On April 21 Breitbart News reported that Yeti Coolers cut ties with the NRA Foundation and by April 22 a #BoycottYeti campaign was sweeping Twitter.
NRA president Marion Hammer explained the NRA Foundation is a charitable organization that raises money for youth and educational programs nationwide. She noted that Yeti products have long been a staple at Friends of NRA Foundation banquets and functions.
However, on April 20, the NRA-ILA quoted Hammer saying, “Suddenly, without prior notice, YETI has declined to do business with the NRA Foundation saying they no longer wish to be an NRA vendor, and refused to say why. They will only say they will no longer sell products to the NRA Foundation.”

I have never seen the value of the Yeti products when Sam's Club and Walmart varieties are just as good in my opinion. Probably made by the same company and sold for a fraction of the cost. I'll keep my FETI, they can keep the YETI!
Just my two cents.
They just shot themselves in the leg. Don't they know who their big customers are???
Maybe they hit the femoral artery and we won't have them telling us what their political view are for much longer.
Most of their customers are interested in PRICES, not policies of their CEO.
Way over priced product anyway so never bought anyway so no lost there
Cue the poor people in 3, 2, 1....Those products cost too much. Ima spend $2,500+ a year on cigarettes tho.
Yeti is a great product (Obviously) and that is why they sell so well to people who can afford the quality.
I am one of those people.
Many many commercial fishermen are also customers of Yeti and will never give them up.
It is simply a superior product.
Just wait - there will be cheaper versions out eventually if not already. I get that Yeti coolers are a great product. However, most people simply do not need that product. Those that do - go for it! But those that do not -don't be a DA.
Over priced plastic. I like when un American companies show their colors. It makes our enemies easier to spot.
Please a cooler is a cooler, PERIOD. If they can make you think its worth paying 300.00 for a cooler then by all means give your money away. Never saw the need to keep anything in a cooler more than Han 8-10 hour window. And call me poor but a $2 extra bag of ice works for me. As the saying goes "fools and their money soon part ways", SUCKERS
