Here's a novel idea... why don't we wait and see what is actually installed and sold in the stadium before we get our panties in a wad and head to our safe spaces?

The North was up for sponsorship and Grunt Style stepped up. The Jags have worked with them for years, Jax is heavily impacted by the military, and the crowds that hang in that area largely fit the demographic that Lamping showed yesterday. Like it or not, the military or connection is a big reason the Jags still exist. Bottom line, if the sponsorship of the North tanks, another will step in. They are short-term sponsorships. Of all the things in life to be outraged over, this falls off the bottom of the scale.

So they support the police, military and the flag. We certainly can't have THAT in our stadium now can we. </sarcasm>
Cool video. I'll have to follow them now.

One thinks you have no idea the difference between outrage and a hole in the ground.

Nah, brah, you're a snowflake and a classic example of one.
You're frigging offended by a t-shirt. Or offended that a business is allowing another business to pay their business to do business in their building. You're a snowflake.

I think either this company will need to limit some of their product or the Jags will be forced to cut ties with them. This could easily become a national story. I'm surprised the Jaguars would partner with them without attempting to cull some of the more "extreme" t-shirts. Three shirts stand out more than the others:
X Lives Matter
#WeAllBleedRed
The fastest way to a man's heart is 2970 ft per second (with an AR-15)
Drain the Swamp: With Presidential Strength
While it could be argued that the first is supposed to be a positive message, it is still a relatively taboo subject. The next is a political hot topic with the Parkland shooting still fresh in everyone's minds. The last is overtly political. The rest (that I saw) are a matter of taste. While, not my style, don't bother me. Imo, you don't want to let personal taste get in the way of sponsors, but you do want to limit messages that might alienate a part of your fan base. I am all for free speech, but this does not seem like a shrewd business decision by the Jags.

I'm sorry you are "disheartened" by people disagreeing with a branding decision. I didn't think it meant that much to people.
