Anheuser-Busch, one of the NFL’s biggest sponsors, says it isn’t happy with the recent controversy that has engulfed the league. […]
The league has come under fire for its handling of former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice’s assault of his then-fiancée. The Minnesota Vikings have also been criticized for allowing Adrian Peterson to play while he faces a charge of abuse for spanking his 4-year-old son with a wooden switch. …

Didn’t RGIII just get told he couldn’t wear a Jesus shirt anymore?
This is the reason that bad things are happening in the NFL. Good influences are being purged. Just like Tony Dungy.
Alcohol plays a role in an overwhelming majority of domestic violence cases, Busch should come out with a new brand; wifebeater.
“Wifebeater beer...drink like the pros.”
They going to stop advertising in the NBA too? How about college FB? What is the common thread?
Pray America wakes
Too much strutting, skipping and prancing between each play. Real men make the play, get up and line up. 60’s football wasn’t this way and some of those guys were real roughnecks and partiers.
If all felons were banned from Congress, just think how few ‘representatives’ we'd have!
Sounds reasonable.
No one did it back then because they didn’t want to get crippled by other players self policing them for their extreme jerkitude. Now the cool players can’t police the jerks, even if they wanted to, which I doubt. Modern officiating, a million camera angles, each game meaning so much doesn’t allow it.

but does decapitation really count as violence? It's merely a muslim ritual......
If all felons were banned from Congress, just think how few ‘representatives’ we’d have!
Answer: None!
I wonder the same thing? And without being found guilty in a court of law?
Then pull your ads!
“Does Bush fire all their employees that are arrested for Domestic Violence?”
Bush employee commits murder, goes to jail.
NFL star commits murder, he becomes a TV analyst ....
Anyone care to bet of Anheuser-Busch pulling their ads?
I never cared for Budweiser anyway, give me a MILLER LITE(Great Wisconsin Beer) everytime.
InBev aint A-B
Dittos all that plus the phrase -—extreme jerkitude. You and I know how it was and how it should be. Freepers know this
If no one replaces Busch maybe we can cut 45 minutes from games and an hour from the Stupor-Bowl
Oh no! Not another “Busch”...
Anybeer But Busch!
Below are the directors of the current Imbev board. They are the boys currently whining about “they don’t appreciate what the NFL is doing”. I don’t like the NFL anymore but I sure don’t like these Belgians, Brazilians and Germans telling such an iconic American INDUSTRY (the NFL) what to do. On his way out the door Roger G. would make a lot of friends if he told em all to FO! Of course he won’t.
