Off Highway 72 in Athens you will find S&Z Grocery and gas station. What you won't find, 20-ounce Pepsi and Diet Pepsi drinks. I will not sell the product here. I do stand behind that. Owner Philip Stewart is refusing to sell the product because the NFL's logo is on them. I've really been disgusted with the professional athletes handling of situation. I'm just trying to make, not really make a statement. I just don't want to support anything dealing with the NFL. Stewart says his beef isn't with Pepsi, but the NFL. He feels like the National Football League should be enforcing stricter rules on players that kneel during the National Anthem. I was taught at an early age that we respected the flag and the anthem. To me, it's just disrespectful not to. Stewart made the announcement on Facebook and since then the status has struck a chord with hundreds. The post says in part, I will not bow down in order to make a dollar as long as athletes are allowed to bow down. After the season's over when they take the logo off, I will back selling their product. NFL players have taken a knee during the National Anthem to protest police brutality. It's a cause to it understands. I do think the cause is just I think there are other ways to deal with it other than. And this is brought attention to it. I'm sure I'm sure there's good that's come from this, but I just don't agree with the tactic. Stewart says he's not doing this out of spite. This helps me sleep at night. I can sleep knowing that I'm not supporting somebody that's doing something that I don't believe in.
