I'm sure they similarly prohibited all prior political logos.

On the scale of 1-10 of things to be upset about this is about a 0.1.

I do not golf so my opinion is probably worthless.
They're not restricting political speech; only the customers that order directly from Titleist are not able to put LGB customization on the golfballs. There are plenty of companies that customize golf balls that probably will do that.CCP Joe Veggie said:agracer said:

Wrong. Companies getting involved in restricting political speech is always something to be concerned about. People now know and can vote with their pocketbook. Personally, I hope Titleist goes bankrupt. Long shot I know, but one can dream.

Also, there's nothing stopping you going out and getting a golfball stamper that stamps Let's Go Brandon on the golfballs.

I am sure if the requests for messaging on these golf balls was anti trump they would have had the same stance? See that's the problem people have with all of this bs. It's totally one sided.
Yeah, making a big deal out of a company's decision not to sell dumb political **** is so awful.CCP Joe Veggie said:
Hate what this country has become.
Dont believe I've ever said businesses should be forced to serve gay people. We have plenty of cash and can go elsewhere, we aren't black people facing systemic housing discrimination in 50's. You guys love a gofundme for bigots, just keep on with that approach.Ukraine Gas Expert said:
Just bake the cake...right?
Well yeah, there are consequences for business decisions. Like maybe some of you don't buy golf balls from titleist in future. That is indeed how the market works.Ukraine Gas Expert said:
Nope, not trying to detail, rather providing an example of a political attack on a business performed by your team (left) that Literally put a woman out of business, or hurt her financially because a DA decided to make a political stand.
Derail denied.
