Duck Commander = business owned by the Robertson family.

Duck Dynasty = merchandising goldmine owned by A&E.

Cracker Barrel is doing the right thing here.

C’mon man. Cracker Barrel is doing the right thing?

I personally don’t care who owns the merchandising. They are CENSORING Phil Robertson for his CHRISTIAN viewpoint, regardless who makes, sells or makes money off the transaction.

Cracker Barrel just bit the hand that feeds them. Let them make a go off of 1.5% of the population and see how that works out for them. Maybe they could host a Mardi Gras party at their stores. That’ll pack in the customers.

If that is correct...CB needs to fire their communication head, because their statement on FB sure is ambiguous...

.......I don’t get your conclusion. If I am the CEO of the Cracker Barrell, and all things were rockin on “normal”, I should be fired for doing “ANYTHING” to potentially alienate half the American Population in fell swoop.

The “right” thing, or the “smart” thing, on the other hand, if your so concerned about a duck call being sold in your store, is to VERY quietly, after the storm, remove that selected merchandise from your shelves and if any nosy presser inquires just call it “normal inventory adjustments”.

With due respect to you and your argument, I think the man is an idiot for needlessly involving his company in this controversy and potentially costing his company millions.
