Imagine a company saying they care more about the flag and anthem that racial injustice and police brutality.
That is what Phil Long Ford just did. They acknowledge that Von Miller is a good guy, but he is only a good black guy when they think he is shucking and jiving for them.
When he actually speaks out on real black issues this is what happens.
“We are evaluating the events of the weekend. It is important to state that we haven’t fired Von. We are in the middle of contract renewal and this weekend’s events remind us that sometimes we feel that we best represent ourselves. We support Von and his first amendment rights, we know Von and he’s a good person. He donated a police car to his hometown police dept. All that notwithstanding when we bring in celebrities to represent us we run the risk of being misrepresented.
“We, like millions of Americans are concerned and will respond consistently with our values as a proud American company founded by a war hero (Phil Long). While we can’t control the actions of others we can be responsible for how we support our nation and community.”
Of course they wouldn’t want to be represented as someone who actually cares about black people, why would they want that.
You can leave them some YELP reviews here, I urge you to do so.
