Chick-fil-A apologizes for 5-year-old 'Back the Blue' photo Image triggering criticism even though picture was for local sports team

Chick-fil-A is in the hot seat again, this time because of a viral image of an employee wearing a "Back the Blue" shirt.

But the photo was from years ago and had nothing to do with the current protests against the death of a black man in police custody.

In fact, the post was meant to promote a local athletic team.

The Deseret News reported the image has been used as a trigger for those who claim the company is "racist."

"What I have come to understand is that they are tired of the violence, abuse and injustice. They are tired, because no amount of kneeling or marching seems to truly address what has ailed our country for generations: A controverted view of race, which is sometimes overt and sometimes subtle but always destructive," he said.

Disappointing to say the least. As long as systemic corporate dumbassery continues things will spiral down. Lots of letters from corporations and organizations flying around addressing "THEY" continues to widen the divide and does nothing to "heal" whatever. Special treatment is NOT equal treatment.

I wondered the other day if they would have to change their ‘perceived’ white supremacist name. CRACKER barrel. I.e. It’s for white folks to eat at and have clan meetings. Some even had a shotgun over the fireplace. Frickin’ absurd. Dude. Where is my country? A couple million (maybe) are causing tens of millions to knuckle under?

It is finally safe to say that their food is unappetizing.

Never give in. It shows weakness. It also results in more attacks.

Use Rules for Radicals Rule 7, “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”

If the the target never responds, the radicals will seem weak and have no power. They will find a more responsive target. Quinn uses this rule when people come after his show.

They should not have even commented on such trivial BS.

They are appeasing terrorists to keep their restaurants and people from being attacked.

This will go either of two ways. One way is it will become so overblown that people will start to realize it is ridiculous. The other is that it keeps going and then we are in a lot of trouble. Maybe we will be forced to sign White privilege forms before we get hired. One day maybe we will be shot in the head if we don’t kneel.

The way to avoid the second one is to hit back before it happens.

I intend to show up wherever they are painting black lives matter on a street on Staten island where I live. I would shoot to Columbus circle if they tried to deface the statue. We have to start acting.

the good thing about our Columbus statue is it is 75 ft tall and weighs a tremendous amount. But they could still deface it

De Blasio backed off taking it down after we Italians bombarded him with calls and emails.

My email drew the fine line between saying I would protest and hinting at more.

We got to start swinging guys

Where the hell does this end! Everybody are cowards thinking they’ll be sued — putting money ahead of their “supposed” Christian values. It’s disgusting.
