“Let’s just be clear that when a company decides it’s gonna make statements on on political and social issues, they have to live with the consequences,” Youngkin said. “And the blowback here has been warranted.” …

“There’s no place to sit on a fence here. You’re either condemning it or you’re condoning it,” Youngkin said. “And the fact that, first of all, Eventbrite continues to carry events around Hamas is unbelievable. But then, on top of that, to proactively terminate an agreement with Riley [Gaines] is beyond belief.”

[This is the way. If enough customers fire Eventbrite, and if enough of those customers’ customers refuse to use them, eventually that will overwhelm whatever DEI or ESG scoring drove those decisions in the first place. Just ask Target, Anheuser-Busch, and (maybe) Disney. — Ed]
