In light of the all the ESPN firings, here's a prophetic voice of someone who stood up against the newest Woke Tyrant, Malika Andrews.

Every single day must be down right exhausting for some people.
The people screaming that everything is woke are way worse than the people that actually are woke, whatever that means anyway. Reveling is people losing their jobs, canceling everyone or any company that even acknowledges there are other people in the world other than straight white men. Who the hell cares if Bud Light markets to gay people, that's a lot of people to sell beer to.
You knew Malika Andrews wouldn't be hit by the layoffs, would have bet $1000 on it.
Gay and trans is not the same thing, thought you were woke.
I am not seeing how Mailika is allegedly “woke” here?
Didn’t she just simply report the facts regarding the Brandon Miller situation on draft night and now some claim she targets the negative aspects of black athletes?
Seems like that would be the opposite of what “wOkE” allegedly is.

Hmmm, so it’s the “anti-woke” who have been driving cancel culture? Interesting perspective.
She "me-too'd" Jalen Rose for nothing by calling him out for inappropriately grabbing her on TV when it was clear he did nothing. He was so upset about the situation that he later addressed the issue on IG. She's also been a part of the "believe all women" campaign during the Celtics scandal.
If you're going to be a contrarian, do your homework first.
Supporting homosexuality isn't the issue. The issue is supporting mental delusion within the trans community.
You realize you just described what the left did for an entire decade…attempting to cancel anyone who had ever tweeted something and get them fired from their jobs or private individuals that didn’t fall in line with how they ran their private business…..not just ppl choosing to spend their money somewhere else when a major corporation pushes agendas.
The equivalent you’re searching for would be if LGBTQ members choose not so spend money at Chick-fil-A due to Christian values.
The other side just started fighting back instead of rolling over. Nobody has high ground. Distractions and division is the ultimate goal for the elites as we move toward a totalitarian society
I don't know how, but you got this completely mixed up. I mean, how could you get this so arse backwards??
Woke has nothing to do with ESPN'S problems.
Lmao doesn’t he do that with just about every single topic?
She me-too’d Jalen Rose by asking him to get his hand out of her armpit? Seems pretty light for me too.
Most people tend to believe all women until given reason not to. Not really sure how that’s “wOkE” as you called it. Seems she also reports on a lot of the same stuff you would be in support of, such as the violence problem among young black athletes. That sounds like the opposite of this alleged “wOkE” bahavior.
No one is being contrarian, princess. Come on down off your cross, somebody else is going to need the wood!
The alphabet people make up around 7-8% of the human population.
Not exactly a group I would market my product to increase profits. But one I would target if I was trying to push an agenda.
That’s roughly 650 million giving or taking a bit for estimated population. That doesn’t even account for people who elect to support them. Seems like a pretty poor business model not to.
Also, considering SCOTUS ruled today that private businesses should be able to serve who they choose, which the right applauded and which I agree, isn’t it a little hypocritical to then diminish a business who choose to support and serve any group they like.
Bud light has lost $27 billion.
Target has lost $15.7 billion.
Would you care to point to a business where they made money by pandering to the left’s political ideology?
No it’s not hypocritical. There’s a big difference between voting with your wallet and supporting businesses that celebrate and encourage sinful behavior. I believe in free will and individual freedom far more than most most conservatives. However, I do not agree with the celebration and endorsement of sinful practices that is occurring in modern America.

Bud Light screwed themselves because they pissed off both sides, yet they are already seeing an increase and are only down around 8 points.
Target had also seen an almost 10 pt increase over their low for their year going into the week. They will ultimately build brand loyalty that will recoup their short-term losses.
As for companies that have supported LGBTQ communities: Apple, Nike, Amazon, Starbucks, Walmart, Dicks sporting Goods, Hersheys and countless others have supported them and increased profits
If anything there is more support than ever.
Bud Light has lost $27 billion and they won’t get it back. These aren’t people that are boycotting beer and holding out until they want a beer again. They’ve moved on to other choices. Bud Light won’t get them back. And even more ironic and hilarious, the attention seeker tranny has now come out against InBev for not “supporting” him in this tough time. No you dope, they’re not supporting you. They support money. That’s what marketing is. If they use you in a marketing campaign and it costs them billions of dollars, buh bye. That’s how business works. They don’t owe you support. These attention seekers are nasty people and Bud Light is paying dearly for making such a dumb mistake. Hopefully other corporations will see that the pendulum is swinging the other way and we’re tired if it.
I disagree. History shows us people forget and move on. And money talks. When it becomes a cheaper option than others, people will buy it. Particularly as more time passes. However, they did manage to piss off both sides, so they could be an anomaly.
Again, though, as I pointed out, many other companies have done the same and seen major increases in sales. So I am not sure what pendulum is swinging. Sounds like if you just pick a side, you will guarantee yourself at least 50% support.
Disney has lost almost a billion dollars recently on movies that most would consider “woke”.
Disney laid off over 7000 people recently.
Disney owns ESPN.
People can roll their eyes at politics but ultimately they can’t ignore it. It has seeped into everything.
I don’t think so in Bud Light’s case. Lots of options out there. For people that decided to stop buying it, they won’t get them back. Too many other options. People have already moved on. I haven’t had a Bud Light in my refrigerator in over a decade anyway so it didn’t affect me either way, I’m getting a kick out of watching what’s happened though.
As far as picking a side and getting 50% support, the trans community is less than 5% of the population. They’d have been better off sticking with the base that built them, now they’re the Queen of Beers. Oops.
I think it could go either way, but historically those large brands bounce back. Ultimately, I think they will as well.
5% of 8.1 billion is still a lot of people. Any businesses goal is to grow they base as much as possible. Much like the black community, Jewish community, Asian community, gay community and so forth, hell, even women at one point in time, the trans community will become more and more accepted over time, and most will forget this was ever a thing. These companies will all survive as well.
I come here for basketball chat. I stay here for the piercing right wing commentary. Can't live without your political views.
Big fan of mutilating children? Men parading naked down city streets in front of children? Elementary school indoctrination to be accepting of all manner of degenerates? Nah, folks are starting to fight back. It's gotten too stupid.
@Cowtown Cat and @STL_Cat ,
Leadbelly is the contrarian in this thread, as always.
Rearrange the letters of @Dale Lybel and you've got Leadbelly.
Got to hand it to him. That was almost clever; but he's like a bad serial killer who just keeps mindlessly leaving the same clues every time. Rust Cohle and Marty Hart would figure this dude out in about twenty minutes.
I'd actually demote him as a troll for failing to improve. He's like the Rodrick Rhodes of trolls. Came in ranked in the top 2, but played like a G-leaguer after the first setback.

I agree with you sometimes. It's not unheard of. If you weren't such an over-the-top weirdo, you'd probably have a longer shelf life around here and not have to resort to creating 120 accounts like you're some type of fringe spectrum-level sideshow.
Yes, by the christian right. As they say, there’s no better hate than christian love.
If you were born with a dick you ain't no chick.
Yes, they will eventually forget this boycott and "move on", but they'll do so by just continuing to buy the new brand they've now switched to ...not by switching back.
Product boycotts fail when the product offers something unique that consumers will miss going without. But that ain't the case here. Light beer is an extremely fungible product because ...let's face it ..aren't they about all essentially the same thing? Those who switch to a competitor like Coors Lite or Miller Lite ain't missing a damn thing. It's just a different colored can. So there's absolutely no reason to switch back. THAT's the reason this boycott has had so unusually much staying power.
Bud Light became successful not because of the product quality, but instead because its marketing and advertising people did such a fantastic job for 30 plus years of creating a brand identity and loyal consumer base who just bought it out of habit. But now seems they've torpedoed all that work with one stupid move.
Hilarious. Whenever you close out with a statement like that, I know I struck a nerve.You agreed with me because you didn’t realize it was me. And thats because you’re honestly kind of dumb.
That might hurt more if it wasn’t coming from someone with over 30 posts just today, over 150 for the week, over 36000 in total. I’ll gladly take the claim of 120 accounts and move on with my life. At least I have one.
I would have to care for that to occur. But I knew I would get the only reply you were left with. Obviously you couldn’t retort it!Hilarious. Whenever you close out with a statement like that, I know I struck a nerve.
Could happen, but as Bud Light stays the cheaper option, it becomes more accessible for the average consumer who wants a good, cheap option. Bud light can provide that while building back their consumer base. Then they will begin to increase their price back to its original point. That’s why they are already seeing a slow increase. Historically, that’s how these boycotts also go. Time generally heals all.
Am I the only one that finds this hilarious? Vomit-inducing, perhaps, but hilarious nonetheless.
No, I disagree. The Bud Light thing has little to do with boycotts by people who are against the Trans movement, in my opinion. I think it's a matter of being completely deaf and blind to your own customer base and allowing a woman (marketing "expert") who actually hates the majority of your customer base, calling them "fratty" and implying they're totally out of touch, to create your ad campaigns in order to appease the alphabet police. That brand is dead, write it down. I'm guessing 75% or more of Bud Light's customer base are straight, white guys who drink in groups and who have exactly ZERO interest in being associated with Dylan Mulvaney. And who cares what Dylan Mulvaney calls themself today. Can you imagine how much grief those guys would give another dude using Mulvaney as the ammo? He would never live it down, and we all know it. That brand is dead. Those guys have all switched to another brand of pee water and will never return. I will say, I've never seen anything like it. I've never drank a beer in my life, so it's not my doing, that much is sure. A totally tone deaf marketing scheme did it, scoring points with who? Less than 1% of the population?
