Subway complaint: Subway’s employment of Megan Rapinoe

Complaint from FM Morrigon reported on 03 May 2021 about Subway

New complaint
Complaint pending
Complaint resolved
Complaint closed

My complaint:

Dear Subway,

I have enjoyed your sandwiches for many years. Today I sadly write to inform you that I will never purchase another Subway product again.

Your decision to employ the anti-American kneeler Megan Rapinoe to endorse your sandwiches is the reason I now boycott your company.

As a grandfather, I have influence over many extended family, and will encourage all my loved ones to boycott Subway.

Suggested solution:

Cancel the contract with Megan Rapinoe and issue a press release stating that a mistake was made and Subway loves America and respects it's national anthem.

I agree wholeheartedly! I have been buying Subway since it was “born” back in my hometown in Connecticut in the early ’70s, but no more. As a Veteran I am appalled that Subway would alienate their customers with the endorsement of Rapinoe and her disrespect of the country that paid her millions. Sorry Subway. I’m sure you can get by without my purchases but I would hope you’ll rethink this poor decision on your part.

I’m with you. My family of 5 have been eating there for years. Ever since the commercial we switched to Jimmy John’s. Won’t be eating Subway until they get rid of her.

I won’t be buying another subway sandwich and I will inform my extended family of 50 to boycott as well. Patronizing an individual that does not respect the country that provides her freedoms goes on my list to avoid. I can spend my hard earned money in an American establishment. I’m just exercising my freedom.

Me too. I will never purchase another Subway product. A 40 year customer here. Plenty of fish in the sea. I will go with one that loves America, not hates her.

Same. I can’t imagine deliberately giving money to anywhere that would hire someone like that. I’m in charge of ordering catered lunches at the law firm where I work, and I always used to get them from Subway b/c of the variety and quality. Not only wouldn’t I do that anymore, but many clients have specifically requested food from anywhere but Subway since they hired that person.

Incredible that any American company would highlight a disgusting anti-American (Megan Rapinoe)(who thinks stomping on our flag and refusing to stand for our National Anthem are an acceptable ways to protest. How stupid can Subway be???

If you thiink that kneeling for the American flag is un-American then your ignorance of what it is to be an American is profound. #IgnorantRepublicans

Freedom of speech is decidedly American. Kneeling during the Start Spangled Banner while representing the United States of America…..is UN- AMERICAN! Do and say whatever you want……on your own time.

I respect her right to be anti American. I respect Subways right to use her to represent them. I respect your right to support anti Americans.

Now respect our right to not support anti American establishments.

Your ignorance is profound. Whatever your problem is at the time state that problem, don’t disrespect the flag or your country. People died for that flag and your right of protest, but there is a right way of doing anything. That isn’t it.

Guess you don’t understand what being an American is. Maybe your not one. The flag represents living in this Country and enjoying the freedom that the military risk their lives for everyday and the sacrifices they make. If someone dislikes living here then they can move to another Country and see how you like it.

For the past several years, a few times a month we order a couple hundred bucks worth of sandwiches from one of our local Subway shops to feed our hungry staff putting in OT to get a major project out the door to a customer. No more. We have other, better quality options, Port O Subs and Capriotti’s to name a couple. These shops are a tad more pricey, BUT THEY DO NOT EMPLOY THE PURPLE HAIRED ANTI AMERICAN SLIME MEGAN RAPINO TO MAKE ANNOYING AND INSULTING COMMERCIALS for their businesses.

Screw Subway. Done. She couldnt be as free as she is in any other country. Funny thing is, these protesters never say the US should be more like________ country so I am moving! Her lifestyle is not the issue. Kneeling and protesting the US is. Change your spokesperson!

I ate on average 2-3 times a week at Subway. Even hearing about the tuna thing didn’t dissuade me. Just saw that disgusting Megan Rapinoe on their commercial. Am now going to boycott Subway for a year. Will decide at that time if I will go back. If you want to endorse the politics of someone like that then I will not endorse you!!!

I’m so disappointed in Subway for participating in a political demonstration doing the Olympics. I have 32 people in my family who will no longer eat at Subway. We love our country and all the people in it. When we kneel in front of the flag, it is in gratitude for all the opportunities America has given us.

Count me in as another disgusted member of the silent majority. I have stopped eating at subway until and unless they drop Megan from their ads AND make it clear it is because they disapprove of her controversial antics. There are plenty of people they could have chosen. Picking her from a crowd sends a message. Subway APPROVES AND SUPPORST the disrespect that has swept an already divided nation. I will eat elsewhere.
