After anti-gay and Racist remarks, should Duck Dynasty be cancelled?

Has that happened? Where are these massive boycotts that are going to destroy any company that advertises on A&E? There has been no evidence that anything like this is going to happen. More people seem to be upset over Phil Robertson being fired than they are over his racist remarks. 

Duck Dynasty is made by A&E, which is owned by A+E Networks, which is half-owned by Disney and half-owned by the Hearst Corporation. Neither of these two corporations would want racists associated with their companies, as a boycott would almost surely result, and these two companies would be devastated by such boycotts. If the management of A&E didn't fire the guy, the management of A+E Networks would have had to fire both the guy and the management of A&E if they didn't, themselves, want to be fired by Disney and Hearst management.

It really is a fairly clear chain of reasoning. I'm not sure which part is tripping you up.

Sorry, I had to do it.
