The NFL may be the only game in town but I gave up that game 15 years ago. I don’t need them for entertainment. There is plenty of other entertainment out there. Or I can take a nap.

Mark Martin isn’t just some guy. I suspect NASCAR pressured him to back down. The CEO’s statements did condemn Trump supporters, that’s what the MSM ran with and he has not repudiated any of it. He has not condemned AntiFa and he has not condemned BLM.

You’d think these companies would put the financial interest of their shareholders and workers ahead of their own PC political views.

You'd think. They clearly live in a bubble and are out of touch with the majority of their own customers. Looks as if their own customers are going to have to continue to teach them the error of their ignorant ways.

What ASTOUNDS me is why these totally uninformed people think they have to insert themselves into the political world.

I know that if I tried running Camping World, I’d probably run it straight into the ground. But at least it would not be because of IDIOTIC political statements. I would at least know that my customers are older, whiter, and much more conservative than most of the country.

If asked about something in the political world, I’d do one of two things:
1) Duck the question
2) Answer in a way that won’t cause me to lose my customer base.

In this case, the best answer (and the answer we wouldn’t be reading about) is to simply say that I don’t have enough information on that subject to comment.

Really, that is ALL our side expects from these CEOs. What the hell is so hard about that?

We are blessed locally as our local team is the Jaguars. Not difficult avoiding them.

How about: “We strive to be apolitical, we serve customers across the political spectrum with excellent RV products and services, and strongly prefer to continue doing so, so thank you for your concern but we have no comment upon political matters.”

I just sent an email to these idiots telling them how stupid this guy was and I hope they enjoy the lost sales they are about to experience.

“I just told 63 million people and their families (half the country) that I hated them and they shouldn’t shop at my stores. If they weren’t such ignorant Neanderthals they wouldn’t have believed me.”

I’d be willing to bet that that 63 million people comprise over 90% of his customer base, so the idiocy runs far deeper than immediately apparent at first glance.

I thought the name “Mark Martin” seemed familiar, but I didn’t connect those dots. Thanks.

If the boss wants to throw his money down the toilet, who am I to tell him not to flush?

I think I like Capitalism more and more every day.

Camping World just bought Gander Mountain/Overton’s sporting goods stores.

Make sure that you NEVER shop at them!

Wow. In the middle of having to shutdown and rebrand 120+ stores nationwide, overhauling his e-commerce, and having his ass kicked on a daily basis by Amazon, this shitlib’s first priority is running his yapper to alienate a good portion of his potential customer base.

I love watching a liberal’s emotions get the best of them.
