One more reason not to watch. (I already had plenty of reasons...)

Most of the immigration to this country to begin with was from Europe, not the Middle East or anyplace else.

Doesn't really jive with the Wikipedia writeup on the guy:

"Busch was born on July 10, 1839 to Ulrich Busch and Barbara Pfeiffer[2] in Kastel, then a district of Mainz in the Grand Duchy of Hesse. He was the twenty-first of twenty-two children.[3] His wealthy family ran a wholesale business of winery and brewery supplies. Busch and his brothers all received quality educations, and he graduated from the notable Collegiate Institute of Belgium in Brussels.[2]

At the age of 18, Busch emigrated in 1857 with three of his older brothers to St. Louis, Missouri;[2] which was a major destination for German immigrants in the nineteenth century. Because he had so many siblings, Adolphus did not expect to inherit much of his father's estate and had to make his own way.[3] Because it was home to so many German immigrants, the market for beer in St. Louis was large. The city also had two natural resources essential for manufacturing and storing beer before refrigeration. The river provided an ample water supply and the city had many underground caves that would keep beer cool.[3]

His brother Johann established a brewery in Washington, Missouri; Ulrich, Jr, married a daughter of Eberhard Anheuser in St. Louis and settled in Chicago; and Anton was a hops dealer who later returned to Mainz."

Yup the whole country is tuning in to be fed propaganda/NOT.

These clowns (management and advertisers) associated with the NFL don’t seem to have figured out that people just want to have friends over to watch football, half-time show and entertaining ads without politics and propaganda. It is supposed to be an escape. I predict viewership will be waaaay down.

Regardless, I am tuning out this year, though I will still prepare football favorite foods to munch on while watching the Puppy Bowl :)

Mostly I keep my eyes peeled on FR for news that a craft brewer is supporting some Leftist cause.

Breckenridge is being bought by Bud

New Belgium Brewing is a supporter of Environmentalist causes.

Found out about both on FR.

Too bad both make beers I really like.

Welcome to reality.

We made that decision at the beginning of the season. Have not and will not watch a single NFL game including the super toilet bowl starring satanic, "spirit cooking" performer Lady gag gag.

No mention will be made that Busch was formerly employed at brewery that produced beer for the Royal House of Hohenzollern and that he spirited away brewing recipes when he left Europe.

If you want to ensure you don't support some leftist artisan with your beer-drinking dollars, the solution is clear: brew your own.

Mostly likely they’ll alienate all their audience. Progs really aren’t beer drinkers.

Joe six-pack will understand he just got kicked in the nuts.

That is a hobby I hope to take up in my retirement.

That’s the second happening from yesterday that I saw today. Too much smoke from liberal heads exploding, I guess

They’re just names on the bottle or can, now. Cute, how they’re trying to capitalize upon a history in which the owners played no part.

Dear Budweiser,

The irony here is I would drink any Mexican beer before drinking the piss you brew.

Piss off,

Weak beer.

Weak beer. Lame commercial.

I don't think that commercial is a good spend of $30mm. Not sure who it appeals to - not violent enough for the libs, boring for the rest of us

Did Adolphus Busch blow up any body?

Did the Budweiser family come to commit jihad? Because if they weren't what point are they trying to make?
