Allan Jones, CEO of Hardwick Clothing and Check Into Cash payday loan company, announced on Tuesday he 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.

The nfl is effed.
So eff the nfl.
hmmm.... I am thinking that its about time to get a suit.
Amen...albeit it won’t cause me to lose sleep over a payday loan hurting...vampires in inner city sucking money out of people is simply evil...and I’m a huge entrepreneur capitalist saying that.
i better go get some payday loans to support them
Individuals like the idiot coaches who propagate this behavior like Pittsburgh and Dallas’ coaches have to wake up.
We rarely watch football games, but I’d be interested to know if there was a list of sponsors. To make an impact, they have to be hit in the pocketbook, and the easiest way to do that is through a drop in sponsors.
What say those retired generals and admirals who oversee USAA? Will they obey their globalist masters, or will they honor America? We shall see.
Oh, this is so cool!
This is the email I received after sending them an email that I will not drink their beer as long as they advertise on the NFL:
Tom,
Thank you for your email, we always appreciate feedback from our consumers and take your concerns seriously.
At Anheuser-Busch we have a long heritage of supporting the institutions and values that have made America so strong. That includes our armed forces and the national anthem as well as diversity, equality and freedom of speech. We proudly employ over 1,100 military veterans and we work every day to create an inclusive environment for all of our employees.
Anheuser-Busch has many long-term sports partnerships, including our NFL sponsorship, and while we may not agree on everything, we still believe in the power of sport to bring people together and overcome their differences.
We understand your concerns and will convey them to the NFL.
Thank you,
Anheuser-Busch
And those places prey on servicemen too. Bloodsuckers that they are. hard to root for loansharks.
the sponsors should at least ask for significantly reduced rates for these poorly viewed events.
“Anheuser-Busch has many long-term sports partnerships, including our NFL sponsorship, and while we may not agree on everything, we still believe in the power of sport to bring people together and overcome their differences.”
Yeah, but wait until this line of thinking starts affecting their bottom line. They are owned by the Krauts now as I recall, so it will be “der bottom ligne uber alles!”
