I don't think the Ronaldo thing applies here. No WOKE angle to it unless I'm missing something.BattleCorp wrote: »Christiano Ronaldo was doing a press conference. There were bottles of Coca Cola on the desk in front of him as advertising for Coke. UEFA got paid by Coca Cola to have them there. He moved them, replaced them with a water bottle and made a quip along the lines that he/people should only drink water.
Coca Cola shares dipped 4%.
Will it make any difference long term, nope.
I think where Coca Cola got into trouble was them coming out against the recent Jim crow esque voting laws in Georgia/Texas and other Republican states.

There was the "Be less white" training slides that went viral, as Its not something I cant do, maybe their products arent made for meA belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

That diversity training certainly raised some eyebrows. :P

Did we ever actually get to the crux of why he did it.
I think we can probably put aside any possble WOKE angle so was he just on a health kick that day, lol?
I'd say he did it just because he can, also maybe because he was making a point that if they want this kind of endorsement they need to contribute to his retiring fund.0 -
You'd have thought that the pride flag, with its rainbow colours that symbolised the inclusion of everybody on the 'spectrum of sexuality' was representative enough, but no.
I have to say that I thought it was quite depressing to see the fervent uptake of the 'new rebooted pride fleg' now with 30% more intersectionality because symbols of unity that don't explicitly represent POC and especially the T in LGBT just isn't good enough!
I suspect the designer didn't anticipate this though...... :pac:1 -

As long as the LGBT community continues down this ridiculous path, I will no longer refer to myself as part of the community.
It's more like a political party these days.0 -

I swear I’ve seen that symbol before. The history channel, Germany, WW2 springs to kind for some odd reason.
Although it’s obviously not actually shaped like that at all.0 -

The rainbow flag was never originally meant to be inclusive. It was a flag to represent gays and their fight for rights so inclusion and exclusion had noting to do with it.
Now it represents a club where more and more and permitted to join and in that sense it's actually about exclusion i.e. YOU are not part of this club unless you qualify. I mean the Irish flag represents Ireland, it would ridiculous f were to change to represent some other country for the sake of being inclusive.
It is no wonder the likes of Hungary are passing anti-lgbt laws when the see this kind of nonsense going on the West. And while I'm at it a whole MONTH devoted to pride makes me cringe. A month ffs.0 -

That's not the fireworks, that's the air quality!
Or is it racist to say 'people of colours aren't as good as breathing as whites'?Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
