Is the Bud Light boycott breaking? Kid Rock says he’s drinking it again as Dana White hypes beer to Tucker Carlson
Daily Dot ^ | 12 12 2023 | Mikael Thalen

Dana White, the CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), continues to vigorously defend Bud Light amid the ongoing boycott from conservatives, as some leaders of the boycott, like Kid Rock, are also caving.

The boycott initially began in April after Anheuser-Busch, which produces Bud Light, sponsored transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney as part of its efforts to attract sales from a younger audience.

The backlash from conservatives was swift, resulting in a steep decline in sales. Prominent figures from Kid Rock to country star Travis Tritt publicly showcased their displeasure with the brand.

In the wake of the controversy, however, White instead chose to enter into a lucrative deal with Anheuser-Busch that would cast Bud Light as the official beer of the UFC. Ever since then, White has used every opportunity available to defend the brewer.

It’s crap beer, all their brands. Even the once great “Lawnmower Beer” Rolling Rock has changed significantly.
30+ labels, and all gnat’s p*ss. How do they so successfully manage to avoid anything resembling good beer is simply amazing.

Me neither.

BTW Kid Rock was photographed drinking it very shortly after his show of boycotting.

I suspect he is really just another typical leftist musician. They are a dime a dozen.

Told y'all months ago this was nothing more than a handful of folks virtue signaling around here.
Since you don't follow the popular culture, and the Bread and Circuses as y'all call it how would you know.
Budweiser is doing just fine.
Whether you like it, or not is irrelevant. Grow up.

There’s too many alternatives, much better alternatives, to even listen to their apology or discern if it is real.
It’s like a wife who cheats on you in some extremely deviant way.

Time to move on no matter how sincere she sounds.

I don’t know why it was popular to begin with. I’ve only had it once and it tasted like crap to me.

Really? Is Kid Rock’s choice of beer something I should care about?

AB is working the colleges. I was at KU for the Sunflower Showdown. AB had setup a good sized party area for Bud Light in one of the tailgate areas.

It's not a boycott.

It's a big, honking FU to that organization.

It doesn't matter what that fag Kid Rock does. He can capitulate all he pleases, and go bend over for Dylan Mulvaney for all I care. It matters not what these pinheads do.

Many Americans have decided that they no longer wish to drink that beverage, and nothing these losers have to say about the subject will change their minds.

A few may come back, but for the most part, those consumers lost won't be coming back. Ever.

If KR is drinking it again, either his finances just tripled with a sudden influx of cash or, he isn’t who I thought he was.

Yuengling also is a family-owned business and not a multi-national corporation.

InBev bullies its competition and undermines them in every way, even the smallest breweries. I was down on them long before the tranny thing.

‘Conservatives’ never gave up the NFL, which is doing better than ever. Why would anyone expect conservative action against Bud Light to sustain itself?

This is the time of year where ‘conservatives’ can be counted on to do one thing, sit on the couch watching the very important NFL Playoffs, with a Bud Light in their hand.

It’s why the left has won for 60 years. While you’re worried about who the coach is, and why the ref did this or that, the left is busy winning.

Wouldn’t be enough. They need to apologize to all women for their extreme misogyny for putting up a severely mentally disturbed MAN to pretend he was a little girl.

You’re full of shit.

Telling others to “grow up”?

Who the hell do you think YOU are?

Piss off!

I’m a so called “Conservative”, I suppose.

I don’t watch the NFL anymore. Gave it up after the BLM BS. Haven’t missed it a bit, and have plenty of other activities to keep me happy and never missed a beat.

Sitting on the couch drinking a beer? No thanks, not my cup of tea.

Stereotyping and pigeonholing is a typical of certain types of people.

InBev / Transheuser Busch has no option other than throwing good money after bad.

They're joining with two irritainment partners that are already in decline: the UFC and the NFL, make that ex-NFL. Peyton Manning hasn't played an NFL game in 8 years and Emmitt Smith hasn't played an NFL game in 19 years.

The NFL has been in decline for decades. The UFC has been in the decline since their crowd-attracting stars have moved on. Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor haven't fought in years. The UFC - WWE merger in 2023 isn't going to help either; Dwayne, 'The Rock' Johnson moved on years ago.

InBev / Transheuser Busch wasn't reaching out to the transvestite Dylan Mulvaney because they simply wanted to go woke, they were going woke because they were declining in sales year after year.

I don’t care what Kid Rock or Dana White think about Bud Light or anything else.

that might make me prone to buying an AB product again.

If anyone thinks Kid Rock or Dana White or Donald Trump Jr. is going to convince me to buy Bud Light they’re living in a fantasy world...much like Dylan Mulvaney.
