In some cases a boycott will have the reverse effect as in the Chick-Fil-A case but in most cases there is marginal if any effect at all.
I can't think of one business that was shut down or even severely affected on account of a boycott from either the Right or the Left. I also think a lot of people who are vowing not to watch the NFL game next Sunday will watch it just the same.
Lots of spin, but note the info on the makegoods. Yes, boycotts can work.
Has there ever been a boycott that actually worked?
the prime purpose for boycotts is for the signalling of one’s virtue; as many of the posts on this stupid thread indicate quite nicely...
