I have my opinion but these days everyone gets overly offended. I think there can be multiple societal issues at once. The CEO brought up one issue while another is being discussed.

NC State has a right to do business and have whoever they want as a sponsor, but I guess we've reached the point as a society that unless you have the exact same point of view as everyone else on a topic you deserve to be punished.
Someone and their company deserve to be cancelled now for saying that a better use of time is to focus on the black on black crime and the senseless killing or our young men by other young men?
What is wrong with that?

Because the timing of the CPI CEO's unsolicited email was completely inappropriate and a complete deflection from the topic at hand in America right now.
Black-on-black crime doesn't mean that beef with the bias inherent in criminal justice for black Americans is unfounded.
Just like with the Drew Brees thing, there are way better, more sensitive, and more productive ways to raise those concerns.
They didn't get lambasted because they didn't have the 'exact same point'; they got lambasted because their execution and delivery sucked.

CPI should have a ton of money to advertise elsewhere now. Especially since liberals want to defund the police. I don't expect them to lose business by these woke responses.

So much in life is how, and when, you say things. Tact matters especially in positions of power and responsibility.
They failed at that critical communication skill and it hurt them. It will likely hurt the CEO's career because his personal conduct has had extremely detrimental effects for his company.
It hurt Drew Brees' relationship with his teammates, and he seems like he's bent over backwards to start repairing those relationships, which is great.
It's hard for me to believe a dude in the CPI CEO's position so badly misjudged the potential negative effects for his company and himself by sending that unsolicited email. His failure was so much worse than Brees to me because it was completely unsolicited.
Brees was responding to a question in an interview and booted a ground ball; this moron CEO punched himself and every stakeholder in that company in face for no reason. If I'm that company's board, he gets fired on general principle because he's getting paid huge money for 'A+' executive functioning and that was 'F' work. His colossally poor decision not only is negatively impactful but it speaks to a broader lack of judgment that makes him poorly equipped to lead.

So do they get the business back when "timing" is good?

True story. People better get them a CPI with no cops to come help.

Why? They notify the cops for you. Who tf they gonna call if police departments are disbanded?
It's a legit topic that NEEDS to be discussed but I'm not sure a white CEO is the dude that needs to start it.

I took tremendous offense to the CEO saying that the protests were a waste of time. This country was built around the ability to protest, especially something as abhorrent as the brutality that they are protesting. This wasn't about simply stating another issue that needs fixing, among many. It was about saying what they are doing is a waste of time. I am very glad these teams I pull for no longer do business with someone with that point of view.
