I wonder if Budweiser (actually AB Inbev) objected when the NFL started down the “we don’t care if you’re a thug” road.

the radicals are starting to hammer the sponsors to start doing financial damage. Just as predicted in recent years, the left was going to destroy the NFL. It’s starting to escalate rapidly.

Something I see rarely discussed or blame laid on is the rollovr of big business to political correctness. They are the enablers of psuedo-diversity, political corrextness and a of the other cultural ills that negatively impact the United States,

If the NFL fired all the felons it now employs, just how many players would there be left?

All the advertisers including Anheuser-Busch know about the criminals that the NFL employs.

I wonder what percentage of the criminal acts perpetrated by NFL players involve alcohol. I’m guessing about 90%. We all know Rice’s incident did.

No sympathy for the NFL. They brought it upon themselves. They thought that thug-ball was good for business.

It’s not really A-B anymore. It’s Inbev, owned by a bunch of Arabs.

If it wasn't for beer and liqueur would there even be domestic violence?

If the adds showed real beer drinkers, 300# loud mouths, would there even be domestic violence?

If their adds where realistic and the women that the beer drinkers in the adds actually hung around where 200# beasts with missing teeth, would their even be domestic violence.

I think Inbev, should STFU before we outlaw alcohol again. Ray Rice punched his girlfriend when they where both drunk and getting lippy with each other at a casino. He plead guilty was fined and sent to a program. He also was fined and suspended without pay, more money than most people make all year. This is a non issue.

Talk about overblown nonsense!

And yet the NFL had the highest TV ratings ever this past week. So much “damaging the brand”.

The league has come under fire for its handling of former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice’s assault of his then-fiancée

Assault is a crime. New Jersey has police, prosecutors, courts, and judges.

Why does the league need to "handle" this at all?

I don’t understand how any of this is bad for the NFL. This keeps people talking about the NFL, TV ratings and attendance will hardly see a blip.

Anheuser-Busch? Shouldn’t that be InBev. Screw ‘em. Wouldn’t drink their pisswater if I was dying of thirst while crawling across Death Valley wearing a fur parka.

I’ve got to agree with Rush on this one; that these bad apples come from college that way. The good ones like Tim Tebow and RG III do too.

This is BAD news for the NFL.

If Annheuser-Busch InBev bails on being a NFL corporate sponsor, it may convince other NFL corporate sponsors to end their relationship with the league. This is the same pressure that forced out Donald R. Sterling as owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Too much strutting, skipping and prancing between each play. Real men make the play, get up and line up. 60’s football wasn’t this way and some of those guys were real roughnecks and partiers.
