Guest Post: MCPS supports the French Olympic team!

Yes you read that right!

By buying its turf at full price through a noncompetitive process, the MCPS [Montgomery County Public School] is supporting the French Olympic team as it competes against our American athletes.

Fieldturf is 100% wholly-owned by a French conglomerate called Tarkett and Tarkett is a very big supporter of the French Olympic team.  Don't take my word for it though - see here:

and this: http://www.tarkett.com/group/en/company/olympics 

Tarkett pays BIG bucks to be an official partner of the French Olympic team and to use the Olympic ring logo.  See this link too: http://franceolympique.com/art/144-partenaires.html

This is a fact.  When you buy a field from Fieldturf Tarkett (100% French owned) you are unwittingly supporting a foreign enterprise and the French Olympic team. There are many 100% American owned synthetic turf manufacturers and suppliers...


Everyone in Montgomery County should be so proud that their public tax dollars are being used to support French athletes!
