The National Rifle Association is targeting YETI after the Texas-based maker of high-dollar cups and coolers dropped its sponsorship of the Friends of NRA Foundation Banquet and Auction events around the country, according to an alert issued by NRA Florida lobbyist Marion Hammer today. The YETI coolers “have been a hot item for sportsmen” at the events for years, according to Hammer’s alert.
“Suddenly, without prior notice, YETI has declined to do business with The NRA Foundation saying they no longer wish to be an NRA vendor, and refused to say why. They will only say they will no longer sell products to The NRA Foundation. That certainly isn’t sportsmanlike. In fact, YETI should be ashamed. They have declined to continue helping America’s young people enjoy outdoor recreational activities. These activities enable them to appreciate America and enjoy our natural resources with wholesome and healthy outdoor recreational and educational programs,” the alert reads. “In this day and age, information is power. We thought you needed this information.”
The NRA Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, charitable organization, according to the alert, which also includes a link to YETI’s online contact service/.
From a distance the font on the Salt Life logo reads Slut Life.
Me email to the tards in Austin
“.............
I’m very disapppointed in your decision regarding the NRA
I OWN SEVEN OF YOUR COLSTERS
ONE OF YOUR 8 PACK HOPPERS
TWO RAMBLERS
AND A LARGE ROADIE
PLUS APPAREL STUFF MY FIVE KIDS PICK UP FROM TIME TO TIME
do you know your market, I don’t think so
Leftists rarely buy your stuff except maybe some old growth weepers from time to time
Go on any big sports fisherman or a deer camp or road crew with a budget
That’s your market and it ain’t San Francisco
The left wants to ban guns because it fears those of us with them because as long as we’re armed we can resist their mindless attempts to impose their politically correct will on us
And you just chose sides
And it’s not the side that buys your rather pricey but well made product
So I’m out....you’re not the only choice
No balls
I mean if Fed Ex and the Pillow Man can hang tough why can’t you?
Austin Texas which I visited two weeks ago is lovely but it’s not America ...not by a long shot
You don't camp in warm weather, miles from a convenience store much do you?
That said, the only Yeti cooler I have was a raffle prize. It is boldly embossed "Friends of NRA" on the lid.
Ozark makes a similar line of products for much less money — available at Walmart

“We don’t just sell outdoor gear… we use it”.
I use their stuff — it’s well made.
Ain’t that the truth. I can’t believe the number of snowflakes I see going around wearing “Yeti” ball caps and T-shirts. It’s a friggin’ ice chest for crying out loud. “Yeti” bumper stickers on cars is how I identify the severely retarded living among us.
And I have taken the time to tell them why, also.
Chinese-made crap anyway.
Overpriced, ineffective.
The only think I really used was the 20 ounce cup.
No more.
And here I thought Yeti was a myth, much like his North American cousin, the Sasquatch.
“I just bought a second Yeti travel coffee cup last week.”
I would think one week is well within the time to be able to return it. Tell them you tried to use it but it smelled like Hillary — cabbage, farts, and urine.
And the boycott list grows ever
longer...
It would be awesome...awesome!....if David Camera Hogg got an endorsement deal with Yeti.
“I’m not always an obnoxious little prick, but when I am...which is almost all the time...I’m an obnoxious little prick with a Yeti!”
I see lots of sporting goods stores quit stocking their items.
I need to find a sasquatch brand cooler.
“I’ve never understood all the pickups I see with Yeti stickers on the windows. Really? Brand loyalty to a frikkin’ cooler?”
because buying a sticker and pretending you have a yeti cooler is MUCH cheaper than actually BUYING a yeti cooler?
I guess they are counting on every gang banger in the ‘hood with a gun is going out to buy a Yeti.
Cabela’s makes similar products that are half the price.
Mavericks styrofoam works just fine. Lol.
I have had good luck with Ozark Trail products. They work well and cost a fraction of Yeti price.
Ithey think it’s a “im rich and hip” mark. I always thought it was their sign of stupid. Same with guys talking at work about cooking on their green egg. Dumb. If I can’t cook on a Webber how is using a $1000 grill going to make me awesome. Can’t rationalize it but that’s just me. Now yeti booting the NRA, the dumb over payers I know also own guns so again stupid. Just so much stupid going on. I can only hope it’s terminal but I think not.
