So we are on day 2 of y’all going all whambulance because some Tic Tok Super Freak got some kind of sponsorship and you didn’t. That’s fucking rich!
So now it’s boycott, boycott!!! You will put Budweiser out of business soon just like you did with Nike and the NFL. Oh snap, no you didn’t.
I have never been on TicTok but I would think that kid didn’t get that but sitting around all day crying about someone else.

Alright , off to work I go so I can earn something I’ll check in later to see what y’all are crying about next.

Oh, thanks for the entertainment!! 😂😂
And thank you for sharing your beautiful creation and highlights of your boating passion on these pages.

You make me wish I were young again and out busting my ass and scaring the piss outta myself in my old Hondo. That, in stark contrast to most everything else, including most of what I read on these RDP forums, that makes me thankful I'm fucking old.
I also thank you for that.

We're not all haters, although to be honest, the more they try to shove their "Woke-ness" up my aging ass, the less tolerable I'm becoming, so I certainly have my moments, just ask my poor wife. :oops:🤣

So here's my take, not that anyone cares. I think most folks are very tolerant. I know I am. I don't care about sexual orientation. I don't share mine with you, or anyone else, it's my business and mine alone. My choice of clothing is also mine, what someone wears or how they identify doesn't bother me in the least.

I would hope the Trans community would do the same. Again, I don't care. But it seems we as the general public are having this shoved down our throats to not only accept, but to approve. I'm not naive enough to believe that this hasn't and won't continue, just think that advertisers need to lay off the forced acceptance. Americans don't like being told what to do, or how to believe. It's just a natural reaction.

I think Bill Clinton got it right with his statement about gay's in the military, don't ask, don't tell. I get that the gays in the military isn't the same exact thing as acceptance of the Trans community, but I believe don't ask, don't tell is a "dead...solid...perfect" stance on this.

This will show whether people really listen/care/react to having something shoved down their throat. Stock price at end of June will tell all.

Gareth Boyd, Marketing & PR Director at Forte Analytica, says that while he can understand where the decision came from it is 'not the right way to go about it.' He said: 'I really cannot understand their approach for this because their core audience just cannot relate.

'Cutting your core audience in the hope you can draw a completely new audience in, who haven't been exposed before, doesn't make sense. 'Most US families are exposed to their father drinking the beer, or other family members, but it has never been seen as the cool beer. 'In terms of what they did this year was good, with the Superbowl, but now they've come off the back of something really good and lit it on fire.

'Kid Rock is the poster boy for Bud Light, and for someone like him to come out and shoot cans it tells you a lot about the reaction from their core base customers. People pouring beer down their sink, it says quite a bit about how out of touch they have been with this campaign.

'If we had been working with them then it isn't something that we would ever have recommended.

Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender influencer on social media, has been chosen as a brand ambassador for Bud Light - a decision which has now been slammed

Big Brands can’t wait to jump on the bandwagon.

So, say it with me - Yuengling Lager, traditional and lite. By the way, if you’ve been to Nashville, you might notice that the biggest ( 5 levels!) bar on Broadway is Kid’s place. I can only imagine how much Anheiser Product they sell, and I’m sure the marketing department is hearing from the sales department right now. We all know KR says what he feels, and doesn’t give a damn what AB thinks. If he refuses his order for a week, it would show up in the national sales numbers. Nike has been a lost cause for a while - i wouldn’t wear their stuff if it was free - I’m not giving LBJ a dime ( sorry MJ).

I have bud light in my beer fridge that’s been there for over a year. Nobody wanted to drink it anyway, and now I can toss it without feeling wasteful. And I’ve never cared for Jack Daniels, so I’m good there too.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a bud or bud light in any of my fridges. Couldn’t stand the taste before this shit even happened. Talk about swill. Even as some post have said. Even if free id pass

Most people don't like the taste of beer anyway.

Gonna lay down some knowledge. All that cancel culture BS from Libtards that we all like to bitch about. Yall are doing it right now.

AB didnt try and rob a nice lady in her 80s for a well pump, they didnt build a brand new 6 figure boat thats a pile of shit and falling apart, they didnt try and sell me a full suspension rebuild on a 3k mile suspension system that only went in for an alignment and then try and hide it when I called them on it. They just gave some dude/chick/thing some beer. it doesnt directly affect anybody here.

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Pretty sure 3/4 of the members here posting have no idea that they’ve either done business with, interacted with or even as far as hit on someone from the trans community that is a member here. I understand the whole shoving down out throats shit but that doesn’t change that fact these these people have the right to live happy, just as you have the right to boycott products.

Sadly, RDP has had its own built in cancel culture for years now.

The people that run it, have absolutely zero clue that they do.

But with that being said...

There is also nothing wrong with having an opposing point of view!

Did Bud send out comerative cans to people that actually deserve it?

Nope. They don't.

They are celebrating the HeyLAM crowd, by doing the HeyLAM thing themselves.

For that, they are getting shit on. I truly feel they deserve it...

Where are the cans for the LEO's, that put their own lives in danger to take out a crazy tranny shooter?

Where are the custom made cans for those guys? Hmmmm?

Has saving children taken a back seat to changing ones sexual identity?

This world is fucking broken. Ain't no doubt about it.

I whole heartedly and 100% agree with everything you said here. My only point was that sometimes we need to look in the mirror ourselves. If we are so much better than Facebook and Reddit and whatever else, this is exactly where we should show it and not be like them.

A letter or email to AB expressing your discontent/disagreement with their decision to do this would be the respectful way to do things, Blasting them online and chanting "Cancel AB"? I know I would like to think that OUR community is a little bit above that. You know, at the upper tiers of society where we can find glowsticks and dogs, people lending other people their trailer, borrowing boats and kindly emptying the gas tanks for the owners and knocking that like new shine off so they dont have to do it themselves, captaining a pontoon full of bridesmaids....😁

Nike as well


Nike has sparked fury after starting a partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney - who posed for a series of pictures in leggings and a sports bra.

Mulvaney, 26, posted videos and photos on her Instagram page Tuesday, tagging Nike Women while linking to the products' pages.

Furious feminists, and some men, slammed the decision by Nike to give the coveted sponsorships for a prominent women's line to a transgender woman
