Or someone at the NRA knee jerk reacted to false information or a misunderstanding, then the internet did what the internet does.

One way we could know for sure is if they release the product update announcement. Otherwise it is just two groups each asking to take their word for it.

The one thing that makes me believe Yeti on this was the NRA's release on the matter was so flippant towards them, literally saying they were reacting without all the information- then making their own assumptions as to why..

Quote
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. That certainly isn’t sportsmanlike. In fact, YETI should be ashamed. They have declined to continue helping America’s young people enjoy outdoor recreational activities. These activities enable them to appreciate America and enjoy our natural resources with wholesome and healthy outdoor recreational and educational programs.

This is turning into an absolute disaster for YETI. As I noted above, just take a glance at the Facebook comments and the responses on Twitter. They’re brutal.

A few days ago, Ace Hardware was reputed to be withdrawing ads from the NRA. I sent an email. They wrote back very soon, claiming it was not true.

If YETI had come out and said it was a miscommunication or an error I might have bought it.  No, they came out and said the NRA lied.

IMO what happened is the marketing people were reviewing and the liberals in the dept questioned their relationship with the NRA.   They are based on Austin, TX after all.    So the marketing people decided to drop the NRA.   The NRA responded and the marketing department went into PR crisis mode.   But the people making the decisions were still the 2nd amendment hating Austin liberals in the marketing dept.  The YETI response does not read like one of contrition or eagerness to work with the NRA.

Every other high end competitor of YETI has put out a statement signed by their CEO.  YETIs statement is not signed.

What the Rochester did they think their primary customer base would react.  Someone in the Yet I marketing dept is going to be looking for a new job.

@Wingnut
I doubt they even thought of their customer base.   I've had marketing people who wanted to write articles calling out Google and Microsoft.  Some of them have absolutely no common sense.

That sounds like a very logical explanation of events.  And you're right...it IS Austin.
