[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3407993, member: 24500"] They did state that the slide wasn't a corporate item, but that doesn't mesh with what the Goodyear guy in our poker game said last night. He's pretty high on the local ladder. GY is rolling back their stance because of the backlash. They made a bad decision at the corporate level and instantly saw it turn sour. I somewhat agree with you about the boycott. Even if Trumpeteers manage to bancrupt the company, corporate guys that perpetrated this will still get their millions, it's the blue collar working class that'll end up screwed as always. I don't think a boycott is going to affect them much. Everything blows over in time. Look at Firestone. They knowingly sold tires that exploded at speed, and they're one of the largest chain of tire shops in America. Until the manufacturers dip out of contracts with Goodyear, they'll be fine. Plus, people just don't have principals like they used to. Just like Dick's and CheaperThanDirt, people will still buy the product because they're cheap and widely available. [/QUOTE]
