WikiMedia/M.O. Stevens On Saturday, protests erupted outside the Columbia Sportswear store in Portland, Oregon, forcing it to close. The protesters were responding to an open letter that CEO Tim Boyle had written about safety concerns around the company's office. Some saw it as an attack on the neighborhood's homeless population. Protesters are not happy with Columbia Sportswear's weighing in on Portland's social ills. Roughly 50 people descended on the brand's flagship location in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday, forcing the store to close, according to The Oregonian. The protest was in response to an editorial that Tim Boyle, the company's CEO and president, published in The Oregonian in November.
