My first thought when I read the title was. Why would they do that when every other company double down on woke marketing, are they able to see something I have not seen?

But if something seem to good to be true, it probably is. They were fired for an offensive map, not for being too woke. Even if the people who got fired was woke morons, they will just replace them with some other woke employees.

And the map is not something they created, I have seen the same map 10 years ago. The map is meant as a joke, but in these times you need to be careful what you joke about.

I wish the NFL would get with that and fire the a-holes who kneel during the anthem. They should have nipped that in the bud.
No kidding. If people want to preach their politics, do it on their own time. Don't use a sports team, which was supported by the fans before the spoiled athlete was even born, to hijack as a platform for their social justice warrior preaching.

PS It is a version of a poster from the 1980s.
No. Kozak and Taylor did not make the map - Klaass did.

Yep, I'm getting the impression they were involved with the "300 employee letter" also.

Red Bull is a great product, and beyond that it was innovative and unique.

Red Bull's innovation continues.

I personally knew a guy who's business it was to supply stores with such drinks. He said he'd never drink the crap. He seemed to indicate he knows people who are involved in producing the stuff and they told him about "stuff" that's in it. Super bad for you. I also personally know a guy who drinks energy drinks instead of water/juice, 24/7. All he does is drink energy drinks and takes steroids. You want to talk about anger management issues? That guy is completely "Off The Hook!" 24/7.

Innovation? No it's a copy of an energy drink from Taiwan, which is why a big chunk of the company is owned out of Asia.

Don't really care for the product. I do like the Red Bull sponsors a lot of various interesting things.

I'm not an energy drink fan, but I have a pretty negative opinion of them since the grandson of the founder killed a cop in Thailand and seems to have gotten away with it.
Must really grate on you law and order types.
