 100% RAW

[bigarm19]

As of lately,I have been noticing our advertisers. Some thing I should have done sooner. Feeling the Federation may support them, if they do indeed sell products that we could be interested in. Since they are on our web page. Much to my surprise, I have found two sights I do not agree with. I feel they have no place in our Federation. I do not know if the web master has control over this or not. I feel NOT. If they don't. I feel, us as a community of responsible adults need to police the advertisers. Let all of us through a special section or some thing to that order. That we as Federation members both young and old can go to and tell of our experiences with the product. Mostly to report to others that this particular advertiser is not supported by the Federation, do to certain details. I will give some examples.
Apts Pro wrist wraps, Buy Real hardcore stacks, Power lifting supergear. I feel two out of the three DO NOT belong. ESPECIALLY the second. The younger lifters may feel if we advertise it, it must be legal. Please do not bring common sense into this when were talking about teen agers and young adults. I have one of both. They are some of the dumbest smart people I know! I love them to death, but facts are facts. In the other direction I would like to write about APT Pro wraps and what a GREAT product they sell and were it fits into the federation. Yes I found a place for wrist wraps in this federation and recommend them for negative days and chains or band days. I now leave this up two the Boss and his staff to do some thing about this if they feel it needs to be done.

A disclaimer works for me personally. I know finances is what keeps this Federation going. I don't pretend to know all that goes on. Especially in the financial world of 100% RAW. I agree we need all the help we can get. A disclaimer could be an option. The APT company was only an example of a great product being advertised. I cant name them all. As I cant name all the ones I disagree with. The APT wraps are great!!! I will be using them the same way you do, as I'm sure hundreds of others do. I wrote a 500 + word letter commending APT and there products. I hit post and it disappeared!!!!! I know I have created a financial stumbling block. The thing is I'm only looking out for the youth. A watch dog so to speak. I feel if I say nothing, somebody will use the Steroids advertised. Fake or not there still steroids. I would hate to see a young lifter use this product and then sue the Federation for some reason or other. If we cant pick and choose who advertises on the sight then we are stuck in a pickle. We need the advertisers. We should keep them. If the only way is to keep all of them than that is the course we should take. Thats were we need the disclaimer. As I stated in my letter " I don't know if the web master has control over this or not. I feel not" I still feel as I also quoted we need to police the advertisers.Mostly to report to others that this particular advertiser is not supported by the Federation, do to certain details. In the other direction I would like to write about APT Pro wraps and what a GREAT product they sell and were it fits into the federation. Yes I found a place for wrist wraps in this federation and recommend them for negative days and chains or band days.
Or another avenue I could take is say nothing and do nothing. Just to leave it up to the board to make all the decisions with out any input from its members. I feel this is opposite from what I was told by the board.
