Allan Jones is CEO of Hardwick Clothing and Check Into Cash payday loan company announced on Tuesday his is through with sponsoring the wardrobes and advertising on the NFL.

Hardwick Clothing is America’s oldest suit maker.

In his statement Jones said, “Our companies will not condone unpatriotic behavior!” The Times Free Press reported:

Two years ago, Cleveland, Tenn., businessman Allan Jones was proudly showing off his newly acquired Hardwick Clothing-brand suits by providing the wardrobe for NBC’s on-air talent during the network’s broadcasts of NFL football games.

But after NFL players and coaches challenged President Donald Trump and many took a knee during the national anthem played before their games over the weekend, Jones said he is through sponsoring the wardrobes or advertising on stations that air the National Football League.

Jones, CEO of the payday lending chain Check Into Cash and owner of Hardwick Clothes — America’s oldest suit maker — tweeted his criticism and change of heart Tuesday.

This whole affair is, has and will hurt NFL. I can’t predict how much, how long, but for all their bluster, you can bet there is shear, apoplectic panic in the back rooms of NFL.

I'm betting no one in the board rooms has the guts to stand up to the race pimps. They would rather lose their jobs than run the risk of being labeled racist.

They fear being labeled a "Racist" a lot than they fear being labeled "un-patriotic".

They will hold their ground even if they lose everything. They are more in fear of the players and the MSM than they are of the fans.

I'm thinking he's not qualified for custodial arts. Got to be able to change a light bulb, and know not to mix bleach with ammonia...

I’d assume Ford, GM, and AB are some of the largest revenue sources for the NFL. The tipping point might just be 1 of these companies pulling ads.

Hell, if I was on the buy side of this.. I’d be talking to the NFL about much LOWER rates given new risk of doing business with them.

Perhaps Mr. Jones should run for Corker’s Senate seat.

It is Roger Goddell’s job to advance the sport, not turn half the nation against it!
