People really do hate Bud Light.
San Francisco 49ers superstar tight end George Kittle is a part of a group of NFL players who have been recruited by Bud Light for a summer advertising campaign, and … well … Kittle’s installment (like Travis Kelce’s) blew up in his face.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was featured in a Bud Light commercial earlier in July, with Kittle making an appearance in an advertisement this week that was published on the beer company’s Instagram.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is expected to be next in Bud Light’s NFL campaign.
With Kittle’s commercial, it was short, unsweet and to the point, starting off with Kittle standing at his closet, looking for a shirt to wear while partying and drinking Mulvaney juice. And then, when he finds his “old friend” (and it’s a disaster of a shirt), he puts it on and walks out his front door to join the party. And that’s when a Bud Light can makes an appearance, with another partygoer holding it.
Yes, it’s as lame as it sounds.
With Bud Light being in the middle of the Dylan Mulvaney blowback, Kittle was hit with a huge wave of negativity from Americans who just weren’t having it.
“What a sellout,” one Instagram user commented on Bud Light’s post.
Things got so bad for Kittle that he even felt the need to explain that he’s “been a bud light [sic] athlete since 2020.”
“Been a bud light athlete since 2020 actually! Talk about what you know not what you think!” Kittle responded to the “sellout” Instagrammer.
Sensitive much?
Or maybe it’s because he’s probably getting paid well and has his own beer.
Hey, I get it from Kittle’s perspective. If I was getting nice-sized checks, saw my face on my own beer for a big brand like Bud Light and was an official “Bud Light athlete” — especially before the Dylan Mulvaney disaster — it would be hard for me to give it up, too. But at the same time, with as big a star as Kittle is, you’d think he’d be able to easily do this with another beer company. So, Kittle, what’s it gonna be … glory or more pitchforks? (RELATED: LOL!

Be an American hero and ditch that traitorous beer.
I didn’t know so many NFL players were on the down low…
When the NFL players took the knee, I quit watching them.
they must have paid him a literal ton of cash.
Hilarious Bud light thinks recruiting NFL players can “right the ship.” Throwing good money after bad. Somebody posted Costco will no longer carry BL.
gays

make me laugh

Supporting Bud Light?
Sounds like he’s transition from tight end to wide receiver.
He's a whore like Kelce - will do nearly anything for cash and a little attention.
does dylan have a kittle jersey?
Time for them to come out of the closet....so to speak :)
I actually remember when men cared more about principles…
When they take a knee it is easier to give a BJ while drinking BL.
Like many, I quit watching when the “Quantavious Jenkins” of this world started kneeling.
Yeah, and I do believe that he may do more than ‘take a knee...”
The temperature is such that I am now endorsing Tanqueray and limeade with ice. Never was a much of a beer drinker anyway...
A San Fran 69’er.
Can anyone actually claim the beer tastes good. Because I don’t believe anyone can without lying.
Bud Light could NOT PAY ME ENOUGH.
Same. I’m not rich, but I can look in the mirror everyday.
Me too. And MLB. And the NBA (which I never watched much anyway). And Kentucky basketball (after being a fan for 60 years) ...
