Goof Year literally contradicts itself. It claims political affiliation as unacceptable, and turned right around and backs Marxist political affiliated groups. :rolleyes:
TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - A Goodyear employee says the company has put out a new policy that has some calling it not equal for all.
A photo seen circulating on social media shows a slide that was presented during a diversity training showing what's acceptable and what isn't acceptable as part of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company's zero-tolerance policy.
Under acceptable: Black Lives Matter (BLM), Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride.
Listed as unacceptable: Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, MAGA Attire, Political Affiliated Slogans or Material.

A year ago I would have said this was satire or a parody, maybe Babylon Bee stuff. But this is just wrong. Badyear will never see a dime from me.

Same here, I triple checked to see it wasn't a hoax. Yep, I too will be looking for another tire company when I have to shell out another 2 grand for tires.

Back-tracking or mistaken identity?
Let them only sell tires to Marxist from now on.
Fuck Goodyear and their shitty tires. They didn't deny supporting a political racist terrorist organization (BLM) is OK.

That's the thing, they should have come out and said they do mot support the Marxist movement. They failed miserably!
No more Good Year tires for me until they make a public statement chastising BLM.

This is the key sentence in this whole posting. "as well as similar forms of advocacy that fall outside of racial justice and equality issues" This was written by a lawyer for sure. All they have to do is say that Black Lives Matter speaks to racial justice and equality issues. Goodyear just fed you a line of lawyer double talk, and thinks you are too stupid to understand. I spent too many years explaining state statutes to lawyers to not recognize their trickery. FUCK GOODYEAR

So it changed nothing. According to Goodyear it's OK to support a racist marxist terrorist organization but not ok to support our president, our cops or American citizens.

Agree! They better get their shit together or they're going under. People are sick to death of corporations pushing cancel culture and they're paying for it at the counter.

No doubt. They still didn't OK MAGA hats, nor did they apologize for all this shit. People are very forgiving when business comes clean, and they didn't.

Not only did they not come clean but they lied about the training BS.

Yep, it'll cost them heavily. Not to mention their stock plummeting. I wonder how the board will take having their shares tank.
The boycott has to be maintained. Never waver. Nascar, by the way uses Goodyear tires. Dont watch a race or purchase any nascar product.
Goodyear tire and rubber manufacturing plants are in Madisonville Kentucky for awn and graden tractors , John Deere Horicon WI produced 1,032 garden tractors a day, Deer like American Business runs on Quality and price, employees 50,000 people World Wid, they store thier 1 day production in a yard at Horicon and the next day move these units through the USA and world. One day I received a call form their security guards , My Company produced the wheel and tires the guard said thier was a pooping noise in the yard and noticed the tires were all Flat Goodyear pays thier union Employees like $35 an hour the reason the tires were going Flat is because an employee set the tool to vent the tire to deep during Manufacture, I had 24 hours to replace all the fished Inventory and weekly production needs of 24,000 wheel and tire, I co sourced the tires with Carlisle Tire and Rubber The set thier plant on 24 7 as I did mine to meet John Deers needs at our cost.

Interesting...
Got 4 new Michelins yesterday - $800 that Goodyear will NOT get. The tire shop owner is the source for all of the local and county government, and regional Highway Patrol vehicle tires - says he has gotten calls from all of them about replacing the Goodyears, and said he is also returning all of his Goodyear stock to the distributor. I am sure this is not the only place this is happening...

Times a million!
Why would a store owner sit on stock no one wants? I have a pretty good idea this is being repeated all across the country.
