Whoops? Athletes backing the wrong shoe company

Tracy McGrady and Kevin Garnett may have backed the wrong shoe company. In a recent case, the Supreme Court of California has decided that California may enforce its ban on the importation of kangaroo products - including the hide that is used to make Adidas shoes. The United States Government is not even banning the importation, as kangaroo is not an endangered species. Nor does Australia ban the export of kangaroo product. Only California.

Being from Texas, where the use of exotic skins and hides to produce a variety of wearing apparel is a time-honored tradition, I have a hard time understanding California's position. But, maybe somebody can explain it to me.
