Yee haw.

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

Conservatrash gonna be trash.

[ηєω ƒяσηтιєя]

How else would he have owned the libs?

[pops]

what a pussy

[Ban my account ffs!]

Literally everything Republicans say about liberals or Democrats.. is projection.  An angry accusation to the "enemy" of a personal characteristic about themselves that they hate.

[dead0man]

this is way dumber than the Nike ad

[ProudModerate2]

what a pussy

[Beet]

This sort of thing only serves to rile up the liberals. But it's interesting that they only care about offensive behavior when it offends certain people.

[Joe Biden 2024]

First the College of the Ozarks. Now Kenner, Louisiana. I hope Nike will recover from losing these absolutely crucial customers.

[Landslide Lyndon]

He must be one of those dumb Southerners Trump was talking about.

[Hammy]

Anybody else seeing the irony that all these whiny conservatives are doing nothing but giving them free publicity, same as they said the Chick-fil-a boycott did?

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

I just love the honesty of Trump-era Republicans.

While they doubtless thought it, before Trump no elected member of the modern GOP would have come right out and admitted that when Republicans say 'free speech' what they mean is "you must listen to us even in private, and we will use the government to punish those who say things we do not like".

[DINGO Joe]

I wish Nike made one of those giant foam hats in the shape of the swoosh.

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

This can't be legal. Right?

[J. J.]

I think this is just as silly as when a liberal does it. 

[Lord Admirale]

Irrelevant mayor of Nowheresville, LA does bad thing. More at 11.

[Mr. Reactionary]

This can't be legal. Right?

Probably not without some sort of legislative act. Most laws relating to public procurement prohibit localities from arbitrarily excluding firms from offering bids in this manner, and if Nike happens to have the lowest or most economical bid there are usually very limited reasons why a locality could reject that bid.

WHAT ABOUT OUR FREE SPEECH!?

[junior chįmp]

The news interviewed the Kenner city council about the ban:

[DINGO Joe]

the Mayor practices what he preaches

[Atlas Force]

What an appropriate town name...

Fun fact: this is Jeff Flake’s hometown. And yes, the town is named after his family.

[The Arizonan]

Louisiana is the only state in the continental US to not have counties.

The city mentioned in the article is in Steve Scalise’s district. How fitting.

[Fuzzy Bear]

We demand that municipalities divest themselves from all sorts of investments that support causes we disapprove of.  There were massive boycotts, including municipal boycotts, of North Carolina (over the bathroom bill) and Arizona (over the MLK holiday).  I'm not down with any of these boycotts, but I also don't see how how this Mayor's action is any more or any less ridiculous than the Bathroom Bill Boycott.
