I do not think Waylon Jennings would be yelling like Jtex either that a private company hired a trans spokesperson. I know his son does not care. | |||

I guess it takes a Texan to know that ain't Waylon (who was also a Texan) but Red Steagall -- another great Texas musician. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Waylon sang Bob Wills is Still the King. But never recorded Lone Star Beer and Bob Will Music. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Was it ever decided for us if we need to refer to Sparky with a specific title? "Ma'am as in ham"? I hadn't heard yet, what do they address King Charles as after the initial, " your Grace "? Pretty sure it ain't, "Ma'am as in ham". Should the kid be "Excellency " or "Benevolent"? Sir seems a little common. I think Baron would be great! "Baron von Heym". Standing by for my correction. | |||

Yep can see your point. Id just say though that I dont think its solely about intrusion, or maybe that intrusion isn't the best word too use and that something a bit heavier might be more appropriate. have you seen Riley Gaines speaking on the impact a trans competitor has had on her and her female compatriots? | |||

This guy was hired to make money for the company. Period. We shall see if it works. I am interested in how much Budweiser do these people drink? How many beers do they predict he will sell over just a dog spokesman like Bush Beans? Strange. Regardless, people like this are a microscopic percentage of the population and they commit suicide at a rate of 40%. This issue may self resolve before I find out whether it was a sound business decision. | |||

I personally think " Junior" would be more appropriate..... But thats,just me. It has always been my experience that when a,petulant little boy has to tell you that he's all grown up ........ He really has a long way to go...... | |||

Like when someone says they're going to be honest with you? I remember I was in my mid 30s when it started to dawn on me I didn't know half as much as I previously thought I did. I think they call it growing up or something... | |||

Yes kind of agree. I remember the moment I gave some advice based on experience, knowing that the younger guy I was talking to me, was about to do exactly what I would have done at his age. At that point I thought I was grown up but it wasn't till I was introduced too the idea that as we gain knowledge, we begin to realise how much we dont know. Which kind of made me less certain in my opinion and willing to see others views that I really considered myself adult.... Except.... I never really want to grow up. I find pleasure in doing things well below my age at times. | |||

So when do you grow up? | |||

Always bern my experience not to let anyone insult me. For instance I do not call you old man, crippled, cowboy, those heavier than they should be obese. Do, no you want to call me s child, junior, kid, or kiddo, can go straddle a Billie goat. My trophy case is just fine. | |||

Calling someone a cowboy in my neck of the woods is a significant complement. As, it is reserved for those who are. I remember the first time a salty old rancher from my youth called me a pretty good cowboy — a badge of honor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

I see Nike has responded and asked us to " Be kind,...be inclusive," I guess I mostly agree. These newly minted product spokesmen deserve no less and I'm certain that the eyes of God see no less or different. Id happily buy them lunch, a bouquet, a Christmas card or mow their lawn for them, but I'll not be asking a man to model a ladies bra for my daughter. How goofy can it get? We wouldn't ask PETA for assistance skinning a buck nor would we ask The American Lung Association for a light. | |||

The problem, Scott, as you are well aware, is that inclusive, as defined by the Left, actually means our way or no way. Hardly inclusive at all really. | |||

At the main beer stores in Cooke County Texas…Bud Light is stacked to the roof of the cold room as they can’t get rid of it. Miller Lite and Coors Light sales are at 150% and Lone Stars and Pabst Blue Ribbon are sold out within a day of delivery! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

. . . you gotta be quite the homophobe to boycott a beer brand based on the fact the beer company tries to market to homosexuals. Some of you guys must think you are going to “catch queer” if you get too close to “one”. Mike | |||

New one to me, calling someone a cowboy as an insult. I could never understand people getting upset over being called a name. Big deal, it does zero physical harm to anyone. | |||

People like Nelson use firms for their taxes and his screwed up royally. He was able to sue them and recover in full the monies he lost to the IRS. I don't remember for sure but $15 million sticks in my mind. | |||

Well I don't think I am a homophobe, but I boycotted Bud Light many years ago because it is terrible swill. Not my idea of a good beer. ______________________________________________ The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who are bereft of that gift. | |||

I don't think that holds true in this case, Mike. I know first hand the gay and trans community around my area are pissed off at the activism and especially the inclusion of minors. They feel like the paedofile community is trying to piggy-back off the successes of the mainstream LGBTQ folks. They've even re-named themselves and now are the "Minor Attracted Persons" and have their own flag to fly on Pride Day. To top it all, the UN just released a paper stating in part that it is acceptable for adults to engage consensually with persons "below the statutory ages of consent". I know for a fact the local drag queens are disgusted with the shows including minors. They insist it is adult entertainment for nightclubs only. Likewise the lesbians are being called transphobes because they don't want to go down on trans women when the point of lesbians is about not sucking dicks. Then there's the women's sports issues. I think the Bud Light commercial with a questionable tranny (a lot people in that community think he's a gay man riding the crest instead of a true trans) was a breaking point that gave people who didn't used to give a crap about personal choices a voice about the abuses associated with the trans movement as it exists right now. Yeah, there are bigots mixed in but not nearly enough to affect a major brand to the extent this has. | |||

I saw a statistical analysis (I am not vouching for the accuracy but the numbers seemed about right) that showed if Anheuser-Busch had gotten everything single LGBTQ person in the world to drink Bud Light…it would have been difficult to recognize in the former profit margin curve. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

What are the real numbers? Was this virtue signaling or was it a plan to bring trannies over from some other beer to Bud Light? The total numbers of these people are really a very small percent of the population. Are they well known as cheap beer drinkers? If every one of them went out and drank 3 Bud Lights tomorrow, would it even show up in the company numbers? I simply do not get hiring this guy alone as a marketing move? We will see if Keystone Light hires him too? | |||

Really it's just a right wing hot button issue being used to detract from the fact that they are offering up nothing for the good of this country. Bud Lite never marketed or sold a single can of beer with that label on it and look at you guys go apeshit. Bunch of snowflakes being played. All kinds of butthurt when you should just be laughing at a stupid idea. | |||

Well, queer beer seems to be a thing of the past as the two marketing gurus who came up with that brilliant idea are on "leave of absence" with AB. Lane, if you ever get to Houston, look me up. | |||

Skyline is exactly right on this point. Bud Light is not a quality beer by any measure. What AB has done is opened the door for their long time consistent buyers to try something else - something that was virtually unthinkable to most Bud drinkers. What A.B. somehow failed to recognize is that Brand Loyalty is a two way street. MJines, it's not about catching queer, it's about the customers' loyalty to the brand and the brand's loyalty to it's customers. Bud Light didn't become the redneck beer of choice on the loyalty of LGBTQ and drag shows. It was built on the connection to football, NASCAR and bass fishing and how strongly their customers identify with those things. Bud Light's market share probably won't recover from this mistake. | |||

Seems to be a common theme for you people to pass judgement on the quality of Bud Light beer. I don't even drink, but I'm smart enough to know that it doubled the sales of any other beer in the world. Since nobody is making these people buy Bud Light and it's not like 1/2 the price of everything else on the market, your opinion is in a very small minority. | |||
|
One of Us |
And since you don't drink beer, your opinion on Bud Light's quality has no value at all. Right? | |||
