Indeed.
How, in this universe, should I care or take offense over some beer ad for a brand of beer that has no taste and is not worth drinking? Why care who is in a snit over it.

Just follow the money. AB could care less. If ten left-wing customers pick up a 6-pack instead of some craft brew in sympathy -- AB wins. So, if Kid Rock switches to Blue Moon -- AB wins. Maybe he will decide to get a Stella -- AB wins. If he picks up a Rolling Rock -- AB wins. So in desperation he goes after a Goose Island, or Four Peaks, or Breckenridge, or Elysian, or a Golden Road 6-pack -- AB wins. The same with every other right-wing yahoo boycotting Bud Light.

Obviously many care, and it’s certainly not just Kid Rock…and simple enough for anyone to look up and know what brands AB owns, and folks boycotting obviously won’t just boycott Bud Light, but also their other brands…but desperation

Try not to lose any sleep over this. So, if they drive a few people toward more craft beer, so what. AB also owns distributers. This doesn't matter and adds up to less than a bucket of spit -- which by the way, brings us back to Bud Light. Another manipulated fake controversy. AB/InBev holds 1/3 of the global market.

Lol. I’m not the one coming up with such scenarios to try to fit the narrative of drinking something else by AB. Every brand of beer AB owns is easily found. You’re trying to push the narrative that they’re going to pick an AB brand craft beer like they don’t know AB owns them….and there’s sOOO many beers/craft beers made by other companies to choose from.

So, you must think this will bring them to their knees.

Never implied such a thing, but love the deflection since suggesting that folks that drink and are going to boycott Bud Light, are suddenly going to drink craft beer, and are unknowingly going to grab craft beer owned by AB, which will help AB, makes no sense…just “desperation” to fit a narrative

The young guys in my company (and I must admit -- these are some rough-and-tumble young dudes) are all-in on every aspect of this: environmental to veganism to bug eating.

Advertisers and marketing strategists must have run this whole thing through a reality simulation computer and the computer says: crazy wins in the end. I'm starting to believe it.



After drinking Coke since the 1980s, I recently switched to Pepsi because Coke pissed me off.


I know it won't run them out of business, but I do feel better buying Pepsi.


From Coke's perspective, the business they are concerned about loosing is the young generation currently being raised on bottled water by their EV driving do-gooder parents.


Screwing whitey (my issue) could win the leftist parents over to the point they allow their spawn to be poisoned by all the sugar and caffeine in Coke's soft drinks, at least in theory.

If a worthy cause is to defend girls sports and Title IX (9 for progressives), then why use inflammatory words such as desperation? It is normal and most common to believe that girls sports should be girls sports. The majority of the country believes that Title 9 is effective and correct.

Do you not see the polling data that the overwhelming percentages of people want girl sports to be an option for girls to competitively compete in all sports?

It’s the push here and in liberal media markets for a few select individuals to push their desire to see biological males ruin girls sports. Stop. Start a third tier with only transgender competition.

The question that gets socialists, democrats and liberals every time is how many biological girls are competing in boys sports?

Powerhouse international superstars like Kid Rock, Travis Tritt?

I'm sure AB/InBev is reeling!
