    I feel selfish now. My first thought was that I want Coca-Cola to make a bad decision so they get negative publicity enough for them to disappear. All because I have an irrational fear of soda cans.

    Not a scam, they regularly post things to my e-mail for worthy LGBT causes. If they ask for donations, you can simply not give. No worries.

    Lent my support, sharing this link where I can. It would make a significant difference if a major Olympic sponsor like Coca Cola spoke out against Russia's recent legislation.

    Was still signed in on my phone, weird. While I'm here ill say that while this would be great, I doubt the coke bosses are actually holding a meeting about this issues. Coke wants to make money, nothing more. They have no incentive to speak out about this issue. They paid big money for this sponsership. They're not going to speak out.

    I highly doubt anything will happen, there is way too much money riding on this deal.

    I agree that in all likelihood nothing will come of this but hey, you never know...
