Charles Barkley criticizes Americans boycotting Bud Light, calling them “rednecks” and “a**holes”.
Former NBA Star Charles Barkley Defends Bud Light and Trans Community
Former NBA star Charles Barkley passionately defended Bud Light and the transgender community during a recent event in California. In a bold and unapologetic speech, Barkley expressed his support for the beer brand’s partnership with a controversial transgender influencer.
“So I’m gonna buy some drinks for y’all and I’m gonna buy Bud Light,” Barkley told the crowd. “Hey, let me tell you something. All you rednecks or a**holes who don’t want to drink Bud Light, f*** y’all. Hey, y’all can’t cancel me!”
Barkley continued to assert his stance, fearlessly challenging those who oppose the brand’s decision:
“Hey, I ain’t worried about getting canceled because let me tell you something, if y’all fire me and gimme all that money, I’m gonna be playing golf every f***ing day,” he declared. “So listen, as I said last night, if you’re gay, God bless you. If you’re trans, God bless you. And if you have a problem with them – f*** you.”
This wasn’t the first time Barkley expressed his support for Bud Light and the transgender community. At a golf event, he made similar remarks:
“I want y’all to drink this f***ing beer,” he exclaimed. “I want y’all to drink this f***ing beer. I got three cases of Bud Light.”
Barkley’s unwavering support for Bud Light comes amidst months of boycotts and declining sales for the brand. The partnership with the transgender influencer sparked controversy and led to a significant loss in market value for Anheuser-Busch, Bud Light’s parent company.
Anheuser-Busch responded to the influencer’s claims of inadequate defense:
“As we’ve said, we remain committed to the programs and partnerships we have forged over decades with organizations across a number of communities, including those in the LGBTQ+ community,” stated an Anheuser-Busch spokesperson. “The privacy and safety of our employees and our partners is always our top priority. As we move forward, we will focus on what we do best — brewing great beer for everyone and earning our place in moments that matter to our consumers.”
Charles Barkley’s bold defense of Bud Light and his unwavering support for the transgender community have sparked both controversy and admiration. His words serve as a reminder of the importance of inclusivity and acceptance in today’s society.
