Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES - They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS. Get better tires for far less! (This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!).

There's always more to the story. That's if you want to believe in any news/reporting these days. Surely or maybe people will remove their Goodyear trailer tires & replace; as a good many have them.

Here's an article:

I'm done with them, besides I don't think they give a crap about the sportsman racer. But they may care about the sportsman's family car or truck when they notice sales falling off.

They said "Political Attire" is off limits but Black Lives Matter stuff is not political? WTF? They are going to regret that.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

Spokesperson Melissa Monaco makes it sound slightly different at the end of this article.

Every single day you rant and rave about "facts and truths" to everything you post here. Lets see the facts on this one. Can you prove to us that this slide wasn't created by some disgruntled employee? Can you prove to us that it WAS an approved Goodyear powerpoint slide?

I spoke in person this morning with the head of drag racing operations at Goodyear. I consider him a friend, and I do believe him when he tells me this ABSOLUTELY DID NOT COME FROM US!

One person made a post. Just ONE PERSON can have such an impact on a huge corporation. Think about all the people that could be hurting because of this one false claim. Only idiots like yourself are mindless enough to spread it. I'd be willing to bet if your tire brand was under fire, you would do a lot of fact checking before posting something so stupid publicly.

The trailer tires are the only Goodyears I own. Problem is what other reliable trailer tire is there

Trump tweeted about it so it must be true.....

Right.....

Probably will make the nightly news...

The White House version and then Goodyears version....

If the slide show picture is verified.....Goodyear has no spine like so many other gotta be Politically correct companies.

It's a disgrace....

NASCAR and Goodyear are pretty tight. It's quite possible that NASCAR and Bubba had a hand in all of this.

Looks to me like they are trying to do damage control now.

Goodyear release.
I find the last sentence in the second paragraph to be a spin. Read carefully and let me know what you think it says.

It's possible that the training and the response are both real. Wouldn't be the first time a plant put together its own training. Screwed the pooch on it, and had corporate correct them and make sure everyone was on the same page. The letters words are very carefully chosen and frankly quite vague. Designed to make a statement and say nothing that could possibly offend anyone. Damage control. I completely believe it wasn't a corporate policy. Doesn't even look like corporate designed.
