Ford motor company has expressed it's supports the NFL players free speech and peacefully protest rights in the on going NFL players protesting during the playing of the national anthem.
A company statement said; "We respect individuals' rights to express their views, even if they are not ones we share," "That's part of what makes America Great."
This support of the NFL players and opposition to Trump and those who see the "take a Knee" protest as disrespecting the flag/national anthem/military. Is well.....Perhaps not what Ford may like the politically correct world to think it is.
Lets not forget President Trump called out Ford during the campaign for it's (Ford) building an automotive assembly plant in Mexico. Is Fords support of the protests during the playing of the national anthem tainted by the possibility that this support is simply an opportunity to get even with Trump?
You be the judge.
The NFL and now it's advertisers/supporters are on thin ice. Come down on the wrong side of this and billions of dollars are lost. Miss read/understand why people see a protest during the playing of the national anthem as disrespectful of the flag at your own risk.
