I doubt their philanthropy will have a large bearing on their commercial success

Their philanthropy played a HUGE role in their commercial success. We ate there many times just because of their stand for marriage. We could just as easily have eaten something else.

Now they have removed a major reason for our support of them. The have left the field to the perverts and have become just another pro-faggotry business. Why should we do business with them?

They need to fix this and come out with a strong and blatant statement of their support for biblical marriage. If the perverts are not upset with them then the statement is not nearly strong enough.

Bwahahaahahahahahaha, same playbook, same meaningless “innocent” questions repeated over and over demanding answers as in 2016.

I am GUFFAWING, just like in 2016, remember?

This looks like damage control on the part of Chick Fil A. Getting a prominent evangelical minister, and one known for being a Trump supporter, to support them is a counter measure. Management panicked due to their problems in getting into the UK, Canada, and liberal run facilities like airports and colleges, plus the harassment by the SKW crowd. Unfortunately for them, they forgot their customer base, the deplorables in flyover country, made them the number three fast food vendor in America. The conservative talkers and social media sites started beating on Chick Fil A. Plus some franchise owners are probably starting to feel backlash. In an atmosphere of the phony impeachment and MSM becoming undisguised haters of conservatives and Christians, Chick Fil A's timing was as idiotic as Prince Andrew or Beto O'Rourke .

Just like in 2016, many here on this thread share my POV, yet a “few” decided to call out, taunt and bully just me over it, and why?

Because I noticed their coordination of posted content.

Just like in 2016.

Folks, it’s getting real deep in here again, so keep the hip waders on and powder dry.

Again, avoiding answering the question

[treetopsandroofs]

My first thought when reading the headline.

[treetopsandroofs]

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, KEEP IT COMING!

Truett Cathy, father and founder, died 5 years ago

It must be one of his 3 children....Dan I guess

[Guenevere]

It’s both......but you’re very new here I see.

One little change in charity allocations and everyone loses their damn mind.

As Andrew Klavan said yesterday in regard to Chick-fil-A’s decision, “It’s easy to tease people over these little things, but these little things are the grains of sand that get eaten away over time so that pretty soon you look around and your Christian heritage is gone.... This is where the revolution takes place. It’s not in the big fights that come eventually, it’s in the little fights that come every day.

[Guenevere]

I’m sorry, but you just don’t seem to ‘get it’.....all due respect.

Their food isn’t as good either. The last time I went, mine was terrible. We haven’t been back. There has been a decline in quality in addition to them kissing butt with the oppressors.

If we don’t like what they do, stop going there. Don’t promote them as faith friendly. ESPN did an about face and is now trying to improve their product instead of preach. If these corporate fascists take us for granted we can cook our own food.

I have done some bell ringing for the SA over the past few Christmases. I highly recommend it. The experience will really pull you back from the brink of “the entire world has just gone to hell in a handbasket”.

I was amazed by the number of people who walked up and thanked me for being there.

“Dan was very clear that they have not bowed down to anyone’s demands, including the LGBTQ community. They will continue to support whoever they want to support. They haven’t changed who they are or what they believe. Chick-fil-A remains committed to Christian values. Dan Cathy assured me that this isn’t going to change. I hope all those who jumped to the wrong conclusion about them read this,” Graham wrote.

In some ways, this contradicts their previous statement. And this statement is not backed up in any way at this point. So I don’t see how this changes anything.

[Guenevere]

Well said!.....very well said!

[Black Agnes]

The CEO is a biggie in Boy Scouts of America.

Make of that what you will...

[Impala64ssa]

Only total and complete acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle - by everyone - will make the homosexual community happy. Even then, they will never be happy
Why do they call themselves gay when they're so damn miserable? Instead of getting mad, why dont they get even? This particular demographic prides itself on their talents and creativity. Why doesn't someone open a chain of LGBTQ/whatever friendly fast food joints? Oh, wait! That's competition, a capitalist principle. It would go against leftist morals and mores. Actually there is such a place, a very small chain, Hamburger Mary's. The one in Ybor City in Tampa was shut down for a few months because of serious health violations and a hepatitis scare the owners, on cue, chalked up to homophobia. Oh, well...

[Buckeye McFrog]

Yes indeed. That response seemed too generic of a statement, written by a leftist. Wonder if someone new is in charge of PR.

ALL corporate marketing departments today are dominated by Leftists. Most of them female, and all of them social media addicts. It's been about 15 years since our universities were putting out any other kind.

BTW, unleashing armies of noob trolls to try and counteract narratives is one of the first handful of plays in their playbook.

Does anyone really think they weren't?
