A very woke Goodyear tire company has reportedly banned employees from wearing anything MAGA or Blue Lives Matter related. But they ARE allowed to wear Black Lives Matter and LGBT attire, according to a leaked slide explaining this policy:
Here’s more:
13 NEWS – A Goodyear employee says the company has put out a new policy that has some calling it not equal for all.
A photo seen circulating on social media shows a slide that was presented during a diversity training showing what’s acceptable and what isn’t acceptable as part of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company’s zero-tolerance policy.
Under acceptable: Black Lives Matter (BLM), Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride.
Listed as unacceptable: Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, MAGA Attire, Political Affiliated Slogans or Material.
According to the employee who took the photo of the slide, it was presented at the Topeka plant by an area manager and says the slide came from their corporate office out of Akron, Ohio.
13 News contacted Goodyear and got this response:
“Goodyear is committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace where all of our associates can do their best in a spirit of teamwork. As part of this commitment, we do allow our associates to express their support on racial injustice and other equity issues but ask that they refrain from workplace expressions, verbal or otherwise, in support of political campaigning for any candidate or political party as well as other similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of equity issues.”
What garbage excuses they give for allowing leftist causes but silencing those on the right from supporting their causes. Completely shameful.
President Trump just responded to this on Twitter, telling people not to buy Goodyear tires:
Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES – They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS. Get better tires for far less! (This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!).

I really not a fan of the president calling for a boycott of a company. It would be better for him to tweet the story and talk about the injustice of it and let people make up their own minds about Goodyear products.
That said, he’s not wrong about this and Goodyear deserves whatever boycott backlash they get from this for being so blatantly unfair.
