Cancel Goodyear

"'If someone wants to wear a BLM shirt in here, then cool. I'm not going to get offended about it. But at the same time, if someone's not going to be able to wear something that is politically based, even in the farthest stretch of the imagination, that's discriminatory,' said the employee under the agreement of anonymity due to fears they could lose their job. 'If we're talking about equality, then it needs to be equality. If not, it's discrimination.'" — WIBW News, Kansas

These little corporate wars in the political Social media space are so fucking petty.

Lets be real here, if you aren't buying Yokohama or Toyo, you're buying a shit tire. HTH

Have to say IDGAF. Goodyear is ultimately accountable to their shareholders. I don’t get in on the boycott stuff from either side. Trump is being an overreactive idiot here and is dead wrong IMO.

This. Here's the thing. Not allowing MAGA hats isn't illegal, and it's their right to do so. However, a good 70-80% of the purchases of their higher margin tires are purchased by conservative voters. So, it's a stupid business decision, but it's their right.

Outside of Trump's twat, the story is completely uninteresting.

You never criticize Trump or the GOP

Disagree. If Goodyear wants to be woke, then phuck them. Make it hurt even if it just having to deal with the push back. You can't concede the culture on "the little things". There are no little things to the left. Just ask Nick Sandmann.

Not allowing MAGA hats is okay. Allowing BLM hats and shirts and banning Blue Lives Matter hats and shirts is fucking unacceptable.

Had lots of Obama posters in our office. I'd agree with your MAGA point, but corporate America isn't going to equally enforce this.

Not my problem. His fault for choosing a private university with a bunch of liberal pussies as classmates. Change schools. He isn’t forced to be there.
