Target, NFL, NBA, Dickies Sporting Goods.
I haven't been interested in Under Armor sporting goods since I saw a commercial, about ten years ago, making fun of a White teenager because he was interested in getting an education.

Avoid the regular stores. The WMT markets have totally different people working in them.

At least the one near me does.

eta-Did a bit more searching and see they are related. At that, don't really care. Your vid was from 2019 and apparently those in the vid were taken care of.


Fantastic.

I'll still not buy from them them.

Disney (I have been doing this for a while)
Drew Brees ("say her name")
Anheuser-Busch (only recently)
Target (only recently)


It is a given (even though I don't understand it) that most large corporations feel a need to do the gay pride stuff. I could deal with that.....but when they start supporting the "chicks with dicks"/trans/non-binary/drag queen/etc. stuff then I am tapping out.

No longer drink Bud, wife stopped shopping target, cancelled disney +, rarely watch NFL. There are easy replacements out there. At some point you have to vote with your pocketbook. If a company stays out of politics they get a pass but if they actively pursue some dumb shite I’m out

Target, and if there is any other option available, I don't shop in Jackson because of the lack of respect they show for my tires and truck suspension by not fixing the 28,937 potholes, some of which are multiple years old. I'm also no crazy with the elevated chance of getting shot on a parking lot or city street in Jackganistan.

Maybe not a boycott, but before going to NO, or Disney, I would make certain it was not Pride Week. However, I haven't been to Disney World for 20 years and don't subscribe to their channel or watch their movies, so I guess I am not hurting their bottom line enough to make a difference.

Visiting Biloxi/Gulfport during Black College Spring Break scares me so I might add that. Honestly, I love black folks, just try to avoid participating in their drinking parties. I am probably wrong, but it seems someone always gets shot when heavy drinking and black folks are mixed.

Honestly, I can't remember ever drinking a Bud Light and will probably continue drinking other brands.

I don't really boycott.
I just don't acknowledge their existence...
