I’m tired of these threads and I don’t drink. Everyone outraged consumes some product or service from companies who are worse, yet only take it out on BL.
Because unlike many of those other companies we bitch about when they do woke shite, consumers can drop Bud Light without having to change their consumption or shopping habits to do so.

So you only do so when it’s convenient.

So either this idiot just can't put the shovel down an walk away

or

He's not acting in the best interest of AB/BL and is using his positions in AB and the CIA to keep the psyop alive.

He must be confident that Blackrock et all can hold the line on the next shareholder vote.

If the board changes, his arse is gone.

frick Bud Light. If this had gone the other direction and boosted sales the CEO would be shouting it from the rooftops. Let em burn.

For me to a point yes.

I accept different levels of BS for different things. At the end of the day i know any large company hates my white family of 5 living the life in middle America. But i need those companies for certain things.

AB is something SUPER easy to walk away from. Bud Light and Mich Ultras have been my go to beer for 20 years. I will purchase another one again and i will make a comment to any person i see doing so.

Just saw in my local Kroger over the weekend the Bud Light section was missing ONE case. Next to it the Miller and Coors sections were near empty......Love to see it.....

Moron CEO keeps digging that hole deeper.

Best thing AB can do is shut their pieholes and let time pass. This is essentially free advertising for Miller, Coors, and Yuengling.

Welcome to the realities of the marketplace.

Those who boycotted the NFL soon realized there is no other "pro football" alternative in the marketplace. If you want to "consume" pro football the only viable option is the NFL. People return.

Then you have a product like Nike, which is as much a status symbol as maker of quality athletic apparel/shoes. K-Swiss makes tennis shoes also. But do you really want to be seen wearing K-Swiss?

Bud light is not a status symbol. And it sure as hell isn't a unique product relative to the hundreds of light beer options in the marketplace. Thus, people have found it very easy to "boycott". Does that make it a boycott out of "convenience". Probably. But that means as a manufacture you have to honestly know your product. So when sales of your product are largely the result of widespread available, brand recognition, and built in brand loyalty rather than a unique product in and of itself, you don't go out of your way to give customers a reason to NOT purchase your product.

How many times and places is he going to say this? It hasn’t worked the last 5 times he’s said it.

You have to know AB is DESPARATELY hoping/waiting for Coors and Miller to introduce LBGT ad campaigns next month so AB can say to the marketplace, "see, Coors and Miller do the same thing! So come on back to us". I would like to think their are smart people at Coors and Miller who know all they have to do next month (and beyond) is shut the frick up and happily accept the windfall BL gave them...but we know they won't. Somewhere, even if it is in only a few markets in the US, you are going to see LGBTQXYUZ themed Coors and Miller advertising. At that point everything will be back to square one.

The only group I'm confident won't take the bait is Yuengling

Your point?

A tranny who thinks they are a preteen girl is annoying and a bad choice for a brand ambassador.

A beer company exec who says, in so many words, “frick our existing customers!” is what fueled this mess.


I don’t give a crap if Coors hands out rainbow colored dildos at the Denver pride parade as long as their execs don’t tell the rest of their customers “frick you, we don’t need you!”

Ironic, I was totally unaware of Mulvaney until the protests. I suspect that’s true of most people who don’t spend a lot of time on Social Media.
