Companies drop sponsorship of Shakespeare in the Park over ‘Julius Caesar’ stunt that shows Trump assassination (controversial, death)

[Dockside]

From the Daily News - "Delta Airlines and Bank of America pulled out of their sponsorship of New York’s Public Theater on Sunday over a production of “Julius Caesar” that reimagines the main character as President Trump"

Good...about time. Maybe America is starting to come to it's senses.

I wonder who Trump's "Brutus" would be?

[ditchlights]

Just low class liberals being low class liberals. Nothing to see here.

Working on losing for the next 7 1/2 years.....

Wise move by these two corps. They should permanently drop sponsorship now. Teach an economic lesson that won't be forgotten.

Freedom of speech?

I applaud Delta & Bank of America for pulling out of sponsoring this event!

Plus that is between government and the people. Not private corps.

I am not a Trump fan and if people want to protest or make a statement, that's fine.

But these things can be done with class and decorum.

What's wrong with class and decorum?

Also, I'm tired of going to things to be entertained and instead getting political messages (any kind) dumped on my head.

Good on delta and boa. Wonder who Hasn't pulled out.

What's with people and taking a handful of people doing something as being some massive movement. This isn't "America waking up" or an "example of how liberals think." It's a play and some corporate sponsors. That's it. The world isn't good and evil. This is real live, not a ****ing Avengers movie.

And yeah, I'd drop them as a sponsor too. Too controversial. Not worth any possible fall out.
