Anheuser-Busch CEO resigns

He may not have resigned but he could be axed if the bottom line is dramatically impacted
 
It is unbelievable how two (previously) alpha male brands - nhl and budweiser - have gone woke. What a way to destroy your brand.

The NHL seems to be moving against pride night...using women on broadcasts is just trying to get more women to watch. Don't really see the NHL as woke but maybe I'm missing something.

Hockey is my favorite pro sport, and even I must admit that the NHL is embarrassing itself in trying to show that it cares about every single so-called minority group that currently exists. I admire the athletes who have refused to be used as props by wearing certain warm up jerseys, and I say that as a person who has nothing against anybody's personal lifestyle choices. What I do have something against is these personal lifestyle choices being pushed down peoples' throats.

Also, unless I'm mistaken, black and gay people and females are not prohibited from watching the NHL on TV or listening to games or attending games.

Gillette did the same a few years back with commercials attacking "toxic masculinity". Probably not the best move for a shaving company.

I agree with you and fully support the players opting out. I wish all would but I also understand the decision making in this fake woke era.

Mark Madden, who is a Pittsburgh talk show host, recently said that maybe it's time to do away with players wearing all types of pregame warm-up jerseys, which include things like honoring the military and cancer victims. I know that may sound harsh, but maybe he's not wrong. Clearly, what started out as something good has devolved into acknowledging matters with which many players don't agree, and they really shouldn't be forced to make decisions like this and be criticized for their personal beliefs.

I come from a military family, and one of my great uncles was killed in the Battle of the Bulge, but I don't particularly care for all of the faux patriotism in which all of these leagues now engage.

I served and I'll take any faux patriotism by these leagues that we can get. The military is struggling with recruiting right now due to the wokeism. I guarantee recruiters don't want to see that faux patriotism go away.

I know, but often I believe that it becomes trite and forced, sort of when you here the news talking heads say "Thank you for your service" like a robot.

The Bud brands have been over priced and below average in taste for decades. But I would occasionally buy a case of Ultra when entertaining. That's now ended with their focus on woke publicity. I'll let my oldest son drink the rest of the case as he's watching his weight....

After searching out all the brands that they make I've bought my last case of Stella as well...

Stock is up 7% in the last month. I think he is going to be fine. Bud Light and Bud products is just a small segment of their products. They own over 500 brands. So bud light in the us market is just a ripple. People have short memories and this will be forgotten soon enough.

Yes, Anhueser Busch sold out to Inbev (Belgian company) about 10+ years ago. rumor at the time was that Augie Busch knew his son was a spoiled brat idiot and that if he let his son take over that the son would run it into the ground and he didn't want to see his family legacy ended so he sold out to protect it. We do a little bit of work with InBev, they are a horrible, horrible company to do work with.

Pretty sure all Coors and Miller brands are still owned by Molson Coors and not under In Bev, but hard to keep track to be honest.

You are right, AB Inbev did merge with SABMiller, but it was contingent on selling off US business.

"The Justice Department's antitrust officials have approved Anheuser-Busch InBev's $107 billion acquisition of competitor SABMiller.

To gain U.S. regulator's approval of the so-called Megabrew deal, Belgium-based AB InBev has agreed to sell its SABMiller's U.S. business, which will allow Molson Coors to sell beers such as Miller Lite and Miller High Life in the U.S."
