But at the same time there are posters here that supported Nike, Gillette when they purposely inserted themselves into the political debate.
yeah, there are winning opinions and loser opinions. Athletes are winners and wear Nike, CEOs are winners who shave and aren't neckbeard losers.
That was a company wide decision and Nike and Gillette were not taking a clear side contrary to opinion. Kap was protesting police brutality which is a topic many Americans support. People only objected to HOW he protested, not WHAT he protested. Gillette was simply sending a message about stopping patterns of abuse. Who is against that? Some people did not like how they presented the message but no one is against telling some men to stop harrassing women or encourage violent behavior.
Chik-FIil-A is in the same category as MyPussywillow and Papa John's. When the CEO goes out of his way to support a controversial issue publicly he drags his entire company with it.
