If you’re a Trump supporter or someone who backs the police and believes that “All Lives Matter,” Goodyear doesn’t want you as a customer.
The flailing tire company triggered a boycott after an internal “diversity training” presentation showed that Goodyear allows employees to wear Black Lives Matter and LGBT gear but bans MAGA attire or anything that’s pro-police or pro-every other race.
An anonymous employee leaked a photo of the slide, which was presented at Goodyear’s Topeka, Kansas factory. The slide was mandated by Goodyear’s corporate headquarters in Akron, Ohio.
Acceptable: Black Lives Matter and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender pride. Unacceptable: Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, MAGA attire, political-affiliated slogans. The anonymous employee who leaked the slide said Goodyear’s policy is discriminatory.
“If someone wants to wear a BLM shirt in here, then cool. I’m not going to get offended about it,” the employee told WIBW. “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. If we’re talking about equality, then it needs to be equality. If not, it’s discrimination.”

Goodbye Goodyear. Hello Cooper.
Let the 13 percent and the snowflakes rioter and looters who have no vehicles buy your tires. A t shirt is probably going to be your best and only seller, tires no. “MAJOR TIRE COMPANY GOES BROKE, SELLING T SHIRTS NOW” bye bye
And the herbivores formerly known as the Mercun Peepul will never hear about this.
Even if they did, they will still buy Goodyear products and services, because that’s what herbivores do.
Goodyear is already struggling.
There’s nothing quite like taking a hit of cyanide when you’re trying to survive.
Stupid does as stupid is.
Bye Goodyear. You’re going down as another loser in the annals of history.
We are Firestone customers. They have a store walking distance from house.
I guess they want to go out of business?
People say “boycott x” but conservatives are weak in standing up for their values compared to the deranged left, which is why corps fear to offend SJWs but will casually piss all over conservatives who they know will just suck it up and keep buying their products.
Like all BLM supporters, Good year is offensive to America
Now there’s two tire brands I don’t feel comfortable with: Goodyear and Kumho.
For a Good Year, buy Kumho.
Exactly right, conservatives can’t even shake their pathetic spectator sports addictions. They are told over and over again by the big leagues themselves, conservatives not welcome! What do those same conservatives do? They say Thank You Sir May I Have Another?
Well! Well! Well! Goodyear just crapped in its own lunch bucket. I suppose it is now time for Goodyear to take a lunch break.
At some point civil unrest generally turns in to piles of burning tires, but there’s got to be a better marketing strategy. (yeah, the sarcasm could’ve been better, but this stuff is really getting out of hand - maybe the B. Bee can work them over).
A boycott is not enough. Political discrimination by ordinary profit making businesses — which is almost entirely against conservatives — needs a legislative ban.
I’ve sold goods to GY.
They take 110 days to pay...
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company (GT) was trading at $9.73 per share at the close of the market yesterday. Most analysts rate the stock as overvalued. It pays no dividend, has no P/E ratio, and the earnings per share are negative.
Time to start shorting the stock and buying put options. With this kind of boneheaded management, you will be in the money in no time.
I don’t think I’ve ever bought a Goodyear tire.
