If you are super keen on the boycott then remember they haven't spun off their businesses yet, they need #buyers first. And not to be Negative Nancy, but there's not really a way to know if it's down to public pressure, or actual accounting reasons, eg Giro and Blackburn have a load of debt on their books, so if Vista sells the company they get rid of the debt and (for example) post the removal of debt as profit in their annual accounts.

Almost looks like consumer pressure can have a measurable effect, no?
