In response to Yeti coolers telling the National Rifle Association it no longer wants to do any more business with the NRA Foundation, one company sent a not-so-subtle message to its customers to reassure them on where it stands on the Second Amendment.
In an email to its members on Friday, the NRA said Yeti told it the company will no longer do business with its Friends of the NRA Banquet and Auction events:
---On Sunday, another company, RTIC Coolers, posted on its Facebook page one picture: the text of the Second Amendment.
(https://scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/q86/s526x296/31189972_1640663279322992_9031721284618158080_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=0fe7c4a67ca0c9c34666f43bb088a2ee&oe=5B516CB1)
The simple post has been well-received, with many users telling RTIC they will now be doing business with it instead of Yeti. Likewise, many users on Facebook have told Yeti it has made the wrong decision and that they will no longer be buying its products.

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.
It appears to me that YETI is in damage control mode. It turns out not doing business with an organization extremely popular with your customers is a really dumb idea.
Check back to see how this situation continues to evolve.

IMO Yeti, like many corporations no longer want to be associated with the NRA. They believe short term pain will better for long term gain.
I bet there is going to be a grownig list of companies not doing business with the NRA
-
The heat is on them. Here's the canned response I get back from them after I submitted a note of disapproval. Note the term they used about the NRA as 'outdated'.
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ago, YETI notified the NRA Foundation, as well as a number of other organizations, that we were eliminating a group of outdated discounting programs.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.

I saw their milquetoast Press Release. They declared their support of hunting, which does not equal support of the 2nd Amendment. The Amendment wasn't passed to protect against a deer revolt.

In a statement emailed to The Washington Post Monday night, Hammer said that it was “news to us†that Yeti dropped not only the NRA Foundation from the discount program but also other organizations.
“After three days Yeti issued a statement claiming they didn’t really drop the NRA Foundation,†she said. “They claim they simply eliminated the entire program affecting NRA Foundation and other unnamed organizations. Isn’t that like eliminating a job position so you can get rid of an employee?â€
She added that “Yeti decided the NRA Foundation can’t place any more orders and in fact they forced us to cancel orders they would not fill.â€
A representative for Yeti did not immediately respond to questions from The Post seeking a reaction to Hammer’s comments.

It Yeti really is still supporting the NRA, they could have very easily come back and said something like: "we have a contract with the NRA to provide ___ and are sponsoring _____ NRA events and supporting ______ programs." The fact that they didn't do that tells me that there is some weight to this story.

Sounds like Yeti pulled a stunt to placate the crazies, then tried to feed the rest of us bullcrap to try to placate us. That statement from Yeti being touted above as "vindication" is just baffling us with BS, rather than dazzling us with brilliance.

I believe one of them started the company RTIC and sold copies of YETI products. YETI sued and RTIC lost. RTIC can sell their current product but has to redesign all of their products.

That's what I do, too, except for one. When a new guy, gay, took charge of JC Penney, where I always bought their linens and had just outfitted a bedroom with their curtains and all bedding, this gay guy changed their catalog. I got one with all gay men in various poses together throughout the catalog - no women in it. Then, I got one with all gay women in it in various poses together, no men in it. Both were disgusting, and I called their central office, which is located in the Dallas area, and told them never to send me a catalog again, and take me off their list.
I haven't bought anything from them since then. I cut up their card I had. I saw on line, their prices went up and the linen department was much more expensive and choices were much less than they had before.
I hated that happened because I bought so much from them through the years before this gay guy changed them, making "gay" their reason for existing and trying to get my money for their gay agenda. I don't know what their financials are today, whether they are doing fine or struggling to remain alive.
That is the only time I have done that to a company. Don't invade my house with gay catalogs and that is what I told the JC Penny person I talked to.

My local JCP is a graveyard. I don't know how it stays open.
I need to correct myself, there's one thing I don't like to buy---pink-ribboned Susan Komen items. The other day at Kroger, when I was paying, the girl at the register--maybe 20 years old---asked me if I wanted to make a donation to breast cancer research. I asked if it was Komen, she said yes, and I replied no. The girl looked around to make sure she wasn't being overheard and said quietly, "I don't blame you."

There's nothing at all wrong with it if that's what you want to do, but it's okay if you don't. So many corporations lean left these days. A person could be left with a very short list of places to shop.

YETI Flagship Store Bars Concealed and Open Carriers, Then Backtracks
Posted March 27, 2017 in EDC, Legal Issues, Shooting by billj
http://www.alloutdoor.com/2017/03/27/yeti-flagship-store-bars-concealed-open-carriers-backtracks/ (http://www.alloutdoor.com/2017/03/27/yeti-flagship-store-bars-concealed-open-carriers-backtracks/)
"I was surprised to peruse the AustinGuns reddit and learn, via the inimitable Mike Cargill’s FB page (go follow him now!), that the local YETI Flagship store posted 30.06 and 30.07 signs outside their store in the city.
Says Mike:
So I called and spoke with their attorney. He said he wasn’t going to debate or discuss the issue and licensed holders are not allowed in the building. I guess they aren’t as pro gun as they say they are.
This move isn’t exactly on-brand for YETI, so Mike raised a stink, and after some back-and-forth the company relented. They blamed the “no guns†policy on the attached bar, but the signs, which prohibit concealed and open carry and aren’t cheap, were also preventing carry inside the store.
Final Update: I would like to thank YETI for listening to its customer base.
The bar is operated by a third party company called Cooler Concessions. So we can’t carry in the bar because it is 51%. But there are no longer 30.06 or 30.07 signs that prohibit carry inside the store. They are now fully compliant with Texas law while still respecting lawful citizens.
At any rate, as of recently tonight YETI has done the right thing and pulled the signs. The ill will lingers, though. I recommend an in-store discount for anyone who shows up packing as a way to smooth things over."

YETI vs the NRA, It’s About More Than Discount Coolers

Yeah, the backlash has been swift and painful for YETI, and whoever in the boardroom decided to do whatever they did in today's charged political climate, whether it was innocent or not, really blew it and in the process, helped make a massive statement to the PC crowd and gun-grabbers. More importantly, this sends a message to any other company that thinks they might want to piss off gun owners after pretending to be one of us.
This fiasco is far more significant than a cooler.
I believe this whole dust-up sends the needed signal that we're sick and tired of the attacks on our way of life. We're fed up with being called murderers by 16-year-old teenagers, and we're tired of being spat upon by a bloodthirsty media quick to push the anti-gun narrative. In this case, the message is clear: If you pretend to be one of us then decide to play politics with our loyalty to your brand you will be dealt with swiftly and severely. You will find that this blade has two sharp edges and cuts both ways. The mere appearance of abandoning support for millions of NRA members (read: any lawful gun owner) who have been loyal customers will have painful results.

In most M&A activity the previous owner may stay on in a leadership role but usually large investors have their own management team they want to install. IF there is a transition period then he might be given a role.
The bean counters who do this (think Romney) don't place a lot of value on people unless they have a unique skill set or are associate with the brand.
Regardless it doesn't matter. YETI has had plenty of opportunity to clarify their position. They obviously don't think they need to and believe this storm shall pass.

Yes, I do indeed understand what happens as I have been involved in multiple takeovers like that myself as an Economist.
What i was replying to was a comment that said that, the head of the subsidiary YETI was not running that subsidiary at all. I challenged that statement as it was drawn from no facts whatsoever.
Whatever stupid, business-damaging thing YETI has done was done by either prior management or new management. It is not neccessarily just new mgt.

I agree. Many of those who procure wealth forget basic tenants on how they were able to obtain that wealth and discharge agendas which conflict with that tenant.
This country is littered with examples of such, from NFL kneelers trying to destroy their enterprise to any number of companies who embrace minority causes to take on the latest liberal points.

They do more ($4.4M average) per year...in SIX days, what other national fast food brands can only dream of doing with SEVEN.
Chic-Fil-A has several things going for it>
1) They were family oriented from the start,not as an add on.
2) They are item specific, all of the "food" items on their menu center around Chicken. No fish, burgers, hot dogs, etc...They do chicken
3) The employees are the absolute friendliest and most polite I have ever seen.
4) Every one of their stores I have ever been in is spotless.
5) They train the heck out of their employees and they really work together as a team.
Five guys is following a similar model, but I think Chik-Fil-A does it a hair better.

All true, @verga ! :patriot:
I was thinking about the failed boycott attempt by the Left, after the Chic-Fil-A CEO opined that a marriage was between a man and a woman.
The subsequent lines of customers often went outside the door and around the building. (Just like the constant line at the drive thru window at the location around the corner from where I live)

Previously the nearest one was about 22 miles away, coincidentally right near the "Aldi's" that my wife loves. Last month my wife found out they are opening one of each along with a "Bojangles" about 6 miles from us. Vergette did her happy dance over that news.

I couldn't help it. I placed a Yeti order today.
I ordered a .358 YETI Barrel for my AR from Mad Dog Weapon Systems.
