Goodyear has been pelted with social media tomatoes after an employee revealed that the tire company had introduced a new dress code that endorses Black Lives Matter merch but prohibits MAGA attire.

The controversy was sparked by a leaked photograph, taken at the company’s Topeka, Kansas plant, which shows a slide from a diversity training session.

The slide, titled ‘zero tolerance,’ has two columns in which acceptable and forbidden clothing items are categorized. Under ‘acceptable,’ Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride (LGBT) are listed. Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, MAGA attire, politically affiliated slogans or material were deemed unacceptable.

The presentation was reportedly prepared by the firm’s corporate office in Akron, Ohio.

So now I will add Goodyear to the Nike list along with NFL, NBA and MLB.

Goodyear

We would pick up tires at Chicago-O'Hare airport that came in by Air Freight. We had to stack them lying down on their sides in the truck. If they were on end they could develop a flat spot that would ruin them.

We would take those tires to Akron, Ohio.

Sometimes we would get racing tires and deliver them to Indianapolis Speedway. ;)

That vid is a lot like the county jail here.

They recently got some guy locked up here for a shooting in town. No idea if they found the gun or not.

Needless to say he will likely get a jury trial.

I was in the court house once when they had a jury trial going on. The Jurors were sitting in the hallway. I told one of them when I lived in Chicago I was called for Federal Jury Duty.

The prisoners were suing the guards for beating on them. As soon as they found out I worked for the State of Illinois I was dismissed.

One of the Jurors said, "Lucky you." LOL

Trump just ripped Goodyear's management at his presser.

I was called to jury duty. I was asked if I or my family ever had any dealings with law enforcement. I told them about my step-father, my uncle, my cousin and my cousin-in-law. They sent me home.
