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

[TheOldSchool]

The greasy loan shark that bought this failing suit company paid a measly $1.9 million. The NFL is resting easy tonight.

Look at the snowflakes focusing on the irrelevant.

What else can they do when 60% of America despises their position on this issue?

Call your bluff, that's what. It's a strategy that's been working wonders against Trump's policy goals so far. Go ahead, stop watching Football. Sucks for you.

 

[shockedcanadian]

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.​

Trump should tweet this, give him some great advertising for free and promote the decision.

God Bless Mr. Jones.

And the middle of America get's a deeper color of red. Your racist, uneducated, deplorable idiots and don't understand the awesomeness of hating your country!

So the democrat platform in 2020 is going to be...

Kneel during the anthem.
White people are racist.
Conservative women only vote because a man told them how to.
God is dead.
Abortion is caring.
Government knows better than you what you need in healthcare.
Communism isn't so bad.
Democratic socialism isn't like Venezuela, Seriously. Way different.
When it snows, rains, get's hot, get's cold, wind blows, wind doesn't blow or whatever it looks like outside is global warming. And the solution is your tax rates are too low.
Tax cuts make people poor.
The rich are killing you.
That guy that give you a job is a racist and ripping you off.
Only one kind of life matters, and you know if you aren't in that group.
Illegals are just like you.
Not wanting illegals here is racist. Of course everything is racist.
You're just too dumb to understand how all of the above is actually better for you.

Why do you think Jones did this? His company is failing, and a publicity stunt is probably the only way to keep the doors open through Christmas.

You have proof that his company is failing?

 

[tinydancer]

Odd how liberals absolutely have no problem setting out to target someone like Bill O'Reilly by assaulting his advertisers and get him removed off the air but mock a conservative effort to do the same.

Interesting. Typically hypocritical.

The conservative efforts are just so damn laughable. Remember when Starbucks cups weren't Christmassy enough a couple years ago?

So dumb.

Talk to Target.

"The swift and fierce blow-back from consumers against the company's liberal activism hit the company – hard. Business Insider reports:

The boycott cost the company millions in lost sales and added expenses. Shopper traffic and same-store sales started sliding for the first time in years after the blog post, and the company was forced to spend $20 million installing single-occupancy bathrooms in all its stores to give critics of the policy more privacy.

[...]

Sales fell nearly 6% in the three quarters after the post compared with the same period last year, and same-store sales have dropped every quarter since the post.

A petition rebuking Target's new policy was signed by over 1.4 million people, who accused the retail giant of putting women and children at risk in order to promote their liberal agenda.

The anti-Target movement gained even more momentum in large part due to corporate watchdog group 2ndVote. The conservative group launched an #AnywhereButTARGET campaign in November, asking conservatives to cast their second vote with their wallets by abstaining from the store."

They filed for bankruptcy and were purchased by a greasy loan shark for nothing. That doesn't scream success.

The suit company?

He bought it in bankruptcy a few years ago, for pennies (relatively). It's been failing for decades.

My son is at Walmart and he called me to ask me if I wanted something.

I told him to get soup, but not Campbell's Soup.

Eventually, these companies are going to notice.

But I may send them an email to speed up the process of them catching on that shitting on the American flag is bad for business.

Are you rubes boycotting these hundreds of stores too? Toys R Us files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, stores closing after holidays?


All closing in 2018. Note that Target is not in the article. Comparatively, a 6% loss is fantastic.

 

[deanrd]

I never heard of them either. Where did they advertise? Mayberry? Hooterville?

 

[tinydancer]

Conservatives are more than holding their own on boycotts.

#DumpKelloggs: Liberals: 1, Conservatives: 2

In late 2016, Kellogg’s decided to shoot itself in the foot by proactively cutting advertising ties with Breitbart over the values of the news agency failing to mirror the values of the cereal giant. In the fallout of the public relations war, however, it wasn’t Breitbart that was left licking its wounds.

While Breitbart was able to continue to get advertising from other sources, the company that profits off of sugary cereals fattening up America’s children came across as slightly out of touch with the values of its own consumer base.

While Kellogg’s denies that Breitbart’s Twitter campaign, #DumpKelloggs, has anything to do with its 53 million dollar loss in the fourth quarter of 2016, common sense says otherwise.

Scoring the Growing Absurdity of Political Boycotts: Liberals vs. Conservatives - OpsLens

Trump Brand Products Soar: Liberals: 1, Conservatives: 3

To be fair, I’m just going to lump all Trump products that have been boycotted by leftist groups since the election into one point on the scoreboard for conservatives. First it was Nordstrom, who discontinued the Ivanka Trump clothing line. Not long after, the First Daughter’s brand skyrocketed to the top of sales in several categories, to include the number one best-selling perfume on Amazon. Despite being the highest-priced women’s fragrance on the site’s top 20 list, it currently sits at number two in popularity. Meanwhile, Nordstrom’s stock figures spiked in early February but rebounded with higher than expected numbers this month.

Following the National Organization for Women’s Twitter campaign #StopTrumpWine, Trump Wine reportedly went from being fully stocked to sold out at all but two Wegmans grocery stores in the entire state of Virginia. Trump bought the vintage in 2011 and gave it to son Eric to manage. By the way, Trump hotels appear to be doing just fine, judging by the lack of stories to state otherwise.

Best of the Rest:

The Under Armour CEO publicly supported his president’s economic plans for the country before caving to the bullying effect of leftist media to avoid losing their roster of liberal celebrity athlete spokespeople. Advantage: Liberals

Following Target’s public statement in support of transgender bathroom sharing in June of last year, an American Family Association petition gathered over 1.5 million signatures in addition to Target’s stock crashing to the lowest levels since 2014. Since the political stunt, the company has lost an estimated $15 billion. Advantage: Conservatives

The Christian-friendly fast food chain already notorious for being closed on Sundays, Chick-Fil-A, had their best single day of sales ever after supporters rallied in the face of leftist calls to boycott the brand following their position on gay marriage going public. Even Huffington Post couldn’t avoid reporting on the fact that the boycott backfired, with one store notably having to close its doors early after running out of chicken. Advantage: Conservatives

Starbucks has been no stranger to political controversy. They’ve tried everything from removing Christmas from their cups during the holiday season to awkwardly implementing their Race Together campaign in which they urged their baristas to engage with customers on race relations when most people just wanted a cup of coffee. Then came President Trump’s refugee policies. Following a pledge to hire 10,000 refugees from terror-prone Middle Eastern countries, a Yougov BrandIndex survey showed that potential consumers of the brand dropped from 30% to just 24% while actual sales transactions dropped 2% nationwide. Advantage: Conservatives

 

[MaryL]

Funny blacks used to moralize about boycotting x y or z cause. Boycotting is GOOD, it cuts both ways. let's boycott the NFL or their sponsors. Put the shoe on the other foot, BOYCOTT the NFL and their sponsors.

 

[deanrd]

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

That's because you DON'T GET IT WHAT REAL AMERICANS THINK.

You live in a LIBERAL BUBBLE and NONE OF YOUR FAMILY OR FRIENDS ARE REAL AMERICANS.

How would a Russian stooge know what a REAL American thinks?

You mean where Blondy kills the three bandits and captures Tuco? A neighborhood now?

"Goddamn you all to hell".

 

[LeftofLeft]

Here's how it's going to work, the liberal media will do it's absolute best to pretend everything in fine and they will refuse to address stories about sponsors pulling out of the NFL until they are forced to do so. Idiots in the leaderless democrat party will remain silent and continue to lose elections.

Money is leaving the NFL which means it is leaving the networks that own the media. The media knows which hand feeds it. The side that is standing with the kneeling and spitting is not the money side.
