Yet you "conservatives" will sit by and continue to take this because you still don't get it.

"Well that's their right"

"Find a new internet...."

In the end, you are a modern day Neville Chamberlain.


quote:

NASCAR driver Conor Daly lost his endorsement from Lilly Diabetes for something his father said 30 years ago.

Now it is not what you say but what family says too.

Good grief Charlie Brown.

Corporations can do what they want. He can just go create his own multi billion dollar stock car racing association if he doesn’t like it.

Lilly Diabetes has pulled its sponsorship of Conor Daly’s No. 6 car in the NASCAR Xfinity race at Road America, citing a racially insensitive remark made by the driver’s father in the 1980s that surfaced this week.

You sound angry. It is Saturday morning and no one cares about NASCAR.

I don't blame Lily.

Sponsoring and then cancelling a sponsorship because of "muh racism" will net them 100x more publicity than maintaining a Nascar sponsorship.

Was probably designed this way tbh.

If potential donors to your charity are likely to want him gone, you get him gone. That simple.

If the bill of rights was only intended to apply to the government, can one individual violate the constitutional rights of another? Something to consider. Since it has already been determined that corporations are "people", such discussion would invariably extend to them.

Of course they can....?

What right is being infringed upon in this situation?

The question I have is what do you want to do about it? I am not going to shite all over my defense of business and want more government involvement because my "side" is losing.
