Data were collected in 2016, with researchers asking people how much they had heard about BLM. Those who said they had heard a lot or a little were asked a follow-up question about their level of support for or opposition to the movement. People who were unfamiliar with BLM were excluded from the study, as were those who said they didn't know or declined to answer. In all, 31% of the people interviewed opposed BLM.”

  Thanks but I was referring to answers more in terms of OP's question where known people or companies would NEVER make statements opposing BLM. Anonymous users and people in surveys have no accountability but companies and famous people have users/fans that could be lost.

    Well, among the biggest non-anonymous entities to have attacked BLM have been police unions, e.g., https://www.sanjoseinside.com/opinion/blue-lives-matter-sj-police-union-miss-key-moment-for-change-by-attacking-black-lives-matter/ https://www.sanjoseinside.com/opinion/blue-lives-matter-sj-p... A whole lot of known people an organizations have actively supported one or both of Blue Lives Matter and All Lives Matter, both of which are hostile responses to Black Lives Matter, and have often done so attached to direct condemnation of BLM, including frequently (by as notable a known person as then candidate and now President Donald Trump) explicitly calling BLM a racist movement.
