Allan Jones is CEO of Hardwick Clothing and Check Into Cash payday loan company announced on Tuesday his is through with sponsoring the wardrobes and advertising on the NFL.

Hardwick Clothing is America’s oldest suit maker.

In his statement Jones said, “Our companies will not condone unpatriotic behavior!” The Times Free Press reported:

Two years ago, Cleveland, Tenn., businessman Allan Jones was proudly showing off his newly acquired Hardwick Clothing-brand suits by providing the wardrobe for NBC’s on-air talent during the network’s broadcasts of NFL football games.

But after NFL players and coaches challenged President Donald Trump and many took a knee during the national anthem played before their games over the weekend, Jones said he is through sponsoring the wardrobes or advertising on stations that air the National Football League.

Jones, CEO of the payday lending chain Check Into Cash and owner of Hardwick Clothes — America’s oldest suit maker — tweeted his criticism and change of heart Tuesday.

Indeed. We need to support those who support America and Americans, just as we let them know what we think when they don’t.

This whole affair is, has and will hurt NFL. I can’t predict how much, how long, but for all their bluster, you can bet there is shear, apoplectic panic in the back rooms of NFL.

Bull. The teams are still pulling this crap. If the NFL cared, someone would do something about the unpatriotic behavior.

I would love to as well, but those clothes are very pricey. I just sent them a note telling them I appreciate what they did and that I hope they make truck loads of money from it.
