One of the iron rules of wokeism that corporations and CEOs have absorbed is this: You never turn your back on the LGBTQ. No matter the backlash, no matter the criticism, if you embrace a transgender influencer or gay advocate or someone similar, you have to stick with them no matter what they throw at you. It's just part of the game now.
So this is really quite incredible, and underscores the success of the Bud Light boycott:
Anheuser-Busch CEO Michel Doukeris addressed the Bud Light controversy on an earnings call with investors Thursday, downplaying the brand's partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney that prompted a boycott from conservatives. ...
"We need to clarify the facts that this was one camp, one influencer, one post and not a campaign," Doukeris said.
Dude is down on his knees like:
So why is he doing this? Why is this guy violating one of the basic principles of woke corporate management in the 21st century? Why would he do such an insanely risky thing?
Well, need I remind you that his company is absolutely and completely hemorrhaging money right now:
Sales are down over 25%. That kind of collapse is just catastrophic, especially for the highly competitive, low-margin beer industry.
Moreover, in this one specific instance, there's little reason for him to try and cozy up to the transgender lobby. Dylan Mulvaney is creepy. He's a weird, obviously unwell dude. He's (hopefully) got people in his life who love and care about him, but the only people with any professional allegiance to him at this point are his doctors and Drew Barrymore. Nobody wants to stand by him.
So yes, Bud Light is running for the hills on this. You can't blame them. And you can pretty well hear the jaw-clenched, grim, joyless resolve in Doukeris's voice:
"We believe we have the experience, the resources and the partners to manage this. And our four-year growth outlook is unchanged," Doukeris said.
Good luck, Bud Light. You will need it, cuz I'm still not drinking your beer.
“Does that mean Shinyhiney is history?”
At least she has that coveted mindshare of the CEO! She has been NOTICED by management.
I have zero presence on (or interest in) social media except FR, so I don't know who or what the GIF's image is.
It might be interesting in a fun fact way, but I can't keep up with the latest Homo Fact Crisis that occurs daily, I'm too old and slow.
Thanks for the tip, hopefully it won't lessen the ridicule intended in my post.
I’d be interested to see what happens to beer sale revenue for Busch stadium in St. Louis. The iconic Busch family no longer owns the Cardinals, their stadium nor, IIRC, the A-B Beer company. But A-B has strong ties in St. L such that I’d question any non-AB brand beer was sold at the stadium Cardinals returned from a long road trip this week and are off to their worst season start in decades. But if the amount of beer consumed per fan there is down from pre-Dylan or even past year standards it would be notable. If anything, as poorly as they’ve been playing you’d think their fans would be buying MORE beer to bury thoughts of the on the field product.

has anyone seen dylan and nina in the same room?
yep and HRC will be watching
Still no firings, still no apology, still no repudiation of ESG and DEI.
yep
AB
you are forgiven
now get lost!
Dylan is a homosexual mocking women. It is no secret that homosexual men do not like women.
Maybelline and Olay companies are going to feel the wrath too.
How many squids do you reckon are banging their heads against the bulkheads?
You know, I do too. They’re the only thing I like about AB. Magnificent animals.

*THAT* is a winning slogan!
This isn’t about the beer anymore. This is a way for average people to say no to the transgender agenda without being canceled by society. It’s not just the right.
The barn is burning down-—Forget locking the door
When that androgynous female, who completely obliterated an American staple on her first try, bragged on being the brand spanking new VP of Bud Light, I think their statement can pretty much be labeled as FALSE.
Bunch of panty waisted cowards. Just own your crap.
Bingo.
Anyone who tried it would be sued into oblivion by AB.
Recruits are boycotting the military too
Not too many brave sane men want to defend the United States of Perversion.
