I’m glad that there’s at least this one article admitting to the fact that the AFA boycott might have something to do with their huge drop in sales. Yes, Fords are crappy cars, but people have been complaining about Ford’s crappy cars since back in the 80′s with the cute addage “Found On Road Dead” came about. Since their cars have been crappy for so long, but their profits only recently started dropping – at the same time as the boycott started – I have to believe that the boycott is what affected their bottom line.
Here’s the reality – AFA was not asking for all the execs to get saved and hold 24 hour prayer vigils in their offices!! AFA was only asking them to take a “non-commital” stance on the subject of homosexuality – in other words, all they had to do to avoid this mess was say “We don’t support or deny homosexual rights. We make no particular stand in this area.” THAT’S ALL THEY HAD TO DO!
They are a business, not a place of social reform. If the execs wanted to make social changes in America, they should’ve done it on their own time and their own dollar. Instead their going down and taking blue collar jobs down with them.
I support the AFA boycott.
