Can you think of a single conservative boycott that has altered the behavior of a Global 100 company? I sure can’t.

Boycotts generally don’t work for either side and sometimes they actually backfire, as happened when liberals called for the boycott of Chick-fila (although after old man Cathy died, Chick-fila immediately went woke, too).

The pressure were seeing today exerted by progressive groups on corporations transcends boycotts. It’s something else and whatever it is, it’s surprisingly and consistently effective. That is what Republicans have to figure out how to counter.

We hereby cancel this evil and profane godless culture that promotes lies, deceptions, violence and perversions as their holier-than-thou divisive agenda. We cancel ourselves out from participation in its toxic and poisonous activities that it has ruined. May many blind eyes be opened to truth but the leftards agenda deserves its trip to hell where it belongs.

Rather than pout and grandstand these corporations should work with states and the federal government to provide IDs to all US Citizens and state citizens who do not have them. Then they could vote and fly.

Can’t we have even one activity not polluted by leftoid politics, racism and political correctness?

Not as long as we're pouring money into their pockets. Cut the cord.

Take President Trump's lead:

Boycott baseball and all of the woke companies that are interfering with Free and Fair Elections. Are you listening Coke, Delta, and all!blockquote>

The Braves will likely be playing in Jackson or Sarasota, or even Nashville.

Sorry sir you can’t get on the plane.

But I’ve got my boarding pass. Here.

Sorry someone told me their name, same as what you just said, and I let them on.
We no longer require ID.

There is some fighting back, other than by boycotts. The Georgia House passed a bill revoking a jet fuel tax break for Delta Airlines. Too bad the Georgia Senate didn’t bother with it.

Also, some South Carolina GOP House (US) members are looking into revoking MLB’s antitrust exemption.

Perhaps some enterprising attorney can start a class action lawsuit against Woke-A Cola for caffeine-addicted diabetics.

Selling drugs in the hood

In prison

I was waiting until someone with the awesome intellectual power of LeBron James weighed-in on this subject before I made a decision. What does Sesame Street’s Grover have to say?

She blinked because big business threatened her, Pence in Indiana and North Carolina did the same when they were targeted like this over LGBT laws. It’s a problem Republicans are going to have to figure out how to counter, quickly.

McCrory became history over HB2

. If a third of the fan base turns off the viewership, and stadiums start averaging only 10 to 15 thousand on a Friday night.....a new more lean business situation has to be created.

That's not a bad thing. $10 for a good seat. $5 for a beer. $5 for a hot dog. Altogether $20 for a night at the ballgame. Right now, all of that would cost you $100.

My heart goes out to the hundreds of small business owners, many of them restaurant & bar owners in Cobb County, who were very likely in DESPERATE need of the business generated by this game particularly after coming off the worst year for the restaurant industry since the Great Depression.

I feel bad for the business owners as well...

Commissioner Manfred did not care about those owners at all...He only cared about getting along with the players' union...Head of the union suggested the action taken by Manfred...
