They are trying to attract a younger crowd.

They will fail. Baseball is too slow for the “yutes” of today.

I buy generic and have been doing so for a long time. Most of the time generic is cheaper unless there’s a huge clearance sale or plenty of coupons.

I’d love to participate in the MLB boycott, but I scrubbed the game off my list in 1994 when the whiners went on strike, insulted the replacements, and then refused to back the umpire strike. Drug cheater McGwire was one of the most vocal among them. That and steroids killed it for me. So I’ll be there in spirit.

That’s fine with me. I don’t use their products anyway.

He should support a small cola brand. Not Pepsi.

I don’t think boycotts work much in general. Maybe as an intimidation tactic but not so much as an economic one. However, Nike should be intimidated. They basically use slave labor to make $2 shoes and sell them for $300+ in the USA. It is immoral, unjust and frankly exposes the hypocrisy of and heaps shame onto the “narrative” makers. The Apples and Googles and others of the world would also be forced to take notice.

I did like RC Cola when I drank sodas. Was hard to get around here but they did have it for 50 cents in the vending machine outside our WalMart (which I also don’t really use, except for their pharmacy). Trump should support small American entrepreneurs just as a matter of principle. Talk about “social media influencers”.

I remember when Snapple was a mid-size regional brand of ice tea. Then they started to advertise on Howard Stern and on Rush Limbaugh and it blew up into a massive company and got acquired for many billions of dollars. The same people who own RC Cola own Snapple.

The Delta Air Lines CEO should by fired immediately by the Delta Air Lines Board of Directors. Why? Delta has one big hub and that is Atlanta, Georgia. United Airlines has Miami, Chicago, San Francisco, Denver, Newark as major hubs....American has Miami, Dallas, Tulsa, Newark, New York, Chicago, Denver, Southwest has Dallas, all of Florida, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Chicago, San Antonio, Austin, Houston, New Orleans, Jet Blue & SpiritAir own Florida...too. Delta is in no position to mouth off about politics...they need to stick to the airline business. This Delta CEO has hurt their image badly...they will suffer as Lebron James has made the NBA suffer. MLB better wise up...too. Hanging in with the Biden/Harris/Democrat old age home ain’t cool!!! Wise up.....Delta, MLB & Coca Cola!!!..The MLB better return the All Star Game to Atlanta for all the clear and obvious good reasons!!!

If DeSantis had proven himself by 2016 I would have voted for him then.

I am willing to bet serious money that the Woka-Cola company requires a photo ID (i.e., a driver's license) to drive for them.

I am willing to bet serious money that the CEO of Woka-Cola requires his body guards to have a photo ID (i.e., a concealed carry permit) to work for him.

I am willing to bet serious money that Delta Airlines requires a photo ID to fly aboard one of their planes.

Any takers? I thought not.

Delta should start a “Blacks fly free” program. Coca Cola should start an ad campaign, “Coke...for the woke”

Never cared much for any of them.

"I get the call, but do these ever work?"

It can't hurt and might make conservatives feel a bit better. But I don't see much evidence they work. I tracked Target and Nike stock and they saw no penalty for their stands. Their stock has roared over the last three years ... above the average market I might add.

The problem is the liberal pandering is not confined to just a few companies. Basically all the major corporations with a few exceptions are in on it. It's a combination of cowardice to leftist pressure combined with their marketing guru's saying this is the future etc etc. Given educational indoctrination and major demographic changes they likely see leftists as their future base of customers.

However political winds are constantly shifting and even if leftists consolidate their power and control there will be squabbles amongst their groups. These corporations will struggle to choose which special interest to support and will someday wish they had just stayed out of politics.

That’ll be easy. I don’t watch sports. I don’t drink Coke, and I have no need to ever get on an airplane again.
