Goodyear bans blue lives matter and all lives matter messages while allowing BLM and LGBT. We need to get #BoycottGoodyear trending. They need to overturn this discriminatory police, apologize for it, and apologize for their support of a violent Marxist organization. pic.twitter.com/MYfnbvsEPo— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) August 19, 2020

The slide had your trademarked brand ID so who created it, and on whose authority and/or direction? https://t.co/1KFYbcz2VM

TOPEKA, Kansas - A Goodyear employee says the company has put out a new policy that has some calling it not equal for all.
A photo seen circulating on social media shows a slide that was presented during a diversity training showing what’s acceptable and what isn’t acceptable as part of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company’s zero-tolerance policy.
Under acceptable: Black Lives Matter (BLM), Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride.
Listed as unacceptable: Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, MAGA Attire, Political Affiliated Slogans or Material.
According to the employee who took the photo of the slide, it was presented at the Topeka plant by an area manager and says the slide came from their corporate office out of Akron, Ohio.
"If someone wants to wear a BLM shirt in here, then cool. I'm not going to get offended about it. But at the same time, if someone's not going to be able to wear something that is politically based, even in the farthest stretch of the imagination, that's discriminatory," said the employee under the agreement of anonymity due to fears they could lose their job. "If we're talking about equality, then it needs to be equality. If not, it's discrimination."
13 NEWS has reached out to Goodyear about the slide. They did not answer questions when asked if the slide was part of a training from their main office.
“Goodyear is committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace where all of our associates can do their best in a spirit of teamwork. As part of this commitment, we do allow our associates to express their support on racial injustice and other equity issues but ask that they refrain from workplace expressions, verbal or otherwise, in support of political campaigning for any candidate or political party as well as other similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of equity issues.”Melissa Monaco, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company
President Trump tweeted Wednesday morning calling for a boycott of the company, prompting the company to release a new statement.
Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES - They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS. Get better tires for far less! (This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!).— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 19, 2020
Goodyear stock is dropping faster than a BLM activist can Loot a Target store.— ๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ช (@Rockprincess818) August 19, 2020
Goodyear did NOT backtrack.— thebradfordfile™ (@thebradfordfile) August 19, 2020
Its corporate statement confirmed that their restrictions on workplace expressions relate to politics or advocacy “that fall outside the scope of racial justice.”
In other words, BLM is “acceptable.”
Just like the viral slide described.
Goodyear supports “racial justice” BLM which launders millions to the Democratic Party.— thebradfordfile™ (@thebradfordfile) August 19, 2020
See how this works?
I’d say BLM leaders avowing Marxism is pretty political.— LavenderLady (@LucyDi999) August 19, 2020
They are just rephrasing the same statement. They still support defunding police and burning looting and murdering (BLM). #tirechange— 4MoreYears (@frumpy_kat) August 19, 2020
@goodyear says they are not anti-police while they allow their employees to support BLM. A group attacking police, pulling white people from their cars, looting businesses, and of course burning buildings, bibles and who knows what else. Kudos to the person who exposed them.— Abigail (@Abigail92Straw) August 19, 2020
According to #Goodyear -— Rob Smith ๐บ๐ธ (@robsmithonline) August 19, 2020
Supporting BLM is amazing, but supporting law enforcement officers isn't.
Supporting the LGBTQ is great, but saying "Make America Great Again" isn't.
Who else is tired of the far-left putting EVERYTHING above supporting America?
Daily reminder that the inspirational guru behind BLM is literally a convicted cop killing domestic terrorist fugitive who is on the FBI's Most Wanted list.— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) August 19, 2020
I doubt this was mentioned in Goodyear's "diversity training" session. pic.twitter.com/PZkhOLNsIH
