Too late. I won't use tires that pull left. They didn't have the balls to stick to their guns. Apparently lots of PDs let them know their contracts would not be renewed and their stock tanked. Stupid beyond belief. https://www.rt.com/usa/498454-goodyear-damage-control-trump-boycott/

Screw them- cat's out of the bag now.
Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.

You guys are not supporting the American ideal of free commerce.
They should be able to run their business as they chose, and the "system" appears to have worked in this case.
They made a decision, the consumers said FU, and they reversed their decision.
You folks do realize we're talking about a corporate entity, right? Their obligation is to their shareholders to make a profit. Not to support a cause or not support a cause on moral grounds.
I for one, think it was good business on their part to rescind their earlier decision.
The capitalist system worked this time. Supplier realized their demand would go down and they righted the ship. After it took on some water perhaps.

I wouldn't say their stock "tanked". But certainly it is down this week, and they are attempting damage control. Apparently they didn't know who their actual customers are. I hope their stock DOES tank.

Fugg Goodyear! iIcan't wait to get them off my Ford F-150. Goodyears are the stock tires on Fords, we should all write Ford and tell them we won't buy another Ford if they have Goodyears on them!

They didn’t rescind anything and their clarification showed the truth of the original accusation as they ban, “political campaigning for any candidate or political party, as well as similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of racial justice and equity issues.”In other words BLM & rainbows aren’t the same as political speech or even advocacy like blue lives matter and therefore acceptable. To your point, if they made a 180 I’d put them on my list of acceptable brands but fact is they are bending the knee to the communists and won’t get my business. They’re free to whatever Corp policies they like and I’m free not to spend my money on their stuff. Did the same w/ Dollar Shave Club when they announced they’d be giving money to BLM and told them so.

I don't agree with what they find acceptable and not acceptable.

Goodyear sucks. Never bought one in my life. Any vehicle they came stock on, they were replaced with Michelin or Firestone when it came time for new tires. Couldn't care less what their policies are.

I was hoping to read they had done more than their initial response
They are still committed to seeing BLM support as valid in the workplace while "political" statements like MAGA aren't allowed.

It's funny how this RUSSIAN news site has more actual news than all the MSM combined. I hope Goodyear stock tanks and their dealers give corporate hell.
TV has become nothing more than the Petri dish where this country grows its idiots.

I would like to agree with you, however, my suspicion tells me they just backpedaled publicly..... which means their view didn't change, they just suddenly realized that it was a bad idea to say it out loud. I won't be buying any simply based on their views, whether they make them public or not. I'll stick to my Coopers.
I sure could go for some $2.50/gal gas and a mean tweet!

What are you talking about, they make a tire and I choose to buy or not to buy. It doesn’t get any more free than that. No one stripped them of their ability to do a damn thing.

Somebody made a really stupid decision without regard for shareholders. They have shown their true colors. And they accused a large portion of their employees of being racist or they wouldn't have tried to shove this bullshit down their throats.

Interesting, that quote there “political campaigning for any candidate or political party, as well as similar forms of advocacy [b]that fall outside the scope of racial justice and equity issues. well then, what I said about them rescinding their position appears to be null and void, doesn't it. I'd stick with boycotting them then, if they don't consider advocacy that promotes "racial justice and equity issues" political campaigning of as similar nature as a MAGA hat. Apparently, in this case, my feelings that the capitalist system worked are wrong. They didn't go far enough in listening to their customers, at least that segment that will quit buying for them,. Just like sports, politics and business are strange bedfellows, eh? Might be interesting to see who sits on their Board of Directors. I'm guessing there might be a couple of generally "conservative" folks, who as I mentioned are voting along profit making lines, not moral lines. And for all we know they voted against or abstained on the original proposal and were outvoted. I'll read the article closer the next time. Maybe if you former Goodyear buyers continue to let them know how you feel, and contact Ford and other OEM users, and get your LEO's and county road depts on board, then perhaps there will be a full rollback of their policies.
