This is stupidity. This is insanity. This is suicide. American companies and institutions are purposely destroying themselves. They're ripping apart billion-dollar brands that have taken decades of hard work to build. And they're doing it in a matter of days.
They're marching off cliffs like sheep.
Keep in mind sheep are idiots. They have no brainpower. They can't think for themselves. If one sheep walks off a cliff, they'll all happily follow. Did you ever imagine CEOs of billion-dollar companies could be as dumb as sheep?
Who committed suicide this week? Some of the biggest brand names in America ...
Let's start with Victoria's Secret. I have a secret for them. You just killed your business. How clueless can you get? Victoria's Secret sells lingerie, bras, bathing suits. This isn't brain surgery. Those products are sold by beautiful female models. Always have been, always will be. They're so beautiful they're called "angels." And here's another secret for clueless Victoria's Secret: Men open up their wallets for beautiful women.
Most women want to look like angels, too. Even if only for one night with dim lights on. Even if only while wearing Victoria's Secret lingerie.
Sex and beauty sell clothing. All clothing, but especially women's clothing. And really, really, especially, lingerie, bras and bathing suits.
But the brains of Victoria's Secret executives have clearly been eaten by zombies or brainwashed by woke, liberal, feminist fools. They've decided to fire all their sexy, gorgeous, skinny, busty models. The angels are being replaced by overweight, unattractive, feminist icons and transgender models.
Even if you personally believe this leftist, feminist drivel, that's fine. Be a Stepford wife in private. But to attach this insanity to your billion-dollar brand is suicide. No one will buy clothing, let alone bras, panties and lingerie from unattractive, overweight feminists and transgender models. Your business is ruined, thanks to your radical, absurd, insane political philosophy.
But the NFL could be even more stupid and reckless than Victoria's Secret. Have you seen the latest TV ad for the NFL? It says, "The NFL is gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender." Insanity does not even begin to describe how clueless this is. I'm Exhibit A. I'm the prototype for your typical NFL fan.
I've loved the NFL since I was 5 years old. I live for Sundays to watch NFL football. I live and die with my Dallas Cowboys. I love America, faith, family, freedom, my fiancee and my NFL. That's not a brand. That's a religion. The NFL is part of my life. It's the DNA of America.
Why would the NFL ruin their brand by getting involved with politics? And not just any politics, but the most controversial and radical politics possible.
First, you damaged your NFL brand with kneeling for the national anthem. Then you supported Black Lives Matter rioting, looting and burning. Ratings dramatically declined. Now this. Are you trying to alienate 60% or more of your most loyal fans? Why?
The NFL is about sports, gambling and violence. It's a perfect mix that attracts mostly macho, straight males -- a majority of whom are conservative, Christian and unabashed patriots. I'd bet my life's fortune that a large majority of the fans sitting in the stands at NFL games voted for former President Donald Trump.
Like it or not, that's your audience. Like it or not, a majority of the NFL's paying customers have conservative views and values. They go to church; they believe in God; they own guns; they vote Republican; and they idolize Clint Eastwood, Sylvester Stallone and Donald Trump.
Why offend your customers? Why get involved in politics at all? But if you do, why pick a stand that alienates a majority of your most loyal fans? I have nothing against lesbians, bisexuals or transgenders, but how many pay for NFL season tickets? Maybe a dozen in a stadium that seats 75,000? Maybe.
Is the NFL trying to attract 0.0000000001% new fans while driving away 60% of their current fans forever? Is that a smart business decision? Actually, this is business suicide.
The NFL shouldn't hate gays, lesbians or transgenders. I don't. But what does anyone's sexuality have to do with football? Will there be a straight male Pride Month? Will future NFL television ads say: "We are macho, straight, Republican and proud"? I doubt it. But why not? That's your audience. That's who buys the tickets.
The lesson for corporations is: Stay out of politics. Don't take sides. Unless you have a business death wish. Unless you want to kill your brand.
This Independence Day, tell corporate America to shut up and stop committing suicide.
mark twain
destruction of a brand does not mean less economic activity. people are still buying lingerie just not VS.
personally, i avoid national name brands as much as possible. buy local/generic as much as i can. still spending money, just else where.
i avoid them because they are woke and they fund the LEFTIST media.
You just described why I tell the following to woke corporations that refuse to deliver since some flake’s political agenda is more important:
“Please do the marketplace a favor. DIE! Hurry up! Commit seppuku!”
Their upper management and boards of directors went to Marxist indoctrination camps called prep schools which then funnel their graduates to the Ivy Leagues and the like. All the expensive schools in my area have been like this for decades.
Globalism and free trade have ruined the manufacturing base, the heart of the US economy. Only tariffs and closed borders will bring industry back and perhaps stave off the Communist revolution both externally and internally.
these korporations in amerika have all hired DIE officers.
they have received their woke materials from a common source. the language and programs are all to similar.
i can confirm this with a conversation with a buddy at fireworks last night.
How big are their cowboy boots? Not as big as mine!
“The Suns said pretty loudly that they hate me because I have white skin, and they don’t want to feel forced take any more of my dirty white money,” I reply. “I don’t want to make the poor fellows uncomfortable by spectating at any sport they own without permission. I’m just being polite.” :)
We don’t either. My wife had just gotten to the point where she wanted to watch with me but we gave it up a few years back. They went so far off-road from our values they became a hostile foreign enemy.
This Independence Day, tell corporate America to shut up and stop committing suicide.

Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.
Globalism and free trade don’t matter when the internal corporations are leftist. The communist revolution can happen from internal enemies.
If the founder of Victoria’s Secret ever found out about this, he’d jump off the Golden Gate bridge.
“ Idolizing actors and politicians (though I like PDJT) is wrong from the get go and I hope most conservatives know that.”
We understand your point and I believe conservatives live it for the most part and consequently it is costing us our country. The late, great Andrew Breitbart said “Politics is downstream from culture.”
Idolizing anything but God is a sin and wrong but we have to address the problem of loosing our culture equally as we are fighting for liberty. How can successive generations stand for American values of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness if we allow our values to be taken away?
We see no popular books, movies TV shows or music promoting the virtues of American and Western values instead we see the opposite. We will never triumph in the political realm until we start appreciating and preserving our American culture.
Globalism and free trade fuels the fire.
Nice! Actually the best I saw was in St Louis visiting a Gf some time I think in 85. It was the “Us” (not U.S.) Festival. Most patriotic display I ever saw right on the banks of the Mississippi. People were singing along with the rock songs and you really felt the spirit move through the entire crowd.
They don't need to. Booze commercials always feature suave, debonair, successful career and family people.
Because that's the way drunks like to envision themselves.
Yeah, and back in the 80s, Jose Cuervo Gold and Beefeater Gin convinced me I was 10 foot tall and bullet proof.
:D
