They are the majority though.

I could care less what a celebrity does. It doesn't seem like the company thought this through about who exactly their customers are. I haven't consumed Budweiser or Bud Light products in many years.

Not even close.
I think a majority would rather be non-participants in a stupid culture war.

Somebody doesn't know what the term Celebrity is because he is not!

Am sure there are. But do you stop drinking bud the brand, or any AB owned product? AB does own a large segment of the beer industry. How about Molson/Coors that also owns Miller that has been trans friendly and have sponsored events like "The Folsom Street Fair".

Exactly. Dylan Mulvaney's female caricature performance is the equivalent of Amos 'n' Andy (look it up), which was canceled because it was two white actors denigrating Blacks by acting out insulting caricatures of them.

If it's wrong to do that to Blacks, why isn't it wrong to do the exact same thing to women?

I am not inside anyone's brain and have no idea what they perceive themselves as. For all I know, they could just like pretending to be a woman, without actually thinking that they are a woman. The only thing I can go by is what I see, and if I see a man then I address said person as a man. It is not the worlds job to play along with their mental issues.

I was told by someone who seems to know the industry that they are buying up all the land where vital crops are grown in producing beer. So when you start your craft beer facility and need larger quantities of hops, malt, and yeast to meet demand. Ahhh I gotta buy from AB/InBev and they might not sell to me…

Exactly...and who the hell is Travis Tritt? I couldn't pick him out of a lineup...couldn't name one song of his...pretty irrelevant country singer like every other one of them

BTW, they can try and say they are going to get rid of Bud Light from their tours, but the venues determine what products they sell based on contracts they sign w/ local distributers...the touring artists have ZERO say in what the Arena or Amphitheatre sells..

Also, does one not understand that for Kid Rock to shoot at cans of Bud Light, he would have to "Buy" them? BTW, some one w/ his means probably never drinks crap like Bud Light anyways...probably drinks Bourbon or other whiskey.
