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.

We had dinner in Spokane, WA last night at the beautifully restored Davenport hotel. They have a great beer on the menu from "No-Li" brewing. The "Born & Raised" IPA was on tap and was very good. Buy local!!
Another great local one is from up the road in Kellogg, ID. "Radio Brewing" makes their "Idaho Sexy" beer. The can artwork is by the woman who co-owns the brewery with her husband.
They will never see a centivo of mine ever.
They get paid to rip you off just like Tom Brady and fake crypto currency. They would sell their own mother if you waved enough money in front of their greedy face they go wild from the smell of real currency
No, 3 celebrities didn’t start this boycott, and 3 celebrities can’t end it.
He’s not wrong.
Rude, but not wrong.
I live outside Greenville SC, and I too support local craft beers, we have a restaurant here called VOODOO Brewing co. , excellent food a great local beers on tap
yeah, Dana White’s $105m-a-year deal with Bud Light might have something to do wi it...
Probably both.
Nope , I for one saw the listing of A-B and avoid all of them. It is no longer American by any measure. Fortunately I live in an area with a great brewery “Abita” and there amber lager is excellent and the water they use is great. If I can keep even one more penny from a business that see’s nothing wrong with promoting mental illness these trannies I will have at least spoken with my wallet (that’s all they care about anyway.)
The numbers from InBev concerning Bud Light haven't been recovering as of November this year.
That is subject to change, obviously, but although Budweiser is still there, they aren't anywhere near what they used to be. People continue to attempt to talk them up and back into the good graces of those who left, but that has yet to show up on the bottom line.
Well. I think we have the measure of you now. Thanks.
LOL, I guess. If anyone changes their mind on the basis of that guy or Kid Rock, then they didn’t have much of a moral compass anyway.
Much like the jackasses who call my decisions “virtue signaling”. I don’t tell people what they should do in their personal lives. But when people start in on you for exercising personal choice, well.
That is different.
Why would you drink that? It’s terrible.
I always thought Peyton Manning was a smart businessman.
Agreeing to represent Bud Light was an unbelievable mistake.
He’s lost a ton of admirers.
Why would anyone watch Ultimate Woke Fighting. Remember, they have let at least one transgender woman fight against women, without telling the women. And that was before the transgender takeover.
So, you wouldn’t require Anheuser - Busch to make good beer.
Yuengling is the best beer brewed in the United States.
Hands down.
I never boycotted Bud Lite....of course in never drank that piss water to begin with and there was nothing to boycott on my end
There is no reason to drink Bud Light other than price. Its swill. Dishwater. Tasteless dishwater. Same with its direct competitors. So if people are promoting it, its political or paid. End of story.
