Florida Alert: YETI Drops NRA Foundation

[SMS]

All these morons posting videos of themselves blowing up and shooting yetis are just adding to the negative stereotype. Good job guys.

It would be pretty funny if YETI really dropped the NRA due to the NRA not fully supporting gun owners.

 

[Batman47]

Just informed them will never support or but there products.

Lol, does everyone love YETI and hate the NRA now?

The NRA Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and not the same as “THE NRA” 501(c)(4) directly involved in political action.

Thanks for the clarification.

As received from YETI a few moments ago:
We're writing in response to your recent email inquiry.

A few weeks ago, YETI notified the NRA Foundation, as well as a number of other organizations, that we were eliminating a group of outdated discounting programs. When we notified the NRA Foundation and the other organizations of this change, YETI explained that we were offering them an alternative customization program broadly available to consumers and organizations, including the NRA Foundation. These facts directly contradict the inaccurate statement the NRA-ILA distributed on April 20.

Further, the NRA-ILA stated in that same public communication that "[YETI has] declined to continue helping America's young people enjoy outdoor recreational activities." Nothing is further from the truth. YETI was founded more than 10 years ago with a passion for the outdoors, and over the course of our history we have actively and enthusiastically supported hunters, anglers and the broader outdoor community. We have been devoted to and will continue to directly support causes tied to our passion for the outdoors, including by working with many organizations that promote conservation and management of wildlife resources and habitat restoration. From our website to our film footage and from our social media posts to our ambassadors, YETI has always prominently featured hunters pursuing their passions. Moreover, YETI is unwavering in our belief in and commitment to the Constitution of the United States and its Second Amendment.

Thanks for reaching out to YETI.

Someone in the PR Department in YETI is getting fired! The backlash against YETI started on social media Friday night and really took off over the weekend. Yet, YETI waits until Tuesday afternoon to send an email to customers and to the Washington Post? Absolutely ridiculous! If it was a "misunderstanding" as YETI claims, YETI should have been in front of this over the weekend instead of waiting until Tuesday.

I never bought into the yeti BS hype. Overpriced stuff. You can get the very same quality stuff at wally world for $14.00. And don't even try to say that Yeti mus are better and keep your drink colder. Thousands of people know better.

I've never bought a Yeti product AFAIK, but all stainless thermo cups/tumblers are NOT created equal.

My wife has Alzheimer's and has trouble seeing and spilling stuff in a tall glass. So I bought her a short/squat stainless cup (with a cup handle) at Walmart.

She didn't much care for it, and I didn't understand why until I drank something out of it. It tastes terribly metallic (practically enough to set your teeth on edge).

My stainless cup/tumbler purchased from gmar has no such taste.
