A local grocery store in Limestone County has banned Pepsi products featuring the NFL logo on them, as first reported by WAAY.
The owner of S & Z Grocery in Athens, Phillip Stewart, posted on Facebook Wednesday, saying, “I refuse to sell the product until the logo is removed.”
He added, “I will not bow down in order to … make a dollar as long as the athletes are allowed to bow down and disrespect the flag and country that I love.”
The owner has long been outspoken on the issue, posting in September 2017 that, “FYI, S&Z Supermarket will no longer accept product from my suppliers that in any way supports the NFL.”
