In a response to the recent backlash over Bud Light’s “woke” advertising campaign, Major League Baseball teams have started to experiment with a new policy of not selling Bud Light until the fourth inning of games. According to sources, this decision was made to avoid any potential issues with fans who may be triggered by the beer’s connection to the controversial stance of the recent Anheuser Busch partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney .
“We understand that some fans may be upset with Bud Light’s recent advertising, and we want to make sure that everyone in the stands feels comfortable and included,” said a spokesperson for the MLB. “By delaying the sale of Bud Light until the fourth inning, we hope to give everyone in the stadium a chance to settle in and enjoy some other beers made by Anheuser Busch which fans have no clue are actually the same company as Bud Light.”
The move has been met with mixed reactions from fans, with some applauding the MLB for taking a stand against “woke” advertising, while others have criticized the decision as an overreaction.
“I think it’s great that they’re taking a stand against Bud Light,” said one fan. “I don’t want to support a company that doesn’t share my values. Plus, waiting until the fourth inning gives me a chance to try some of the other beers they have on tap.”
However, others have argued that the policy is unnecessary and could lead to upset people waiting in lines and more frustration among fans.
“I don’t see why they have to delay the sale of Bud Light,” said another fan. “I mean, if people want to drink it, they’re going to drink it regardless of when it’s available. Plus, now we’re going to have to wait even longer to get our waterd down overpriced beer.”
It remains to be seen whether the new policy will be adopted by all MLB teams or if it will be limited to a few experimental stadiums. However, it’s clear that the controversy over Bud Light’s advertising campaign has had a ripple effect across the league, and fans will be watching closely to see how things unfold. One thing is for certain, beer at baseball games is as American as gun violence.
