        I worked at a sporting goods store that sold guns and athletic apparel during the Colin Kaepernick/Nike deal, and the amount of people coming in to BUY Nike clothing and some ammo to shoot it with…

        I wonder if it ever clicked for any of them that they’re still buying Nike and more importantly, they’re giving free advertising every time they upload a video to facebook to show all their buddies how they owned the libs today.

      Anheuser-Busch still dominated the market last year and remains the largest beer company in the world. These bigots don’t have the power they think they do.

        I work at a restaurant. I had a customer last month talking about how he won’t drink Bud Light anymore, as he asked me for a Busch Light.

          This is both sad and funny. I would be very tempted to explain this to him and then offer a Michelob instead. Or a Stella Artois on the house.

      My dad stopped drinking Bud Lite. “Will never touch it again.”

      Switched to Busch products…
