Cleveland Businessman Allan Jones Pulls NFL Ads After National Anthem Snub
http://www.chattanoogan.com ^ | Sept 27, 2017

Cleveland businessman Allan Jones has instructed his advertising firm to halt commercials during NFL games after the Tennessee Titans and other teams snubbed the National Anthem.

He instructed an official of the Tombras group, "Effective immediately, please remove all commercials for Check into Cash, Buy Here Pay Here USA, or U.S. Money Shops from airing during NFL games this entire season.

"Our companies will not condone in any form the unpatriotic behavior demonstrated by the NFL."

"For the 29 states we operate in, this isn't much for them, but it's a lot for us. The Tombras group is our ad agency in Knoxville and our national media buyer for both TV and Radio. . . and don't look for Hardwick on the NFL either.

“When I see Colin Kaepernick lecturing the “oppressed” wearing a Fidel Castro T-shirt you realize the hypocrisy to this stupidity. I love America. They have the right to protest and I have the right to turn off the channel and place our ads elsewhere. The next time someone ask the public to finance a stadium this will have a very long term effect. These guys should really be the lead plaintiffs in the head injury cases-that's the only jury that will find sympathy!

“If you will research why Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner you will realize why I am upset about these NFL players protesting. They don’t even know what it is they are protesting.

“The flag was still standing. 200 English ships tried to take it down. They kept it up all night and it could only be seen when the bombs were bursting in the air. So many patriots gave their lives to keep the flag up - and now to have people protesting who don’t have a clue about any of this bothers me. “Please research Key’s motivation for writing his famous song and you will see why I’m upset that the protesters don’t have a clue. "Our companies will not condone unpatriotic behavior!

"TAKING A STAND... NOT A KNEE!"

The key part of that was this: “People will remember this the next time they ask for public financing of a stadium.”

Having a wallet that is more lean will make kneeling physically easier for those who want to do such.

The Clydesdales and other ads are pretty much the only reason we ever watch the SB anyway.

I am so happy someone put pussy hats on those guys. Every time we see a picture of one of the kneeling someone should put a pussy hat on them and make sure they see what is circulating

This is just the beginning. It should accelerate after Vegas:

Saw this on another Freep thread, and it deserves reposting:

How dare Cleveland businessman Allan Jones instruct his advertising firm to halt commercials during NFL games after the Tennessee Titans and other teams snubbed the National Anthem--

I should demand that he stop that because we all know all car salesperson are all depraved crooks that get you to buy a car at an inflated price and that, of course, means they commit acts of sexual perversion and domestic abuse besides cheating their customers of their hard earned cash. PLUS they probably murder anyone who oppose them. THEN they get real nasty--

Therefore, do not allow them to sell any automobile or any other physical product, including aluminum siding, dish soap, toaster ovens and/or hockey pucks. Not in public nor in private!

They should never be allowed to even ride a bicycle. That just invites other people to see their vile perversion--

Say, null-- Do I need to post... that sarcasm off html?

I wish I had the graphic arts skills to do that.

However, I “borrowed” this one and besides using it here, I sent it to relatives and friends in the SW.

Those still clinging to the Dallas Cowgirl Pussies got blasted with this mime by their relatives and friends.
