please be a maga shirt please be maga shirt
The shirt read, “Do not give in to the war within. End veteran suicide.”
Damn. And also seriously?
And
This isn’t the first time Delta has removed someone off a flight for how they dressed.
In March, Lisa Archbold held a news conference with her attorney, Gloria Allred, and explained how on a Delta flight to SFO she was asked to deplane due to her choice of clothing. Archbold said she believes the airline had a problem with her not wearing a bra under her shirt and was told, “Women must cover-up.”
Oh they messed the punctuation up:
“Do not give! In to the war? Within: end veteran. Suicide!”
I’m gonna need to see the shirt, not just read what the slogan said. I can’t make any judgement until then because there could very well be more to the story. I’m leaning toward Delta being ridiculous especially if it was just words on a shirt But what if the shirt had someone hanging from a noose or dead from a gunshot wound? What if it looks like the shirt was covered in blood? More context is needed.
So what if there was a noose or blood depicted? Thats none of their business.
Eh. Intentionally incitive clothing is banned for a good reason. You don’t want drama from political rivalry happening in an air bus hours away from an airport.
I don’t mind the policy of “STFU for X hours until you get to your destination”. This includes people trying to incite you.
Whether or not this is extreme enough to warrant incoming this rule is another matter. As the person you responded to implied, there may be a way to present that opinion in a highly inciteful way thats not fully realized by the wording alone, so they’re withholding judgement. That seems prudent.
Maybe the shirt had some “offensive” picture on it but the first thee pages of a Google search for “don’t give in to the war within shirt” just shows shirts with the words on it and sometimes an American flag. Someome on the flight was an asshole and complained putting Delta in a lose/lose position.
So Delta supports veteran suicide.
I’m surprised they don’t put that in their ads.
I’m a veteran and every time I’ve flown Delta, it’s made me want to kill myself. So this tracks.
Delta airlines is pro suicide.
Suicide prevention is so threatening!
“delta representative confirms delta is pro veteran suicide” should be the headline everywhere.
