Shark Tank billionaire Mark Cuban backs Bud Light over transgender controversy: ‘It’s good business’
Yahoo Finance ^ | 6/13/23 | Christiaan Hetzner

Billionaire tycoon Mark Cuban has a message for corporate boards worried about the backlash decimating sales of Bud Light—getting woke does not mean going broke.

“People want to do business with companies that care about their customers,” the Shark Tank star argued in an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette published on Sunday.

With that, Cuban pushed back against a rising tide of criticism aimed at companies that embrace social causes outside of their core business—and took a side into a heated debate over business's role in society.

Sure I wish I knew how to make money off platitudes, too.

Walmart seems to get a lot of stuff overpriced even at clearance markdown.

Perhaps novel stuff should require approval of three buyers.

Given the unjust treatment of the J6 folks and Trump, we’ll protest with wallets and purses.

If it is such good business, why have they lost billions Mark?

It's great business ... for investors like him. Pressure companies to offend their customers, watch the boycotts tank the stock value, buy more shares at the tanked price, gain more power.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Marketing 101 teaches that it is counterproductive to try to expand your TAM while a insulting your core customers.

Cuban knows this.

It’s offensive to women, bozo! That’s half the country, FFS! Putting on a dress and heels and slapping on some red lipstick doesn’t make you a woman! If he doesn’t see what a slap in the face that is to females, he’s obviously a misogynist.

The Shark says buy low.   Betting that they don't go out of business but if they are forced into receivership you are ship out of luck little Shark.

Still not good business. Good for investors, perhaps. But still a gamble for investors too.

Cuban must be holding a lot of Blackroad preferred stock shares.
This is an equity fund that buys lots of shares in certain cooperations and pushes that business to suddenly become welcoming of all things LGB and T.

I have been looking for swimming trunks that have a built in bulge but can’t find those anywhere.


Stick a sock in it! (Sorry, couldn’t resist) ;)
