Always boggles my mind to see the stuff that gets 40-60 year old American millionaires riled up.

I can’t imagine what it’s like to be hooked up to an IV bag of Internet/cable news rage bait 24/7. Must be exhausting at least.

This is 'Merica....at the end of the day $$$$$$$ talks, the rest is just distraction. Kid Rock's bar has more free publicity over this whole event than could be bought.

I didn't drink the stuff anyway, but when AB directly insulted their primary customers in their double down, thats where you wonder if the ideaology momentarily distracted the primary objective of selling beer. They fired those marketing VP's but if your gonna go after your own customer base so directly, you'd think you might clear that with the CEO first.

Meh... Everybody has a push button issue or two. Social media has made small things way more visible than they used to be. I'm not interested in your sex life. I'm not interested in how you 'feel' about things one way or another. But here we are, having it force fed to us 24/7/365. That's really a big part of the division in the country today.

And I am not talking about 'you'.

Bad news for Delta. Are we about to become the next Bud Light?
So can we stop wearing our hats now?

and............?

You and Kid Rock can drink all the BL you want. Peyton Manning drinks it... well he shills for it anyway... Nobody cares. Before the Dylan fiasco the only time BL was ever anywhere ner my mouth was at tailgates because you can drink it practically all day in the heat and not get messed up. I don't know anybody that drank it for the flavor. But that campaign was offensive, and everybody I know won't touch it now because of that. Consequences of poor choices Ms BL executive lady. But what you are doing with your 'drinking BL will turn you trans' is virtue signaling to which I say.... LOL

I cant't believe people can be so sensitive. What exactly was so offensive?
