'I observed a player getting a personal foul for twerking in the end zone after scoring. I guess that's much worse than disrespecting the flag and our national anthem.... h'mmmm. Isn't it his first amendment right to express himself, like an idiot, in the end zone?

THE THREE ADVERTISERS TO BOYCOTT, THE SPECIFIC PRODUCTS TO BOYCOTT, AND THEIR PARENT COMPANIES



LAUNDRY DETERGENT: Tide – owned by Procter & Gamble

SOUP: Campbell’s Soup – owned by Campbell’s Soup

BEER: Budweiser – owned by Anheuser Busch



Why these three?



Because they spend so much money with the NFL, just boycotting these three can SIGNIFICANTLY hurt the NFL’s pockets and force them to yield if they want to continue these financially beneficial relationships. In fact, Tide made a deal with the NFL to be a leading sponsor back in 2012. The deal is so large that, according to Anthony Crupi of Adweek, the “[f]inancial terms of Tide’s deal with the 32 NFL teams were not disclosed. And while P&G keeps a tight lid on the terms of its 2009 pact with the league, analysts estimate the CPG giant pays north of $100 million for the privilege of aligning its brands with the NFL.” This means that boycotting Tide and Procter & Gamble laundry detergents can potentially effect $100 million of the NFL’s revenue! Boom.



To be effective, however, CONSUMERS CANNOT BUY SIMILAR PRODUCTS MADE BY THE PARENT COMPANIES. Now, you don’t have to boycott ALL Procter & Gamble’s products, but if you boycott Tide, you must at least boycott ALL of Procter & Gamble’s laundry detergent. Because of this, below, I will provide you with a list of options of products that you CAN buy that these companies and their parent companies do NOT own. STICK TO THIS LIST! When in doubt, I’ve provided links to websites for the companies we will boycott so you can look up a brand to see if their parent company owns it.



Instead of Tide, you SHOULD buy:

Arm and Hammer, and Oxi Clean laundry detergents, both owned by Church & Dwight, Procter & Gamble’s competition.



Instead of Campbell’s Soup, you SHOULD buy:

Progresso Soup brands

Annie’s Soup brand

Both of these above brands are owned by General Mills, Campbell’s competition.



Instead of Anheuser Busch beers, you SHOULD buy:

Heineken – owned by Heineken company.

Other beers brands Heineken owns are:

Strongbow (ciders)

Tecate

Dos Equis



Also, consider that many CRAFT BEERS are now also owned by Anheuser Busch. Look carefully. Any craft beer with this label is independent, NOT owned by Anheuser Busch, and thus safe to buy:
