Goya Foods boycott takes off after its CEO praises Trump

[Sailor]

Well, you thought people should boycott the Red Hen, now you think it’s bad that people boycott Goya.

And like the Red Hen, this boycott will fail also. It will actually increase business for GOYA.

Yes Popeye you are offensive.

I was just about to start a thread on this.

This kind of boycott is stupid, and the worst kind. Same thing the right did to the Dixie Chicks.

Boycotts can have limited effectiveness to change a specific behavior - but we have to stop boycotting just because we disagree w/ someone politically. It's the marketplace of ideas - if you don't like someone's idea or opinion, counter it w/ a better one. Don't just try to shut them up.

They changed their name to just the pain Chicks

They'll always be the Dixie Chicks...Lady A will always be Lady Antebellum...you can tear down the statue, change the name or label or the mascot, etc...history doesn't change....

Pushing the incompetent and dangerous trump is not politically responsible. Trump is a portable bomb that should be defused in November.

Legal voting is fine. Boycotting a company that employs thousand of people of differing political views is just plain wrong

No one on the left can argue that. That is exactly what they say when they tear down statues and symbols.

Nordberg would not be yammering if his job was potentially on the line for strictly political purposes. Then again, as he is obviously on public assistance what does he care?

How did I miss the point of the discussion? The discussion is boycotting businesses for political differences.

Because you are a racist Ken. Not that your EBT card really buys that much to worry about anyway.
