Wes pulled sponsorship(s) and the free cars bc of our two social justice warriors...anyone heard this anywhere?

Short-sighted decision, if true.  A public statement would have sufficed.

Then again. it's not like Rydell needs the additional exposure of buying ad time/space at REA. Their brand is ubiquitous.

Next car dealer up.  Maybe Corwin or Luther wants some market penetration in GF?

Now you're just making things up to get angry about.  First thing first, let's let the rumor be confirmed, and then let's have the ad market dry up, and then you can fret.

Wondered why there was no rydell logo on the seat banner.

Sounds much like when the team was changing names how the sky was falling for the athletic department.

Auto sales are down big time now that people are working from home, its not like Rydell is in a recession proof industry.

If it's true sponsors pull money and explicitly state this is why, make sure to mention them here so people can make informed decisions with their discretionary spending.

I suspect where you think this might go isn't where it will go but carry on.

This statement is not even accurate.  Auto sales have been surprisingly strong during Covid and margins on trucks and other large vehicles have been as good as they have ever been.

If they pulled advertising it wasn’t cause of dollars.

If it’s true good for rydell

would make me more inclined to buy from them.

be it it BLM or me2 or any other woke group too many are afraid to express their feelings against these groups.’

Only because of low interest rates, which is where margins are made. The outlook for the industry is not good.

I don't want to sound harsh, but you're still wrong.  Things haven't been better in the almost ten years I've been in the industry, low interest rates or not.  It may be a bit of a bubble that will ultimately pop, but for now, it doesn't matter what the offers are, it's hard to keep inventory in stock.  This isn't the same story in other parts of the country, but around the Valley, life's good in the car industry.  The factory offers are very strong, so if you're interested in a car, it's a great time to buy a new vehicle right now.  Pre-owned car demand is also incredibly high with low inventory, so prices are a little higher than normal, but trade values also are as well which helps counter that.

Fair enough, I'm not in the industry, just basing it off blurbs I've read. Trucks selling makes sense as people move to resort towns and DIY home improvement soars.

Biggest loser from this kneeling???? The football program, they can’t afford to take a hit from donors. What productive things has this kneeling by two white boys done so far? Nothing but piss people off, and now oppressed the rest of the athletic department....

Relax. It's a rumor until shown otherwise. And it's one freaking sponsor.

If you're concerned about the fiscal health of UND Athletics, you'd better direct your energy elsewhere:  like Biden, Burgum, Armacost, Fauci, NCAA.  If the fan lockout continues much longer, Rydell's sponsorships are chump change between the sofa cushions.
