Emerging story

In August 2020, world-famous tire company Goodyear came under fire due to an image leaked from an anonymous employee (seen below) which showed the company’s stance on politically affiliated clothing and accessories.

According to the image, as well the anonymous source, Goodyear is discriminatory between which political apparel can be worn and which is banned. Both the Black Lives Matter and Make America Great Again (MAGA) movements are undeniably political, so it appeared to many that Goodyear was choosing sides instead of banning all political materials.

As a result, President Trump has called for a boycott of all Goodyear products. The sentiment has been echoed by many users on social media who found the discrimination insulting.

However, some users took a different stance, pointing out what they view as Trump's hypocrisy.
