Mr. Whitworth, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

There is a tweet for that in the non-apology thread.

This is 100% confirmation that they were absolutely demolished sales-wise in the past week.

(Not that we didn't already know)


This is a really problem for AB. I tend to believe them when they say upper level executives didn't make this decision. However, when they can the grif...I mean influencer, they are going to get destroyed for being bigots. Absolutely a no win situation, but I hope other companies are paying attention.

Sales on the week are meaningless.

Stock is what investors care about. They are even on the week.

Notice how the CEO didn't mention that they are reevaluating their partnerships or marketing strategies.

In the end it is incredibly ironic that the "anti-cancel culture" conservative couldn't help themselves but beg for attention on tik-toc (something themselves want to ban right now) as they pour out bud light that they had bought themselves or run it over with a truck (Ford & Chevy both support lgbt+ policies) an replace it with Miller, who if anything has been pro-lgbt longer than any other brewery.

Get a grip. We are not going back to the 50's.

Joe Rogan is not a fan of the transgender thing mostly because biological men are fracturing women's skulls in MMA now and he equates it to domestic violence and sanctioned assault of women.

He wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole.
Not even for 250 mil


Except he already did a bit on it. He and his guest each opened a Bud Light and talked about not knowing why anyone would care. If you like it, drink it. Then the stopped drinking his can because he said it sucked.

Let's do the math: 1400 / 5400000 = 0.00026 = 0.026%

Well played Mr. Whitworth. Well played...

Some PR firm made millions off of that statement that says absolutely nothing but tries to say "we're sorry republicans" without actually saying it to stay woke.


This **** is why consumer businesses shouldn't get into politics. They can't apologize because that would piss off the rest of the country
This right here. It goes along with what I said earlier this week that these corporations have too much time on their hands if they can afford to get involved in politics and social engineering stuff.

Make the best product you can, workout the best distribution chain you can, do sound marketing research, and sell your product. That's all you need to do.

Agreed, but here is the problem. The generations after Gen X are demanding that all products take a stance on social issues including their own employees. And those stances are almost always left wing because those are the people who constantly whine and ***** about everything.

There is no way around it at this point.


No they are not, good lord. This is a common platitude for globohomo, most people don't give a **** unless you give them a reason to. My generation, I am 32, and my youngest brothers and sisters (ages 18-24) literally don't care about any of that. Neither do their friends enough to not buy beer over silence over topics.

They will not buy beer when companies make a hard-lined stance.

New-age business wisdom is just like the 50s: Shut up about politics unless you want to paint yourself in a corner or unless you are a brand leader trying to drum up controversy.


You serious Clark? Of course I dont mean every single person but the younger generations are absolutely demanding their employers and the companies they buy products and services from align to their social causes and beliefs. If you don't think that or see that then you are naive beyond belief.


You got proof of this? I'm core millennial and have never seen such demands issued.
Reality is my proof.

Almost half the US population is now under 35 and they vote Democrat in overwhelming numbers. These are the people now stepping into leadership roles and are influencing everyone on social media. They are pushing their ideology and personal politics any which way they can. See Big Tech as a quick example. Populated by leftist idealists who get to push their ideology at work and into the public via culture and software.

Jesus Christ that's what this thread is about with this 30 something left wing chick from Harvard pushing her ideology via the biggest beer brand in America.

We talk about this stuff every day on multiple threads across the gamut. Companies have completely thrown their hat in the ring on catering to leftist propaganda at the bequest of their own employees and pressure by the squeaky wheels of the Democrat party and their lunatic constituents.

My former employer is adding employee identity groups to cater to all the Democrat malcontent constituencies because they all want to segregate into their own tribes and be able to push management to cater to their specific group. Guess who didn't get a group? White men and Christians because they didn't ask for one.

Regarding company products and services...look around you. I'm not even sure what to say if some of y'all don't think companies aren't positioning their products and services to cater to leftist policy and ideology. Gay in everything, white hetero couples removed from commercials, blacks represented in laughable numbers completely out of whack with reality.

Y'all awake? You think the relative conservative Gen X'ers and Boomers are asking for and pushing this crap?? No, the younger generations are because that's how they've been programmed.

I don't know how many of you own businesses, but that letter, and the situation, is not one you "undo". It's one you double down on with a statement like above, and quietly let it disappear. There is not a way to undo it. There is only a way to be smarter about it in the future and perhaps make a mental note of who your customer is.

I hire those kids. Many of which are coached to put pronouns on their stupid resumes. Even the liberal ones don't give a **** about this that I've seen. And I don't leave any leaves unturned when stalking my potential hires with my team.

It's all bull***** But they can be radicalized.

The narrative is nonsense about 90% of these kids out of school even worthless degree holders from worthless junior colleges.

That's said they can and some will be radicalized.


Edit: once they are radicalized they won't work for me. I have a crucifix (big one) in my office and a maga hat in my office when they do their final interview. They know what I'm about and if there's any nonsense they're gone.

In my ten years and 4 or so years in the big chair I haven't had an issue and we almost exclusively hire under 26 yo kids right out of school.

I'm just curious. Why is everyone so upset about this? They sent a can to someone with their face on it. Big deal. It's not like every can in the store has their face. My life has not changed in any way because this person got a can with their face on it.

Release on Friday evening so you can say you did it, but do at a day and time to maximize nobody sees it . CHECK. Big Corporation mentions all the little guy that are tied to them/depend on them.That you are hurting without saying but getting it across to you . CHECK. Mention Heroes of society and try to glom onto them. " CHECK. We never tried to be part of a discussion " There was no discussion, you were trying to pander to the LGBT+ ect , ect and destroy all historical values/ customs to sell more brew. CHECK
"My time servering this country " Again tries to tie himself to honorable activity which is not relevant to the issue. CHECK
" Has taught me about the importance of accountability " He has mentioned NOTHING about people getting fired, so NO ACCOUNTABILITY ON HIS PART. CHECK. He references " American values " but this is a Belgian company so NOT American. CHECK He talks about " Respect for others " So if you don't set by and do nothing when 1/10th of 1% of the population is rewriting your history and values, you aren't being respectful.CHECK . An electron scanning microscope could not find an apology in this tripe

Sincerely,
Sorry not sorry
