And Dana White, major conservative, says their core values align! Have we decided if any fighter who agrees to fight in the Octagon with the Bud Light logo on it should be considered pro-trans? I can’t believe they did this after all the activism against…something! Edited October 24, 2023 by HomeskillitMoorman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 So Bud Light in an attempt to salvage its brand dumps a record sponsorship in the lap of UFC. This clearly means that UFC isn't transphobic. Dylan Mulvaney can be the ring girl! It's amazing how core values magically align after all those zeroes and commas 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDHillFan Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) Bud Light threw up on themselves and, in the phrasing of the genius that promoted Mr Mulvaney, told their customers they didn’t like them. Bud Light paid a very substantial price for it. Now they can attempt to recover, which they will. It was never going into perpetuity. What won’t recover is skillet’s reputation for sardonic commentary. Exceedingly weak and un-clever effort on his part. Frankish probably likes it. They seem to have a similar bent for “wit”.

Or to be woke, I guess it wouldn’t be homoerotic with a trans woman. Maybe they’re still in denial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Buffalo Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Taking money from Bud Light is not the same thing as giving them money. If Bud Light wants to give me a ton of money I will take there money also. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dylan Mulvaney fiasco initially was about both money (marketing to satisfy ESG scores) and political/cultural (bowing to woke transgender ideology). Once the brand predictably fell off a cliff it became all about money and AB distancing themselves or firing all involved. The Bud Light fiasco was never about "transing" anyone, because Bud Light is beer and it is marketed to adults. The issue here is with companies, in their woke quest to satisfy ESG scores, asking their loyal adult customers to indulge the trans fantasy that men can become women. The vast majority of people don't give a ***** what fantasy delusion Dylan Mulvaney or anyone else wants to indulge in. He can say he's a rock, a squirrel, a woman or a lilypad. Just stop demanding that sane people take any of it seriously. The forced trans bs is with kids. In schools.

L Ron Burgundy Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Bud light should not be classified as beer. I hope we can all agree on that much. More like seltzer. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Callahan Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Rumors saying its 100 million a year deal. Who would say no thank you to that? that's in business to make money? This little nugget is interesting. Under the new agreement, which starts in January, Anheuser-Busch Inbev (NYSE: BUD) will be UFC’s global beer partner. It will prioritize Bud Light in the United States, with the discretion to emphasize any of its other brands (such as Corona, Stella Artois, Quilmes and Michelob Ultra) in other countries. Wonder why that is. Edited October 25, 2023 by Tommy Callahan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding demographics, the highest chunk of UFC viewers who regularly tune in to events is between 25 to 54 years old, with the highest percentage belonging to the 25 to 35 age bracket. Most of these viewers are male, which is 90% of the total count, while the remaining 10% are female audience.

I wasn't so much talking about age/sex profile as I was talking about other things. In other words, the intersection between UFC viewers and "foodies" and other craft beer enthusiasts strikes me as pretty minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, I will assume that is was a type of virtue signaling. This obviously bothered a lot of people for a variety of reasons. Even if I were a Bud Light drinker it wouldn't have bothered me. To be honest, for some people (including someone I know who now googles various beers to make sure Anheuser Busch does not own them) it seems to be good old fashioned "I don't want to be ridiculed as the guy who drinks gay beer." Others saw it as further normalization of trans people and part of a larger trans agenda, telling kids "it's cool to be trans." Whatever. People should have more important things to think about than some minor internet celebrity getting a tiny social media influencer gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
