What concerns me is this bothers you so bad. Is there anything in this article, or what it suggests that is going to affect your daily life? No...I didn't think so.

I stopped shopping at Nike over 20 years ago for what the founder knight was doing. I stopped using adidas tennis shoes last year because of their shoddy quality and they wouldn’t stand behind them. What they are doing now is just icing on the cake to never buy adidas. I have a long list of never do business with again for the actions they have done and it is growing daily. I have found better tennis shoes at better prices than adidas, these guys are not the only game in town, same goes for the beer, airlines, department stores, etc..
I was so happy to hear that nordstroms will probably be going under within the next 2 years. Their cancel culture backfired

Uh - I think you don't understand the term "cancel culture." Cancel culture is when a thing is boycotted, or rejected. It is what YOU are doing. YOU are cancelling groups, products, companies. That's you doing that.

What THEY are doing is the exact opposite of cancel culture: inclusion and diversity.

You're cancelling these things, because they include them and it upsets you I guess, even though it seems to have absolutely zero effect on you personally.

Better be careful some people think we have lost the right to have an opinion on stupidity like this.

I am already looking at it as a SAD "joke." No one took "Klinger" from Mash seriously and even in the series, he was not taken seriously by the other characters. He was a man dressing as a woman in an attempt to get a section 8 out of the military. Now, they do it to get attention. They have come out of the closet that they were in due to ridicule and now the folks that shake their heads and make comments about how ridiculous these folks are, must do so silently and anonymously, less being ridiculed. In my opinion, spotlighting deviant and abnormal behavior in order to celebrate it, is morally reprehensible. And there is a difference between tolerating and condoning. Cultural diversity is one thing to encourage; deviant diversity is not something to celebrate. Kind of like a friend telling me that the reason for GAY PRIDE parades is to gain respect for their lifestyle, as they prance around in extreme dress (or lack of) and makeup and act comically. He(IT) looked puzzled when I asked how looking ridiculous to the majority would gain "respect?" It would be fine with me if they keep their lifestyle choices private. But, I am old and more or less set in my ways. On the other hand, I have grandchildren that have similar reactions to weird. Thank goodness we have passed down the idea of tolerance, but have not forced acceptance or condoning. However, I do believe there is a limit to tolerance, and I don't think it is wise to push the majority into a corner with forced tolerance. Thank you for tolerating my opposing view to celebrating abnormal mental stability/diminished mental capacity. So far, I don't condone it but I will attempt to tolerate until I feel smothered by saturation.

Well, considering their sales are down 26%, I'd say they missed the boat on whatever "research" they did...

Personally, I think it was just a "let's show how progressive we can be" gambit that failed, miserably...

Bwahahaha!

Who do you think started the "cancel culture" wars? Inclusion and diversity, only if you agreed with us...

But now that they're getting a taste of their on medicine, it's suddenly a problem?

And they've added "tuck friendly" bikini bottoms in the women's swimwear department...

Aw, c’mon, manaboutown has now put a link to Breitbart! (Sp?). Wowzer, TOTV is now entering the Q zone.

Moderator, please wake up — I mean that literally not figuratively. We don’t need to have TOTV turn into just another pile of internet $#i+.

I admit, I attempted a little debate in a different thread. Lost cause. I went back and cleared out my last post.

Please make this circle….. stop.

Thank you.
