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.

Anheuser-Busch must publicly apologize for promoting the trans-agenda and for demeaning their base, as in, "We're sorry we used a transgender as a spokes-model. We're sorry we were dismissive of the people who buy and drink our beer such as frat boys."
Anheuser-Busch must publicly admit they were wrong as in, "We were wrong."
Anheuser-Busch must publicly state they'll never get involved in promoting transgenderism or insulting their consumers such as, "We'll never do it again."
A-B can grovel all they want—I’m never, ever going to drink a Bud Light again. Never.
I don’t know. I switched to Miller Light which I think tastes better than Bud Light.
We are sure learning about some celebrities and what kind of people they are.
Paid shills say drink it
You didn't already know that celebrities are paid to run their mouths ?
Unless InBev makes a public apology and fires it CEO I will never knowingly buy any InBev products again. I am sure that I am not alone.
I agree. It would be interesting to see how much they are being paid to do this.
And if they are doing it for free (as unlikely as THAT would be) then that says even more about them.
Yes. Exactly how I feel about Gillette. Never again. Ever.
That’s the thing—- they’re not groveling at all. They paid off one guy to the tune of $100M and that’s supposed to make it all better. Not good enough
The only thing I know about any of these people is from FR.
Same here, and good point.
I have no idea who Dana White is but I saw somewhere he’s get $100 Million to hype Bud Light. I wouldn’t be surprise if Kid Rock was getting something, too.
I just don’t understand why anyone would drink that crap in the first place.
Celebrity endorsements ain't cheap.
When I saw Peyton Manning in a Bud Light advert, I knew AB management was spending BIG $$ in a throw of the dice to lure back market share.
Stay strong people. There’s still dozens of other options out there to InBev tranny fluid
Bud light tastes like “Pi$$” anyway, try a Yuengling much better beer
I switched to Yuengling Traditional Lager. Frankly I never heard of this beer until the Bud Light debacle. Yuengling is a real beer not the watered down versions of the light brands. It is also the oldest brewery in America. I didn’t know that before either. Try it. You will like it.
And stop with sponsoring homo pride month. But whatever... forever I will associate them with faggotry and see whatever apology they give as a ploy to get money.
They don’t mean it and we know it.
Never drank it before and won’t ever now. In my case it’s a wash for them. If I’d been a drinker of it before it would now be the same. Never again. Too many alternatives that are equal or better.
