S&Z Grocery in Athens, Alabama retails a wide variety of products. However, the store owner banned two items because of a promotional label with a logo that he did not like.<\/p>\n

The logo in question is none other than the NFL logo that was featured on the bottles of Pepsi.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to support them in any way, because I feel like it\u2019s just wrong. I can\u2019t in good conscious sell the product because it does have the logo on it,\u201d Phillip Stewart, owner of S&Z Grocery told said in a statement.<\/p>\n

In a Facebook post, Stewart said the following:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis may cause me to lose some business, but here goes. S&Z supermarket currently will not be selling 20 ounce Pepsi or Diet Pepsi. These two items are currently produced with the NFL logo on them. I refuse to sell the product until the logo is removed. I will not bow down in order to the make a dollar as long as the athletes are allowed to bow down and disrespect the flag and country that I love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stewart said in a statement that he understood what the players\u2019 rally was all about, but felt \u201cthere are other ways to deal with it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
