Of course now they pissed off the left for supporting blue lives. Maybe both sides could boycott. Only a company run by idiots would jump into a political battle unnecessarily. Their job is to make money yet decisions like this will hurt their volume for years to come.

Still not winning just yet. Dumbyear only backed off Blue Lives Matter.

There's still the issue of All Lives Matter, Maga, etc...in other words....FREE SPEECH!!!!

I’m OK with that. But it’s light years from where Goodyear is right now.

Generally speaking — I think we should double down on All Lives Matter. No preference to blue, black, yellow, red or white. All Lives Matter is not much of a political statement really.

Let’s make companies and democrats defend why they think it’s wrong to desire that all lives matter.

Too late. They made their sick position known and now it’s out there. There is no un-ringing that bell.

Not exactly a cave. A concession. If Marxist slogans can be worn and sexual perversion symbols can be worn them capitalist and Christ honoring should be worn as well.

Not enough Goodyear.

Either all political statements are allowed or none are allowed.

How blind their Leftism makes them. In addition to aggravating decent Americans, Goodyear stands to lose a lot in police department contracts for banning Blue Lives Matter.

Goodyear pretending they're not responsible for the statements of an employee in a plant is also a very bad statement. If they can't control their employees, how do customers know the tires are quality tires? If they lied about knowing the employee making the presentation, are they also lying about the quality of their tires?

Yep.

The only correct response was “We have oficially revoked this unfortunate policy in entirety. When not facing customers, all goodyear will allow any attire appropriate for the work envionment with no suppression of free speech other than banning curse words.”

They need to amend BLM support to;

We support black lives...

But not the BLM political and terrorist group.

What the CEO should have said (’borrowed’ from another site):

“He should have come out and said in plain English:

You know what - I had no idea this crap was being taught at our company and I have fired the contractors and those that hired the contractors. We make tires - Our employees can support whoever they want and wear whatever slogans they want, as long as they keep making tires.

If you are a good year customer we thank you, if not gives us a try - our tires are black, but they work well on any colored car!”

And yet over the last two days we’ve been told by RINO’s that presidents shouldn’t be calling for boycotts, there are other better ways to deal with this, etc. And yet somehow Trump finds a way to get Goodyear to reverse. Gee I wonder if there’s a connection.

I blame this on the NFL, Kaepernick, and Roger Goodell. Why? Because this could have been nipped in the bud if it had been affirmed that nobody has complete freedom of speech on the job. Only government can infringe one’s rights. Employers have the right to demand that their employees adhere to certain codes of dress, conduct, and speech. All these companies are idiots to allow their employees to engage in anything that is political or controversial while on the job. Everything offends somebody, so why would any company want to risk it? It’s bad business.

(Trey made this beat)

I am not a racist
I got all different color foreigns, I am not a racist
I like my money different colors but I prefer the blue faces
I can get money with whomever, you can be Caucasian
And if Sara want to eat the chocolate I’ma let her taste it

I’m hollerin’ “Woo,” drive da foreign like a stolo
And if it ain’t the briefs, shawty, I don’t wear no Polo
And if you ain’t my laid up bae, then I can’t beat you solo
And if the diamonds ain’t VVS, the meeting that’s a no go
Park the coupe in the garage, now I’m bervin’ in the four-door (skrrt)
He all in his feelings ‘cause his girl want a photo
If you snitched on your partners then to me you the popo
Got a big .45 on me you might think I’m Dolo
I’m hollerin’ “Woo”
Kiki, I got one more question ‘fore you meet me
Is you gon’ let me beat it like I’m Rocky?
And when you call my name call me, “Papi”

I got all different color foreigns, I am not a racist
I like my money different colors but I prefer the blue faces
I can get money with whomever, you can be Caucasian
And if Sara want to eat the chocolate I’ma let her taste it

Ain’t got a racist bone in my body, all my diamonds white
What I spend my money on, homie I don’t need no advice
And if the white girl fine I’ma gon hit the like
And I’m a very open minded guy but I prefer it blight
I got a Cuban link the other day with real big stones
I’m on South Beach right now looking for some chons
If you twelve and you prejudice then we don’t get along
This ain’t no noose around my neck these just some diamond chains on
I got a bankroll
RIP To Bankroll, I just bought some Pink 50, dog on some Draco
I just met some animal last night on the beach
Told her she can’t come up out to breathe until she make me skeet

I got all different color foreigns, I am not a racist
I like my money different colors but I prefer the blue faces
I can get money with whomever, you can be Caucasian
And if Sara want to eat the chocolate I’ma let her taste it

Cops use up a lot of cop tires. They were going to lose a lot of sales.
