According to the NRA, YETI did this “without prior notice”:

Yeti Coolers dropping its relationship with the @NRA is mind-boggling.

Everybody I know that owns a Yeti also owns a gun, and many of them are NRA members. This move doesn’t make sense at all. pic.twitter.com/ARsZIHikA2

Chris Loesch tweeted at Yetti telling them to “reverse this terrible decision”:

Hi @YETICoolers – you should reverse this terrible decision. Do you not understand who your base is? Will never buy or use any of your products again and we had a bunch. https://t.co/NAiB7Yb8KX

It might be too late, however:

YETI drops the NRA. That’s like peanut butter boycotting jelly.

The NRA Foundation is a charitable organization, and Yeti products have long been a staple at Friends of NRA Foundation Banquets.

Yeti Coolers is now cutting ties with the NRA Foundation without explanation or notice. #BoycottYetiCoolers

If true that YETI isn’t doing business with NRA Foundation anymore, they are about to lose much of their sportsmen clientele. That’s bad optics. What gives?!

For real. There are much more affordable products out there where NRA members and gun owners can spend their money:

If the backlash suffered by DICK’s or Delta didn’t teach them a lesson, we’re not sure anything will:
