Goya is going to be Chick-Fil-A on steroids.

Their business is going to double as a result of the "boycott".

So i cant understand why anyone would stop shopping at a shop because of political beliefs or similar and i doubt there is any person on the board who has done it in this instance.

So I'll go the opposite end and ask you why would you magically start shopping somewhere because of a boycott?

Because we disagree with the boycott.

I think both are being silly.

Because I want to show support to a company that is losing money to a boycott.

I also participate in boycotts. I never eat at McDonald's or watch NBA games though my standards for starting a personal boycott are pretty high. McDonald's has glorified people who have killed cops and those who have attempted to kill cops. The NBA is supporting the human-rights abuses in China. If the CEO of Coke comes out and says they want Biden to be president, I'd still buy Coke over Pepsi.

This guy started a Go Fund Me and will be using the profits to buy directly from Goya and have the food shipped to DC area food banks.

Here is the story.

I generally don’t go in for boycotts. I’m a whoever is selling what I want at the best value, free market guy. But when there is an organized boycott over something I find this ridiculous, I’ll give that company some business if I can.
You’d have to be pretty extreme in annoying me to boycott if I buy/watch your product already. For example if nfl players stand for the black national anthem and kneel for the actual national anthem, I’m not watching. We’ll see what happens with the nba and slogans on the jersey. But if someone wears free Hong Kong on their jersey, I’m going out of my way to watch him

Agreed. I have a soccer Israeli soccer jersey in my closet from that team that changed their name to support Trump. I've never sat through an entire soccer match except for the girls soccer games back in college and that was for a very specific reason.

Oberlin College, one of the most whacko, libtard schools around did the same thing to a small family owned business. 3 students shoplifted there, then beat the crap out of an employee when caught. Students staged a mass boycott/protest for God knows what reason and the business decided to sue the college when it was apparent they were aiding the students boycott which was impacting their business.

Business sued and won an 11 million dollar settlement in a rare victory for the good guys.

As with Goya, folks were going out of their way to buy goods there.
