North Face goes Bud Lite
North Face to Bud Lite
"Hold my beer"
So Bud Lite loses $110 million in sales and billions in stock value, Target drops a bomb on itself, and now North Face joins the fun.

How a commercial that has a man, complete with mustache, prancing around in rainbow gear and platform shoes will sell more outdoor gear is beyond logic. Not a single piece of North Face gear in the ad.

North Face, REI, Columbia, etc. all lean lefty, primarily due to their vested interest in National Parks, all things outdoors, which leads them down the road to climate issues, etc.
Can't boycott them all, but I do try to pick and choose the lesser of the evils.

Learn what. They are just giving people a voice. I am all for it. I support all. People are just narrow-minded. Who cares.

To all the closed-minded think a man define by something he does and what he acts like just needs to open their mind.

The things people in The Villages get their panties all twisted over! I seriously doubt we are the target demographic for North Face.

If you want to be a clown, great. Just don't expect me to buy a ticket to your circus!

This is probably just a fad or the cause du jour. Remember #metoo, occupy Wall Street, etc?

Woodbear-Agree! As for not being able to boycott or not buy from all of these companies, not true. Very easy to not buy from these companies, and I have added Nike, delta airlines, Coca Cola, Disney, and many others to the list. There are many alternatives to each of these companies, and most of the alternatives are better
