Budweiser Considers Ending NFL Sponsorship Over Anthem Protests

Bud Light’s brand parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev — one of the NFL’s biggest sponsors — is rethinking their NFL sponsorship, and they want your input.
The NFL player protests of the National Anthem have backfired in a major way on the league. It has seen sponsors pull out, ratings decline and teams play in front of practically empty stadiums.
In the wake of increased national anthem protests, Anheuser-Busch is reconsidering their NFL sponsorship, likely because the protests are very unpopular among everyday Americans. Bud Light currently serves as the official beer of the NFL.
At the end of 2015, the company extended its current deal, which is slated to expire at the end of the 2016-17 season, for another six years through the 2022 season, but that might all change very quickly.
So the company set up a hotline for fans to call and give their thoughts about the protests and Anheuser-Busch’s sponsorship of the NFL. The number for the hotline is: 1-800-342-5283.

In today's climate, it just makes sense to not advertise in any environment that's become politicized. I wonder if those narcissistic NFL players and their enablers thought about that when this wasn't stopped the first time Kaepenick knelt for the anthem.

Whoa...fantastic. I phoned and gave them a piece of my mind. Said I’d never buy any InBev products ever again as long as those communist agitators continue their unAmerican acting out.

No, there is a genetic tendency against wisdom and education.

Thanks to the NFL’s open support of the anti American tantrum throwers all sponsors may have an out on their contracts. The NFL is devaluing it’s brand on purpose.

Do it, just do it. That will rock the owners with a brick to their head. If that does not wake them up, nothing will.
