Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES - They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS. Get better tires for far less! (This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!).— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 19, 2020

If you look at the longterm (all) for Goodyear, they made a bunch of money during the Obama years, and soon as Trump came into office their stock has tanked.


Goodyear(GT) stock down 3.70%

Volume above average @ 7,963,022

Average volume 2,566,127

Stock gapped down at open.

You can also go to their corporate site and send them an email. I told them to enjoy the end of their company.

Thank you for the tip.

They restrict how many characters you can type, and as Freepers here who read my posts know...that was a hindrance for me, but here is what I said:

I understand that Goodyear publicly and openly supports Black Lives Matter. To compound this, you have made the utterance or discussion of "Blue Lives Matter" unacceptable. Black Lives Matter is an openly Marxist organization (as freely acknowledged publicly by its founders) and endeavors to defund the police, advocates violence against police and citizens, and illegally blocks roadways. I will never buy a Goodyear product again.

I did not mention the MAGA injunction, because I believe that political discussion should be excluded from workplace communications, just as I believe Black Lives Matter and ALL political discussion should be excluded from workplace discussion.

You might have pop-ups blocked, and it took mine about 15 seconds before it appeared.

Survey worked for me. I let them know they are on my no-buy list.

I was an inveterate Coca Cola consumer.

It was this ad that made me swear off them:

Doing a search for Goodyear and going to the site yields no popup asking one to take a survey. so if you want people to take this survey you had better supply the URL where that popup is available.

It isn't just the political part. It is illegal to create a situation in a workplace where a hostile environment is present that is based on race, sex, sexual orientation, or religion. How would Goodyear argue that allowing an employee to express the statement "Black Lives Matter" but not express the statement "All Lives Matter" isn't racially oriented discrimination and will create a hostile environment.

Imagine a restaurant that refused to serve people who had shirts on that said "Black Lives Matter" but did serve people who wore shirts that said "All Lives Matter". Does anybody think there would not be immediate enforcement action by every agency you can think of?

The Department of Labor, and the Department of Justice should be drafting a letter to the CEO of Goodyear today.

The left boycotted Goya. I’m willing to buy another brand so as to send a message.

I did that!

“Why did you come to this site?”

Me: “Find out why Goodyear hates the police.”

Goodyear: ...the visual in question was not created or distributed by Goodyear corporate, nor was it a part of a diversity training program.

What is interesting is that Goodyear disavows the slide but fails to explain where it did come from.

Done! I told them I expressly went to the website to criticize their company politics, and that none of my 5 vehicles will ever have Goodyear tires again.

Get woke, go broke.

How many Trump supporters are there? 70 million? 80 million?

If even 1%-2% call Goodyear, that’s a million or so.

Goodyear bracing for a Badyear, their Execs feeling some warm Obama in the seat of their pants.

They asked for it.
