So here is a company that more than likely relies on a lot of us outdoorsmen and women for the bulk of their business and then they make this genius decision.
I have one for sale if anyone wants it. I buying Orca

The NRA is publicly naming and shaming companies who won’t give them money now

Gunowners supply yeti with nearly 85% of their revenue.

It's a terrible business move.

Nearly every single poll shows Americans are 50/50 on how they view the NRA. It isn't a good business move to take a stand on something that divides so many people.

RIP YETI and their douchey / over priced products.*

*Full disclosure is I received a cup as a gift and drink out of it in the office.

Over priced and overrated. Dumb move though. Why do you need a Yeti if someone is opening it every 2 minutes to get a beer. Some folks are just brand snobs. Good luck YETI

yeti has been taking advantage of rednecks for a long time.

I'm curious to see if Duck Commander cuts ties with Yeti.

I think the bloom may be off that rose - I don't think they are worth anywhere near the $$$$ they cost. Never bought one, but know a few who have. Insanely overpriced except for some very specific application like very long trips away from ice replenishment. 90% of the purchasers are just buying the name prestige and the decal for the back of their trucks.

It could be they want to expand their market into the thumb-sucking class. Lots of them have lots of money they've been wasting on other worthless shite like Starbucks, etc.

Won't support yeti or the NRA. The NRA for trying to get bump stocks banned.

Gun Owners of America is where it's at. They do not cave on the 2nd amendment at all

I'm definitely confused by this business decision. Ain't a whole lot of people buying Yeti coolers to keep their Merlot and cheese plates cold.

This is disappointing (Yeti is Aggie created).
Those cats need to move outta Austin, post haste.
Check yourself, Yeti.


From here on, RTIC for me.

Have they taken a stand though? I don’t see any public comments from YETI on why it had to pull its money. The NRA is putting them on blast and they don’t even know why.

If I’m a company that is considering sponsoring the NRA, I’m taking note of how they’re behaving here- like an angry beggar.

Nope.

Suddenly, without prior notice, YETI has declined to do business with The NRA Foundation saying they no longer wish to be an NRA vendor, and refused to say why. They will only say they will no longer sell products to The NRA Foundation.

Wrong my friend if I'm a company I'm taking notice to who is their base support is coming from which will tells me who has the potential to buy my products. This move will cater the lefty freak show who nevers spend a minute in the woods or on a lake using a cooler.
Their too busy rioting, picketing, protesting, not paying taxes, not working, smoking tree,. Ya da ya da ya da. Liberal are truly the dumbest people on earth and I'm sure it was a liberal that made this decision.

yup, no were close to what Jackson and Sharpton did
quote:

Jackson said, "With a hope to hold large banks accountable, the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, which sponsors the summit, plans to attend the shareholder meetings of the top five banks in 2010 and encourage Congress to pass laws for more stringent regulation and oversight."
