Allan Jones, CEO of Hardwick Clothing and Check Into Cash payday loan company, announced on Tuesday he 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.

Actually most of these companies don’t do payday loans anymore thanks to Obama regulations. They do short-term installment loans now, and customers have to have relatively fair credit and a good monthly income

That’s right. When it hits their pocket books they’ll change their tune.

I have sent emails to several sponsors and have received thoughtful responses. I feel that some of the big boys are getting uneasy since they can read the opinion polls. They find themselves on the wrong side of things and I’m pretty confident are putting heat on the NFL commissioner.

Very nice.... especially since I predicted this scenario almost exactly on another thread earlier today. I bet there are meetings going on right now with a few other marketing departments where the general thinking is “we got get out of this mess and so we may as well do it and try to make hay while we are doing it.”

You really think the Belgians would do that?

“You really think the Belgians would do that?”

They will in a heartbeat when and if their revenues drop as a consequence of Americans not buying Boosh Beer!
