Yeah, I don't understand this move by AB. It's not like with NIKE where they could count on Leftists making up whatever they lost from conservatives angered by the lecture from Kaepernick. Both left & right need athletic gear. But light beer is very different. Libs that are aware of the AB pro trans campaign aren't going to switch to crappy Bud Lite out of solidarity. That's a bridge too far.

Stock Market says otherwise.
Purchase some options or shares, and put your money where your mouth is?
Disclaimer for leftists: do not actually put your money where your mouth is. This is a common saying used by human beings to convey a point, as opposed to just stating the point. In conclusion the saying is only intended to cleverly tell someone to place them self at risk as opposed to asking others to place themselves at risk. This disclaimer may seem unnecessary, but tbh 10 years ago I would never have imagined that people would cut their body parts off to try and become something else...so clearly ya'll need some extra explanations.
Do you think this was a smart move by bud light? Yes or no.
Corporations don't make huge commitments without millions poured into market research and social trends. From adding minorities into advertising, then interracial couples the market of potential customers shows that they respond favorably to companies that support lgbt+ communities.
Like it or not companies are shifting their strategies to Millennials and Gen Z customers, Boomers and Gen X aren't as valuable anymore. They are absolutely willing to alienate a customer base that has 15-20 years of buying potential in favor of a customer base that has 30-40 years of buying potential.
Corporations are in the business of providing a ROI to its investors. It does not care about your feelings..
Don't drink much beer these days but if I do I'd rather sip a couple of Axis IPA's then down a six pack of light beer.Big Al 1992 said:XXXVII said:

Any of the Real Ale beers - Fireman's 4, Texas Bock, Axis IPA, Devil's Backbone, they have some sample packs at H-E-B. Family owned. Blanco, TX.
St. Arnold's is a good standby and what we choose at Minute Maid Park.

So, Bud Light did manage to pick up 'some' new customers I guess (to paraphrase tom hermensa). Kudo's, marketing geniuses.

Let's see how this plays out in Kyle Field this season....lots of AB product offered. I'll be locked into Dos X from here on out. Going to look tonight and this weekend at Olsen as well. I didn't drink Bud Light because it was an awful beer but didn't mind a Stella or Negro Modelo from time to time.
Look at you mocking former students for actually standing up for A&M. So bitter.
lol
I've heard way nastier things said about liberals on here (we are former students too, you know). Figured you could handle some light hearted ridicule.
Pretty sure Blackrock and Vanguard have their funds operating on algos triggered by prices, so while the story makes a nice conspiracy, it is just as likely their increased positions are a coincidence.johnnyblaze36 said:

All Pilsners are piss. You should try a stout or a porter.
Miller and Coors have been sponsoring and promoting pride stuff for many many years too though?ac04 said:

yup. Used Gilette forever until the toxic masculinity ad. Been a Harry's guy ever since. F them.EX TEXASEX said:
Maybe for a week or two the left might support it. However, I think this situation is different. The left will go back to their old ways soon enough and conservatives will not touch Bud Light like it was filled with Ebola. I would rather have a pack of rabid pit bulls chew off my nads then buy Gillette razors still to this day. I think Bud Light is having their " Gillette moment " and they are going to suffer for a long time. Which is a beautiful thing.

However, I would be happy too if I saw a boom in business due to the backlash against AB.Quote:
"We're very proud and honored to be recognized by the HRC with a 100 percent ranking for our LGBTQ workplace equality practices and policies," said Dave Osswald, chief people and diversity officer for MillerCoors. "No matter the recognition though, we know we can never stop working to ensure a welcoming and inclusive environment."
The company has also been recognized in the past for its LGBTQ efforts, including being named 2019 "Corporate Partner of the Year" by Illinois LGBT Chamber of Commerce, awarded the 2016 Corporate Equality Award from Human Rights Campaign and named Corporation of the Year in 2015 by the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.
As a Cherokee, I found the Land O Lakes move very disrespectful and have not bought their products since they took the Native woman off of their package. I used to only buy their butterBCG Disciple said:
I can't believe they threw away 140 years of brand recognition with Aunt Jemima. Not to mention how proud the family was that it originated from a freed slave known for her pancakes. Doesn't matter because white corporate types thought it was racist. When does the copyright run on that brand?

Does anyone remember when the news broke about that trans dude sponsorship? Cause looks like Aneuser Busch's stock topped on 3/31 and is down 5% while the S&P is up 3-5% in that same timeframe.

I am fine with drawing the line at BudLight. The point of a boycott is to send a message, and the message should be that we are not down with the trans movement...if you push it on us, we will make you pay. The only brand that this VP of marketing decided to tarnish was BudLight. It will be a much more successful boycott if it isolates and targets BudLight, rather than an incoherent and near impossible task of trying to go after all AB or InBev associated brands. The message will be just as effective if BudLight ceases to exist.Old_Ag_91 said:

So, a company produces a miniscule amount of their product (I don't know exactly how many cans they printed and sent to Mulvaney) and sends it only to the individual whose image is on the cans, and this is described as "shoving it in our face" and "forcing it on us."

I don't drink Bud Light, nor am I LBGTQ+, so this issue has no direct, personal impact on me. Objectively speaking, it seems like a massive overreaction to a small act with no actual impact on anyone, other than some sort of hurt feelings for anti-LBGTQ+ folks. Am I missing something?

Holy **** the cans aren't even for sale?
This overreaction is so much dumber that I realized.
