Defending Goya Foods, UFC’s Jorge Masvidal Fights The “Woke Mob”
Forbes ^ | 11 July 2020 | Seth Cohen

Posted on 07/11/2020 4:32:27 PM PDT by DUMBGRUNT

... While doing so, the CEO also heaped praise on the President. “We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder,” Unanue said. “And so we have an incredible builder. And we pray. We pray for our leadership, our president, and we pray for our country, that we will continue to prosper and to grow.”

...on Saturday, Masvidol expressed support for Goya Foods, taking aim at the those calling for the boycott of the Spanish foods company and linking to a story about Goya donating a million pounds of food to at the time of 2018’s deadly Hurricane Maria that devastated Puerto Rico.

“Actions of @GoyaFoods speak louder than the #woke mob. My people don’t get influenced by those that don’t know. They’ve been helping our people when we needed it most.”

By stepping into the political arena and criticizing the “woke mob,” a derisive term used by many to describe those calling for boycotts or other social justice related actions, Masvidal has found himself as an ambassador for another kind of fight, one that can be as fierce as mixed martial arts. While it is obvious that Masvidal's perspective on Goya is grounded in both his heritage and his experience, it might be that its his popularity that makes his arguments in favor of the food company even more effective.

Hopefully. So much for “inclusiveness” and “diversity.” What pure unadulterated crap. It’s all about control and power, nothing else.

The CEO has already told his critics to pound sand. He met with the Obamas too. Didn’t see anyone from our side calling for a boycott then.

The called for Democrat Party, AOC/Julian Castro, Boycott of Goya Foods has failed miserably before it even has a chance to begin. Consider the source!!! Case closed!!!

I bought 4 cans of Goya Tomato Sauce today at my local supermarket. It was the same price as Hunt’s.

I'll never give up buying GOYA. Their ham bouillon for my pea soup is awesome.

hey thanks for the reminder. I am ordering groceries tonight. I don’t think I have bought Goya ever in my life.

That’s a first time for everything

We certainly purchased many Goya products yesterday and again today.

Goya, the new Chik-fil-A.

One thing about people of Spanish, Italian, or French descent is that when it come to food their standards are pretty high. Been a Goya fan for 30 years.

I went grocery shopping this morning. I made it a point to by some Goya products and will continue. Weirdos won’t change a thing. People will continue to buy Goya, just watch.

I remember that and had no problem with him being complimentary to the president AT the WH. It’s what you do when you are invited.

I bought two cans of Goya refried beans this afternoon. It isn't a TexMex brand, more oriented towards Caribbean Hispanics, but most of the old line Southwestern products like Pace and Old El Paso are owned by conglomerates run by liberal executives.

Masvidal is also a Trump fan, and has mentioned him several times. Trump was cageside when Masvidal beat Nate Diaz to win the “Baddest Mother F-——” title, and Jorge wore a TRUMP mask to the weigh-ins yesterday.

Taking on Usman on one week notice is too much. I would pick Usman if Masvidal had a full training camp, but on short notice, he’s a huge underdog. I’ll still be pulling for him to pull off the upset.

I have used their Small Red Beans in my cooking for years, as well as other things. And you pull the tab to open their cans - Goya is ahead of other companies that you have to use a can opener to open a can.
