It Begins. Owner of Historic US Clothing Company Pulls Ads from NFL Games
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 27 September 2017 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 09/27/2017 5:35:53 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

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.

They are pricey—they do top quality custom stuff...Perhaps President Trump could buy some suits from them :)

I hope the sponsors make a quick exit!

And, when they leave, I hope they get favorable publicity and much more business!

It’s necessary to support those sponsors who dump the NFL and to let those sponsors know that the support was generated by dumping the NFL.

...a black 59 Christian man very well spoken basically said white people will never understand and that until all people in authority positions in the USA are non white or black America won’t know justice and be free of racism and oppression...

There are several countries in Africa where this utopian ideal is already met. I would gladly pay his way to any of them if he would agree to stay for 10 years minimum before coming back and reporting on what living conditions are like.

He has to pay his own way back, but since he would not be oppressed earning gobs of money would be easy.

To: BlackFemaleArmyCaptain; All

Please feel free to re-post this on any other nfl threads...

It was once explained to me that the most effective way to get somebody in a corporate executive position’s attention is to send snail mail. Send your message right to the top - President, CEO, etc. E-mails just get mass deleted. Phone calls may tie up the phone lines but typically get ignored. Posts on social media sites may do some good as it’s hard to ignore a 12,000 post thread on a site like nfl Facebook that may ordinarily get a few dozen responses but an actual letter gets noticed because the recipient has to take certain actions.

Let’s look at the physical analogy to those 12,000 Facebook posts if they were letters. The mail-room would be swamped with envelopes that can’t just be thrown away. All have to be opened and read by humans or else items relevant to the business might get thrown, things like checks and legal papers, etc. It is possible that it will be an executive secretary reading the mail addressed to the corporate Big Kahunas. All this takes time and resources. Likewise, if one were to send their opinions on something that, on first glance looks like a check or a letterhead of a business that doesn’t exist the company’s operations get further bollixed.

Also, may I suggest that the big data providers are probably watching you. If you use a cable box to watch the nfl or stream to a device it will be noted. It will also be noted if big data sees you streaming Youtube videos during game hours. I would also suggest gathering in public during gametime where it will be noticed that one is not sitting in front of their screen. How about a mass sing-in of the National Anthem on your local public square or even better, in front of the local tv station that is airing the nfl game.

Headline: Militant Normals Hijack Allinsky !

NFL owners can’t get together with their banking insurance buddies, and scheme a plan for the Dishonorable members of Congress to mandate all to be forced to watch their games.

That’s the problem.

Anheuser-Busch...

They would be missed only due to their ads with the Clydesdales. Of course, that primarily seen during the Christmas season. An Anti-American company is also an Anti-religious one.

Good for you.

I just received this email today:

Let’s unite and call for a National boycott of the NFL for

Sunday November 12th, Veterans Day Weekend. Boycott all

football telecast, all fans, all ticket holders, stay away

from attending any games, let them play to empty stadiums.

Pass this post along to all your friends and family. Honor

our military, some of whom come home with the American

Flag draped over their coffin. Continue with the weekly

boycott of televised games. If they can’t support our

military, then we shouldn’t support them!!!! I’m in, are

you? re-post if you are!!
