SUBWAY did NOT KNOW that guy was a CHILD MOLESTER! And Hertz didn’t have OJ ads on after the murders! Come on, man.
We, you uncovered two points, one of which I was trying to make. My point is that a corporation associated with corrupt individuals that can be associated with the company before, during or after their "crimes" never significantly effects the company, just as this trans kid won't have any significantly significant effect on long term bud lite sales.
Your point is more to whether the company knowingly employs a substandard spokesperson, and yes in that case AB's person knew what they were doing and sending a leftist message or making a woke statement.
Times have changed over the decades, corporations becoming woke in their strategies has only become militant in perhaps the last decade.
