Not good enough. They need to denounce the Black Lives Matter organization as a radical Marxist hate group. The BLM organization cares nothing for black lives.

I just had a new set of goodyears put on my truck a month ago.

I can’t afford to replace them...:(

The thing is, we have ceded the battleground to the left. We had very honorable intentions but the result is cowardly corporations are not afraid of us so they surrender to the left. We need to stand up and be counted.

You want to cringe before a bunch of spoiled kids, be our guest, but go peddle your products to someone else. Were done.

So, only Blue Lives Matters, but not All Lives Matters?

This is why Japanese manufacturing companies have uniforms for their workers.

I like ‘em but boy are they expensive.

Definitely paying a little extra for the name.

Repeating what I posted on the other thread:

Why not just simply say employees may not wear clothing with political statements or images of ANY KIND in the workplace.

That simple statement would save a ton of heartbreak down the road.

Too little, too late.”

Yes, they are trying to backtrack without being accused of capitulating to the President. It might help a little but I think it’s damage done. People aren’t going to forget to were with promoting the Marxists at BLM but not respecting the lives of men and women of law enforcement. A lot of company eyeballs were fine with the text of the slide presented before The President raised hell about it.

As a Goodyear tire lover (yes, we exist) I am with you. No more Goodyear for me. Let the pain seep in for awhile.

Goodyears on my vehicles as well. The problem with this boycott is that the people it hurts the most are the small business owner/operators of Goodyear tire stores who didn't ask to be a part of any of this.

TOO LATE!

Idiots forgave Target and their stock went all the way back up and then some after first tanking

I have not stepped foot in there.

will NEVER buy Goodyear unless a NEW CEO apologies and calls what happened absurd.

YES I do use products and services that are owned by liberals. It’s hard not to.

But once they start openly discriminating or doing sick things like letting men in girls bathrooms or become ALL ABOUT blm i’m out.

target DEAD nfl DEAD goodyear DEAD chick fill DEAD..but I never ate there anyway.

chick hurts because it’s like they fooled people

walmart sells blm shirts online and that is BAD but for one item out of hundreds of thousands, it is what it is

as a conservative, i do not like the cancel culture, or President Trump calling for a boycott... seems contradictory to the idea that we all have freedom of expression.

i know Goodyear messed up, i would have liked the President to ask them if they truly meant to publicly support cop killers, support the end to the western idea of family, end to capitalism and that they didn’t support law enforcement. Publicly shaming them into either a boycott or open support for freedom of expression.

after a public shaming or refusal, goodyear would be done...
