Being stupid and racist really does wonders to your bottom line...



The Rams are currently 5-7 and pretty eliminated from the playoffs at this point. So, I wonder if they'd pull this boneheaded stunt if they were leading the NFC West.

1. When Sales Dip

Lets see what happens if and/or when sales. Maybe this bar is located in a area where few Rams fans live. That may prevent them from seeing a sales dip. However, I wonder if this stance is going to continue of sales slip. I wonder if they will turn around and say, since team officials called the STLPD and apologized the bar will be bringing back happy hour.

It appears the owner of this bar does not realize he is only hurting himself/herself. The owner's ending of happy hour does nothing to hurt the players or the team. As far as I can tell neither the players, the team, nor the owners will lose any money as a result of this decision. The only people who seem to have any chance of losing are the bar owner and that person's family due to reduced revenue.

leaving St. Louis within the next couple of years. I don't think the taxpayers are going to go for another deal that got them here.
And I am thinking this may backfire on him. He is counting on everyone being as stupid as he is, and I'm not sure if that's true.

It's Chik-Fil-A all over again. Invent a principled stance that just happens to draw your target demo in to spend money.
