NRA took a page out of the liberal playbook and whipped up an internet firestorm to show companies what happens if they don't appease the NRA in the future.

Touche.

The fact you posted this thread indicates that apparently, their choice of how to do this worked.


I don't know what you mean by saying that it worked. If anything it just makes these people look a lot worse. It's an empty gesture.

Somehow, I don't think you would have started this thread if they had just sent a nasty email to Yeti.



If the email blew up their own computer after sending it, then it would be just as interesting

It’s obviously to raise awareness and start a conversation.


But it's like something an angry child would do. Kid doesn't like the way his dad is treating him so he goes to school and punching someone in the face. Redneck doesn't like Yeti deciding to cut ties with the NRA so he blows one up.

Yeah, for once I agree with you on something. This is stupid.

They already have your money. They don’t care what you do with the ice chest. It’s just cutting off your nose to spite your face.

have a former student that works at Yeti HQ in Austin.

This student maintains that this was a complete miscommunication by the NRA. At no point did Yeti give money to the NRA. They provided some custom items for the NRA Foundation giveaway.

Yeti used to do some custom coolers and cups for the NRA and other organizations. They are still donating the items, but no longer doing the custom work. They have stopped doing this for everyone, not just the NRA.

I'm as conservative and pro 2A as they come, but this is insane.


Okay. That makes a lot more sense. Just goes to show you when people get all riled up without knowing the truth the dumb things that can happen.

They were actually making illegal SBRs but they're so ignorant of gun laws (as usual) that they didn't know it.

Liberals have no use for a Yeti cooler. This is a lose lose situation for Yeti


Yeti didn't have to say anything at all. Taking no action was the smart play. Why open your mouth? No gain, all loss.

They Kaepernicked themselves.

I agree that is also stupid but there is a small difference. I don't think many people were ever killed with Yeti Coolers.

I almost assume these are fake because I can't believe people are this stupid or emotional

have to be fake


Yeah. I started the topic on this board cuz I wanted to gauge how many people actually think this is a good idea. And thank God that it doesn't seem to be a very high percentage.

Yeah like blowing up expensive pieces of equipment over a misunderstanding. You're right. I would feel pretty stupid about that later.

I wouldn't buy a $500 cooler to begin with. I can buy a shitload of ice and put it in my cheap arse Styrofoam cooler for $500.
