Women's group wants sponsors to sever ties with Peyton Manning

[ConservativeStatement]

A national women's group is urging companies that sponsor Peyton Manning to cut ties with the Broncos quarterback. UltraViolet, a group made up of over 700,000 people, specifically called out Papa John's and Nationwide Insurance as two companies that should suspend ties with Manning immediately.

The group would also like the NFL to investigate the 1996 incident at the University of Tennessee that took place between Manning and former Volunteers trainer Jamie Naughright.

Are they saying the same thing about Bill Clinton?

[MarvinStinson]

What do they say about Bill Clinton?

[ConservativeStatement]

I was about to say something similar but Clinton was pro-choice so .... he gets a pass with many women’s groups.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Are these actual women or “transgenders”?

I saw a John Wayne movie earlier this week. An actress named Vera Ralston co-starred. I was unfamiliar with her. I checked IMDB. And saw this “She was an ardent conservative-minded Republican and fervent anti-communist.” Too bad much of culture, pop culture for sure, is now the other way.

IIRC doesn”t Manning have a whole bunch of Pappa John’s stores?

Clinton also didn’t humble a black hero quarterback (not that Manning did either, but he was on the team that did).

[ConservativeStatement]

“Peyton Manning became the newest franchisee for Papa John’s pizza, signing a deal to own 21 stores in the Denver area Friday.”

Straight out of Mao’s Little Red Book.

Peyton's one time event where he sat on a woman's face who was probably a douche to begin with - is way worse than Bill Clinton who sexually assaults women as regularly as he eats breakfast even to the point of rape.

Yeah, Peyton is way worse.

Went to Nationwide Arena over the weekend to watch a Blujackets game. Had a Papa Johns pizza while I was there.

Now I’m even more glad I did.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I agree. I’m predicting that the Kenyan and his racist pals are going to ban the American flag before he leaves office in January. I already see it coming. He knows that the people in this country don’t shive a git about anything but themselves anymore.

I hope the restaurant chain doesn’t cave.

Uh, hey, dummy-women’s group, whoever you are: Why would the NFL investigate something that happened while PM was in college? Ya just can’t fix stupid.

Talk about the cart before the horse. Off with his head first, and then let’s see if it actually happened. Manning may or may not have done what he is accused of, but these shrews want his head on a platter no matter what the truth is.

BTW, the “national women’s group” in question - UltraViolet - has less than 300k members nation-wide. It should also be noted that one of the founders of UV - Nita Chaundhary - was previously a big wheel at MoveOn and got her start at the ironically-named People For The American Way.

UltraViolet, a group made up of over 700,000 people

I call BS. Never heard of this group. They probably bought some mailing lists and send out spam to "members." Its probably two dykes and a PC, working out of trailer somewhere.
