This is the email I received after sending them an email that I will not drink their beer as long as they advertise on the NFL:
Tom,
Thank you for your email, we always appreciate feedback from our consumers and take your concerns seriously.
At Anheuser-Busch we have a long heritage of supporting the institutions and values that have made America so strong. That includes our armed forces and the national anthem as well as diversity, equality and freedom of speech. We proudly employ over 1,100 military veterans and we work every day to create an inclusive environment for all of our employees.
Anheuser-Busch has many long-term sports partnerships, including our NFL sponsorship, and while we may not agree on everything, we still believe in the power of sport to bring people together and overcome their differences.
We understand your concerns and will convey them to the NFL.
Thank you,
Anheuser-Busch
“Anheuser-Busch has many long-term sports partnerships, including our NFL sponsorship, and while we may not agree on everything, we still believe in the power of sport to bring people together and overcome their differences.”
Yeah, but wait until this line of thinking starts affecting their bottom line. They are owned by the Krauts now as I recall, so it will be “der bottom ligne uber alles!”
I’ll be sending them the same message. Thanks for the tip.
I just told Budweiser they can keep their beer and their other products.
