Just like nascar. they don't give a fuck-all about any other color other than green, and they line their pockets and their sponsor's pockets with it any way they can. They're die-hard race fans will still watch, and they'll likely open up the doors to a bit of a new demographic that will tune in and spend some of their hard earned dollars, even if it's only for a one time deal, they make money off of them. They don't give a fuck about some flag. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta admit it is a bid ridiculous, at this stage of the game with these corporations and all their virtue signaling. Re naming 100+ year old iconic brands in almost every house holds cupboards? Ok sure. They should have just issued a milquetoast statement standing behind their products, maybe cut a couple checks to some charities. Because, whats next? I'll make a point of not buying it. I think Aldi's syrup is called "Aunt Maple". I hope no one finds that offensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they actually cared, they wouldn't wait for the public narrative. It is our culture. Money runs the game. I get it. I'm still not a fan of how we do it in a reactionary manner. You don't get rewards for doing the right thing just because it is the right thing. You get rewards when you do it because someone, (societal pressure, etc.) tells you it is the right thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
