We keep thinking that the whole Burton Love story finally over, but then some new twist turns up.
For instance: the Burlington, Vermont city council on Monday night voted 12-1 on a resolution requesting that the Burton Corporation meet with local activists regarding the Love and Primo lines of snowboards, according to a story in the Burlington Free Press.
The resolution, a softer version of one originally proposed, doesn’t force Burton to take any action, but rather encourages the Burlington-based company to listen to the concerns of community organizations that say the boards promote self-harm and misogyny.
The rougher resolution apparently called for the company to stop producing the boards.
