Subway franchisees are fed up with Megan Rapinoe’s TV ads

"I had a bunch of franchisees calling me on this today," a lawyer who represents Subway franchisees told The Post earlier this week. "They are trying to get the ads pulled."
Berecz didn’t respond to requests for comment. Subway also didn’t respond to requests for comment.
"They probably wanted more splashy advertising to go along with more splashy foods," said John Gordon of Pacific Management Consulting Group, which advises restaurants. "We are so politically divided in this country and Subway should have done more careful due diligence, without a doubt, before choosing [Rapinoe]."

Rapinoe this year has inked other endorsement deals besides Subway, including a tie-up with Victoria’s Secret in June.

ETA: Bread ingredient also found in shoe soles.

People who eat out are repulsed by people like her. Subway is bland anyway.

They went from a rapist to a rapin-hoe.

I don’t understand advertisers logic on choosing someone like that. Why use someone polarizing to sell your product?

Basically every sandwich they make tastes the same - just like the store smells.
Not many people go out of their way for a $14 sub sandwich that only tastes like the bread it's made on

Brady sucks just as much. Both are eye rollers.

Any company that would chose Megan Rapinoe as its advertising representative has a corporate culture that is irredeemable. In putting Rapinoe as the face of their company, Subway has shown a willingness to hire someone who expresses contempt for this country and who is so insulting to many Americans and, subsequently, many of its potential customers. The only solution is to discontinue doing business with Subway. It is unfortunate that there are many franchisees linked to a national brand that is so out of touch with (and willing to openly insult) so many of its customers, but the only solution is to hit this brand where it hurts--i.e., in its bottom line.
One alternative: a Subway franchise could post signs clearly disavowing the advertisements of its national corporate office. Supporting a Subway franchisee who does this might be a viable choice.

Quoted for being well said.

What is the point of the shoe sammich?

I never ate at Subway often.
But given the choice of a burger or subway, I’d usually choose Subway.
Since they started the lesbian soccer player ads, I have not eaten there.
It’s probably not wise to irritate your customers when you have a mediocre product.

You'd think they would have leaned from the Jared fiasco. Would you like chips and a drink to 'make it a meal?' frick subway

Very well said, but I think it is in the best interest of franchisees to get a whole picture on company culture before inking that contract. I know franchises are small business and I am all for helping small business, but in the end you are what the sign on the door says you are and that's where people see their money going.
