Could one, at that point, be proud to say that they "just smoked Dick's". ?.... ha ha ha...[ROFL1]

Promise kept. Delta just got blue falconed.

So, now the Delta CEO is trying to say they'll drop discounts for any "politically divisive" group.

Sorry, still no, the Second Amendment should NOT be divisive.

Good, he should. Providing discounts to NRA members has nothing to do with the Second Amendment and is just as much virtue signaling as any other discount or political stance.

I find this hard to believe, but supposedly only 13 tickets had ever been purchased with Delta using the NRA discount.

I don't, I've never heard of a Delta discount, if I had I would have used it.. Same with half the other companies they've listed so far.

Problem is, by the time it worked its way through the court systems the plaintiff would be 21 and the suit would be dismissed since the plaintiff is no longer suffering an injury.

What if NRA-ILA filed on behalf of all 18-20 year olds in a class action fashion? The injury of those 3 years doesn't disappear. emotional suffering, denial of civil rights, sort of thing?

I don't find it odd that few people use their NRA discounts thru Delta or any others offered. I NEVER ask for an NRA discount...just never think about it.

On the other hand, it isn't about the discount. I don't give a rat's ass about the discount. I do care that certain companies claim to value everyone as customers and then pull shit like this. Does anyone think if they offered a discount to the NAACP (just using that as an example...don't get all wound up) and then publicly made a big announcement about discontinuing it over some politically charged incident there wouldn't be progressive heads exploding all over the country? This is about targeting a certain group of people because of their views and opinions on guns and gun rights. Sure, they have a right to do it. And I have a right to bitch and moan about it and complain to the company and to post how much I think they suck for doing it.

I'm just tired of all the double standards inflicted on everyone by progressives in the name of social justice.

MMmm ... no, providing discounts to any group having a large gathering is about marketing to a large gathering or group just like they do with AARP or Veterans Advantage. It has nothing to do with the Second Amendment but it also has nothing to do with virtue signalling. Delta and United never advertised those discounts to the general public -- if they had marketed the discounts as some kind of support for the 2A, THAT would have been virtue signalling but they haven't and they don't.

The reason I take offense at what they've done is that it's NOT a blind change in business policy. They publicized the end of the group discount only with the NRA and they did it in a manner that indicates virtue signalling. Those who think that "virtue" is a vice should therefore be free to respond accordingly.
