| [BB4SP] The NFL purposefully choosing “Gold Star Mothers Day” to have their own protest that is the most hateful, vile, disrespectful action, I have ever seen in my lifetime. All my respect and admiration goes to Allan Jones. Hardwick Clothing is America’s oldest suit maker. In his statement, Jones said, “Our companies will not condone unpatriotic behavior!” The Times Free Press reported: Two years ago, Cleveland, Tenn., businessman Allan Jones was proudly showing off his newly acquired Hardwick Clothing-brand suits by providing the wardrobe for NBC’s on-air talent during the network’s broadcasts of NFL football games. But after NFL players and coaches challenged President Donald Trump and many took a knee during the national anthem played before their games over the weekend, Jones said he is through sponsoring the wardrobes or advertising on stations that air the National Football League. Jones, CEO of the payday lending chain Check Into Cash and owner of Hardwick Clothes — America’s oldest suit maker — tweeted his criticism and change of heart Tuesday. |

| #1 Yeah, but he's doing it on principle. It'll take a drastic ratings drop to get the big boys to pull their ads. They're far less interested in principle than the bottom line. They'll probably hold on for a while even after the ratings drop. But when they do go the NFL will be hurting very badly. |
