Tom Wilson, the Chairman and CEO of Allstate, one of the largest home and auto insurers in the U.S., gave a STOOPID Sugar Bowl introduction. You might say it was “tone deaf” or “stupid”. You might, but it was so beyond awful, so uncaring, so extra wokey-dokey that we need a new word and I am picking ‘STOOPID”. Mr. Wilson was so busy looking pleased with his superiority that he ignored the victims, the heartbreak of their families and the patriotic feelings of the teams and attendees of the Sugar Bowl.
Did the Allstate President understand the reason why the Sugar Bowl was delayed by a day? He spoke as if the citizens and guests of the beautiful city of New Orleans were to blame for the terrorist attack on New Year’s Day. Does Tom Wilson understand that the now-dead terrorist drove from Houston to New Orleans to commit this act of terror? Why is Wilson callously lacking compassion for the victims and their families? Because he is arrogant and STOOPID.
The people of New Orleans are taking care of their own and as an insurance company Allstate should have taken note. From NOLA.com:
A day after a suspected terror attack resulted in 14 people killed on Bourbon Street, New Orleans residents had already begun looking for ways to help survivors, and the city, recover.
With dozens survivors hospitalized, officials issued an urgent plea for blood donations. On Thursday, a large crowd of donors waited for their turn to give, in a parking lot behind the Blood Center’s headquarters on Canal Street in Mid-City.
At noon, there were roughly 70 donors in line. One woman, who had been there since the 10 a.m. opening, had waited three hours.
Blood Center operations director Susan Neff marveled at the patience of the donors. “This is powerful, to see this response,” she said.
Stephanie Williams, 41, a Cox Communications employee who was waiting to give blood, said that neighbors helping neighbors is a New Orleans custom.
“This is what we do,” she said. It happened after Hurricane Katrina, during COVID and after Hurricane Ida, and it is happening again now, she said.
“This one really moved me,” Williams said. “When stuff likes this happens, you’ve got to do something.”
You do something or you work your jaw, like this:
NEW: Allstate CEO Tom Wilson says Americans need to overcome their "addiction of divisiveness" and "accept people's differences" following the terror attack in New Orleans.

Many of us X’d are displeasure to Allstate regarding Mr. Wilson being STOOPID. I like this response reported at Fox News:
Injury lawyer Adam Loewy not only condemned Wilson’s statement, he called out Allstate as a company in response to the controversy.
Other smaller social media users have expressed their own grievances and intent to end their insurance plans in response to Wilson.
“What was Allstate thinking with that statement[?] I have just canceled my policy and signed up with State Farm,” one user wrote.
“That limp-wristed Allstate commercial about the terrorist attack is just what I needed to know that I won’t give them my business,” another wrote.
And one user even called the commercial “The worst, most ill-conceived of the college football season.”
I like this video calling out the “old, crusty White guys”:
This guy is the “Wokemaster of Insurance Companies” or you could just call him STOOPID.
‘Nuff said, Victory Girls OUT.

“Americans need to overcome their “addiction of divisiveness” and “accept people’s differences”.”
Well that’s fine and dandy, except that there are many people welcomed by Western democracies who come from third world countries who set about trying to damage, even destroy, those Nations. They reject the kindness of their hosts with violence often supported by spineless left-wing politicians. This pompous fool obviously studied at the Bud Lite/Gillette/Disney school of marketing whose main precept is to denigrate one’s consumers.
