Yeti Coolers, a go-to for sportsmen around the country, is cutting ties with the NRA Foundation without explanation or prior notice. The NRA Foundation is a charitable organization.
The separation comes although Yeti products have long been a staple at Friends of NRA Foundation Banquets and functions.
NRA-ILA quoted NRA past president and USF executive director Marion Hammer saying, “Suddenly, without prior notice, YETI has declined to do business with The NRA Foundation saying they no longer wish to be an NRA vendor, and refused to say why. They will only say they will no longer sell products to The NRA Foundation.”
Hammer pointed out that the NRA Foundation raises money “to support youth programs and educational programs nationwide” and says Yeti “should be ashamed.”

Better yet, put the coolers and coozies out for target practice and blast them to the next county!
Same way the deep water knows to stay out of the shallow end of the pool.
Ah, but that doesn't meet youtube's new terms of service. Of to the camps with you, Deplorable.
I was just about to buy two, it will be RTIC now.
Buy Me A Boat?
Never heard of Yeti coolers until now.
$400.00 for a dang cooler? You’d have to be nuts!
Good grief.
My husband got me a yeti travel cup, does hot or cold. No better than one that is much less expensive.
There is a young company out of MS making coolers & they got a great write up. Need to find the name.
“Shades of Target’s transgender restroom policy. Prepare to go bankrupt.”
I had not read that Target went the way of Toy-R-Us & Montgomery Ward’s and went bankrupt.
These sons of b!tches and their over priced crap are dead to me!!!
Just do what you can to cover their logo and keep using it....don’t cut your nose off to spite your face.
“Rtic posted a picture of the Second Amendment on one of their social media platforms yesterday, and stated their support.”
YES!
I hope the RTIC CEO was sitting on the NRA Headquarter’s front step this morning.
“Let’s make a deal!”
Wonder if this is a common trend, bet their sales were dropping before they drop NRA support. A reason for previous failing sales or the past years sales performance (cook books) to the stock holders.
Good idea.....I bought a 50 last fall in a charity silent auction. Over paid for something that was already over valued. I am thinking an NRA sticker over the Yeti would work.
Yeti reps think their product cures cancer. I tried to get them to donate just one to my NBC Sports TV series for advertising considerations and the wanted me to pay the manufacturing hard cost. Completely moronic.
Coleman extreme preforms just as well at a fraction of the cost.
