J-150 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Ford is dumb. They should not be taking any political position. Whether they agree or disagree, silence is less likely to offend customers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmco76 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Absolutely, Ford should allow you to take a knee to protest.They should also have safe places for employees to go to when their supervisor berates them for making a mistake, such as leaving a part off, being late from break, etc. We as Ford employees, like the Ford owned Lions, feel oppressed and see the inequality with things like AWS, mandatory overtime, and reduced benefits. How about it brothers and sisters, who with me? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they agree or disagree, silence is less likely to offend customers. I'm with you. Why did they even feel the need to say anything at all. You know what they say, don't offer up any information unless asked. Also, their biggest seller is the F series and look at who buys these trucks.

pmooret Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 After all the hooplah it was revealed that Colin Kaepernick has never ever voted and has never been registered to vote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteeyes Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Great, Ford stock is already in the tank, Now every radio station is basically saying people should not buy Ford products. I bet all the military vets who work for Ford are really proud of their stand. This could hurt worse than Firestone, Thanks for standing with 90% of Americans, I hope the board of directors does something to lessen the damage. No more NFL for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Buster Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Not only no more NFL, but unless there is an about-face, no more FoMoCo for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdegrand Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 One of the main culprits is Martha Firestone and her big hatred towards our president. She couldn't care less how her negative comments could affect our sales. She sits in her mansion and is financially comfortable because of her name! Hopelessly confused and close minded!

Redwings_rule Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I guess all you guys are for the mistreatment of African Americans by police. Real nice stance to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmco76 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Hey Redwing, you have been watching and listening to much of the mainstream media. The media is now trying to divide this country. Facts show shootings of AA are way down. With camera phones and social media everything is put on the internet.Everything I have ever seen or heard, the suspect never obeys the command of the officer. If they would have they would be alive today. The problem is there is no respect for authority. Whether that be the police, teachers, and even their own parents. I believe most people are against the mistreatment of people. I wish I could say all people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Don't try to convince him. He's clearly made up his mind that we are all a bunch of racist assholes. You can't change the mind of someone like that no matter how much facts you throw at them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I guess all you guys are for the mistreatment of African Americans by police. Real nice stance to have. And I guess you are casting every law enforcement officer as a racist POS. Perhaps you should do your own research into the statistics before you do that. Better yet, why dont you look into doing a ride along with a PD to see what its really like to work the streets. You have no idea what these men and women do on a daily basis, nor how professional they are in very challenging situations, which didnt just start because of all the cameras. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real nice stance to have.No If a person wants to protest an injustice they can grab a sign and stand on a street corner like everybody else. Protesting and taking a knee during the National Anthem are two different things. Standing for the National Anthem doesn't make me a cheerleader for "mistreatment/oppression" it only means that I choose a different more productive avenue to pursue for any protest that I may have. This will all pass over shortly as it has now started to affect their ratings and the pocketbooks will follow!
