"* saying it will no longer sell goodyear products.

The post was met with some push back online.

Virgil's tells kimt the business's stance is not about politics ?

"* but abot supporting law enforcement and all lives.

I think they just wanted to grab the political portion of it and wanted to either hate trump or love trump and that wasn't the point.

Even on the love trump portion, or the hate trump portion, that wasnt the point.

The point was we support law enforcement, and we support every life.

We don't care what color you are, we don't care what race you are goodyear's ceo says the slide was made by a topeka employee and was not approved or distributed by goodyear corporate.

The company says it will allow employees to wear attire supporting law enforcement ?
