Snowballing quickly

Yup. Snowballs are indeed made out of snowflakes. Lots of them.

I am trying to boycott all sponsors, but it's a lot.

My VISA card would be very difficult to exchange because it's tied to my bank.

Proctor & Gamble makes so many brands of personal items I use it would be almost impossible to boycott them.

But I can boycott McDonald's where, until recently, I've been eating once or twice a day.

McDonald's once or twice a day?!? Don't boycott Lipitor.

I still think this entire controversy is an unbelievably stupid waste of time and energy.

It doesn't take much to excite and outrage, simplistic, weak minds.

A payday loan company? That's a con Trump should admire.

Trying to make the type of business the issue is what a scumbag would do.

Coming from you that's not surprising.

Payday loans?

The guy should be in jail, not advertising on the NFL

I will never buy another Hardwick suit!

They are trying to destroy the NFL...Bastards

Just remember......nearly every leftist snowflake is pushing to transform the USA into Venezuela....even if they don't realize it (surprising, huh?)
Escape from Venezuela: Colombia border crossing mobbed as starving citizens flee

Venezuela is what happens when good men do nothing to stop deranged, lunatic leftist lemmings.

The lawlessness......the human suffering.....the destruction of cultures....
It's all fun and games to them.

Watch all the snowflakes whine that this is fascism. It won't be long now until the owners ban players from taking the knee. However, I doubt you will ever see them admit it.

It Begins. Owner of Historic US Clothing Company Pulls Ads from NFL Games​

Allan Jones, CEO of Hardwick Clothing and Check Into Cash payday loan company, announced on Tuesday he is through with sponsoring the wardrobes and advertising on the NFL.

Hardwick Clothing is America’s oldest suit maker.

In his statement Jones said, “Our companies will not condone unpatriotic behavior!”

The Times Free Press reported:

Two years ago, Cleveland, Tenn., businessman Allan Jones was proudly showing off his newly acquired Hardwick Clothing-brand suits by providing the wardrobe for NBC’s on-air talent during the network’s broadcasts of NFL football games.

But after NFL players and coaches challenged President Donald Trump and many took a knee during the national anthem played before their games over the weekend, Jones said he is through sponsoring the wardrobes or advertising on stations that air the National Football League.

Jones, CEO of the payday lending chain Check Into Cash and owner of Hardwick Clothes — America’s oldest suit maker — tweeted his criticism and change of heart Tuesday.​

Our First Amendment is first, not second.

True. NFL was dieing without the help.

Not to split hairs, but it had already begun.

Consumers - FANS - influenced this company to pull those ads and support for the NFL. Had fans not begun protesting by the millions, burning their season tickets, burning their memorabilia, demanding refunds from Satellite TV for 'NFL ticket' they probably would have kept on with 'business as usual'. Seeing the fans begin to hit the NFL's 'bottom line' they wanted no part of that and stepped up, taking the side of consumers / fans.

Still, good for them. Thanks for the news!

[danielpalos]

do we need, daytime drama ads?

 

[easyt65]

Never heard of them. Don't stop though, cons everywhere are in great need of something to validate their beliefs.

Carry on half-soldier.

Validate what belief, exactly? Patriotism? Respect for this country / the national anthem?

A new poll shows 58% of Americans oppose the NFL's protest. Insulting America's beliefs are what partially helped Democrats lose over 1,000 elections, to include the Presidency recently. Please - keep it up. It has worked so well for you / Democrats.

;p

 

[rightwinger]

It is a tough decision to make....

Should I buy a Hardwick suit or watch an NFL game?

What time is kickoff?

Are you still shaming the Christian Isaac Newton?

Haha true. A sign of insanity is they keep trying the same thing over and over.

Yes, referring to the overpaid, uneducated players themselves who started all this...of course....agreed

I do as well, I’m not sure why players being paid millions of dollars a year to entertain think they are oppressed.

There lesson to others should be, if you work hard, practice and apply yourself everyday, set goals, you can make good in this country. At least their example of getting there has showed that.
