Comes across just terribly. No apology, mishy mushy on where they stand, and sort of defiant that they are "in the middle of this issue". Guess they do care more about DEI than shareholder value.

The guy is everything wrong.
Can't believe this guy served in my beloved Marine Corps
He basically didn't. Short stint as an athlete (i.e. advertising gimmick) before hopping over to the CIA (if I recall correctly).BurnetAggie99 said:DallasAg 94 said:

lol. He got the bare minimum softballs. Nothing about advertising beer to minors. Nothing about funding advocacy of child genital mutilation. Nothing about his tone deaf commercials (following insult with mockery). Didn't press him when he avoided answering.LRHF said:

Media. He did a good job avoiding real answers but I was pleasantly surprised they pressed him a little bit!
LOL, you mad some people are sick of this crap, bro? Last day of 'pride' month!DarkBrandon01 said:
Apologize for what? Advertising to trans people? On a single instagram ad? That's it?
You can't claim that AB is trying to force transgender stuff at you because the video wasn't directed to everyone. It was targeted advertising. You had to go out of your way to find it.
You also can't claim that AB is trying to expose stuff to kids, since Bud Light is obviously an adult beverage.
You're just mad at bug light for simply acknowledging that trans people exist, and trying to sell beer to them. You really think they care about DEI? At the end of the day this comes down to making money. That's the only agenda any of these corporations have. They dropped Mulvaney after this happened. They don't care about trans people.

unfortunately, distributors and their employees are the ones who are going to suffer from this entirely preventable situation. InBev folks will just fly back to their European headquarters shrugging their shoulders and mumbling about Americans.Ghost91 said:
Gotta wonder what the Busch family thinks about all this. Probably laughing their asses off.
There's a GREAT book - 'Dethroning The King' about the hostile takeover by InBev. Busch family was so old school rich - commuting to work via helicopter landings on the roof, mahogany & leather everywhere, just oozing excess everywhere.
The InBev CEO flew up in a regular plane, wore blue jeans and stayed at like a Holiday Inn. Busch's didn't take him seriously, and the rest is history.
Having said that, I'd love to see old money's reaction to this woke BS.
