Controversy surrounds Subway’s sponsorship deal with Megan Rapinoe, who kneeled during the National Anthem at the Tokyo Olympics. A group of franchisees demands her removal, citing negative customer reactions. Some, particularly in red states, face backlash due to the company’s decisions. Franchisees express frustration, with one urging Subway to focus on improved bread, not politics. The North American Association of Subway Franchisees (NAASF) voiced concerns to company leadership, and lawyers are involved. Critics argue Subway should have conducted careful due diligence before choosing Rapinoe. Her past controversies, like allegedly stomping on the American flag, resurface. Amidst this, Subway franchisees call for pulling Rapinoe’s ads, emphasizing the need for less politically charged marketing.
