Forums - General - New Balance only recognizes 49 states.

Maybe it's cuz they are doing business in Arizona.



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

You may very well be jumping to conclusions here. Like the poster above me said, different states have different laws on these contest things. Often i'll see promotions or contests that say "Offer not good in X" (very often Florida, i've noticed), but this doesn't necessarily have anything to do with that particular Arizona law, just other laws that would make dealing in the state troublesome

 

The rest of the language is just that.


This is possible, but the wording is suspect. Saying "The 49 states of the US" imply there are only 49 states. They also list Arizona with the territories, and ended that sentence with "and all other U.S. Territories" implying Arizona is a territory.

Its just wonky wording, lumping Arizona in with the Unincorporated Territories as ineligible US holdings, and they couldn't legally say the 50 states, otherwise Arizona would be in. Perhaps saying "the 49 eligible states" would have worked.

I usually see it something like "The US states excluding Arizona". I have never seen it worded the way it's worded above, but you could be right. It could just be wonky wording.



Yea I think it is just poor choice of wording but not implying much of anything.  This is one of those things, that you probably shouldn't read too much into it.  

But I like new balance haha.  I get my shoes from them.  Glad they still do business here haha.

I once was asked by a charity if I could donate some money. After blabbing on for about 10 minutes I thought it was a worthy cause and said yeah why not. They then asked me if I was over 21 years of age. At that point I wasn't.

Now in Australia 18 is when you're legally an adult as in alchohol, smoking, voting everything. You can do anything an adult can legally do because you ARE AN ADULT. When I informed him that, he said it was because it was an international charity.

I was very pissed about being excluded considering the laws of the soveriegn country I'm a citizen of...

I told him that in the future he shouln't WASTE my time and ask it outright and that I would never be giving money to his charity ever, until that is changed.

Just rediculous.

EDIT I know its not directly related, but silly rules are silly thats all I'm saying.



You mean I can't declare Alaska not a state?

My day is ruined.
