squistion 1,944 Posted January 3 Some folks on social media are calling for the boycott of Allstate Insurance after the CEO's pre-Sugar Bowl video clip. I don't see why people are so outraged about this. It seems fine to me. Is it too woke or something? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/college-football/article-14247099/Sugar-Bowl-Allstate-CEO-New-Orleans-Terror-attack.html Sugar Bowl Sponsor Allstate Faces Boycott Threats Over CEO's Remarks In Wake Of New Orleans Attack Allstate insurance is facing boycott threats on social media after CEO and chairman Tom Wilson's controversial advice to Americans in the wake of Wednesday's terror attack in New Orleans. Wilson addressed the Superdome crowd and ESPN's television audience prior to kickoff at Thursday's Allstate Sugar Bowl – a College Football Playoff quarterfinal postponed by the terrorist attack that killed 14 and injured more than 30 in the French Quarter early New Year's Day. 'Welcome to the Allstate Sugar Bowl,' Wilson began in a pre-recorded clip before Notre Dame's win over second-seeded Georgia. 'Wednesday, tragedy struck the New Orleans community. Our prayers are with the victims and their families.' 'We also need to be stronger together by overcoming an addiction to divisiveness and negativity. Join Allstate working in local communities all across America to amplify the positive, increase trust, and accept peoples' imperfections and differences. Together we win.'

Fnord 2,051 Posted January 3 Boycott Allstate because they are a horrible insurance company that absolutely hates to pay out claims and will fock over their policy holders (and vendors) at every opportunity. Boycotting them for the above is dumb. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimHauck 2,600 Posted January 3 I don’t see why many MAGA folk seem to be triggered by the above quote. Considering the attacker’s quote of a “war between the believers and disbelievers,” the message could be interpreted as being directed at other people who may be thinking of carrying out similar attacks moreso than it was at people mad about the attack. Trying to tie that statement into a sales pitch to “join Allstate” was kinda cringe though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I know, they're all that way. Even worse when it comes to things like long-term care/nursing home insurance. They love collecting the premiums over decades, but fight tooth and nail once the policyholder needs to use it. I sincerely wish the leaders of these companies nothing but the worst, and that includes their children, grandchildren, & great grandchildren As for the Allstate CEO. He looks like he has 1 too many chromosome. Divisiveness & negativity have always been around. It's almost as if he's giving the New Orleans terrorist a pass, because there's too much of it. Fock him as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fock him as well. Insurance companies are all pretty much the drizzling craps right off the bat. If you ever want to have a major life regret, let one of their financial people get your contact information if they think you have money to invest. They have all sorts of horrid products they want to sell you. I made the mistake of doing a favor for a friend who had a relative who needed what he thought was a call as an intern, just to help him out. I was just going to spend a few minutes with him, listening to him, give feedback, etc. Turns out the guy was already hired, his boss was on the call, and that good deed has led to about a year's worth of harassment from them wanting me to meet, get on calls with them, etc. I'd boycott the whole industry if I could. I had them deem an auto accident "no fault" when a woman ran a red light and totaled an old car of mine. Lost my car in the process. Got enough from the scrap yard to pay the tow and storage until they released the car is about it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patented Phil 1,469 Posted January 3 Here’s the Allstate CEO’s lecture to the grieving community: "Wednesday, tragedy struck the New Orleans community. Our prayers are with the victims and their families. We also need to be stronger together by overcoming an addiction to divisiveness and negativity. Join Allstate working in local communities all across America to amplify the positive, increase trust and accept people's imperfections and differences. Together we win."

Hardcore troubadour 14,914 Posted January 3 I don’t think the government should take over any industry. But if there’s one where it might make sense it’s the insurance industry.

I'm not sure it's unique to those 12 states, but every 6 months I have to pay right around $100 to cover uninsured/underinsured drivers. We have to have liability by state law. I had an 8 year old Camry at that time. It wasn't worth comprehensive coverage and I had decided if I'm at fault I'll pay for my own situation but the lady who ran the light in her Avalanche had the same insurance company I did. They were only too happy to claim they couldn't determine for sure what happened so it was "no fault" and they therefore didn't have to pay me. The photos of my passenger side door caved in from the T-boning wasn't enough apparently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cdub100 3,825 Posted January 3 In a time when presidential candidates and CEOs are being targeted for murder I can see why someone like him would want to temper down the heat. It's fine when normal people are burned alive on the subway or assaulted, and killed. Or when gangs take over whole communities. But now it's too much. Unfortunately it's probably too late for that. If I was a CEO of a company notorious for being a sh1tty insurance company that denies claims I too would worry. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We spent 4 years beating up MAGA over some phoney insurrection BS where the only people murdered were by the state vs. this attack which killed 15 innocent people.

BunnysBastatrds 2,307 Posted January 4 I was an independent insurance adjuster for thirty plus years. Owned the business with my father. Took it over and became president of the incorporation. And I can tell you that Allstate and State Farm are horrible companies when it comes to paying claims. Right after Katrina, I watched them nickel and dime and divert responsibility for what they owed according to their policy holders, third parties, and employees.Both companies are irresponsible with their contracts. I was offered a big position working with the Allstate team working the claim department five years after Katrina. I went on an interview for sh!ts and giggles and they offered me a fair salary. Told I would only take the position for thirty percent more than what they were offered. Countered with five percent. I got up and said good afternoon sirs. And Ms Iris, love your blouse.
