I played in an oil and gas industry golf tournament yesterday and I think I heard 3 or 4 different mentions of the Bud Light situation during the day.
-First one was before the shotgun start when the bro sitting in the cart next to mine (already having a beer at 9:30am (NTTAWT)) brought it up and asked his group how many Bud Lights he thought they would serve during the day. They all chortled and one of them made a bad joke about starting to call his buddy Nikki instead of Nick if he drank one around them.
-Next one was during a back up on a Par 3 tee box where they had a beverage station set up. Backwards hat bro was so curious about the Bud Light situation he walked over to the lady working the bev station and asked to see her tally sheet where she marks all the different drinks they served (I assume so the beer sponsor can settle up at the end of the day). Looking back to his buddies, loudly: "Hey, y'all! How many Bud Lights do you think she has served today!!!!???...... None! hahahahahahaha! not a one! hahahahahahaha!"
-Next one was when one of my coworkers playing in our group brought it up after hearing backwards hat bro on the tee box. "Can you believe this Bud Light deal has cost them $5bn in market value already!!!!1!!!? I'm here for it." I tried to ignore it but ended up just telling him I thought it was another instance of contrived outrage and that I was on team Leave-People-The-Fuck-Alone.
-Last one was at the dinner afterwards when someone was drinking a Bud Light and someone else in their group made a crack to them about having to change their name, Nick/Nikki deal.
It never ceases to amaze me how much time/effort/anger is spent on these types of contrived outrage situations. I just can't imagine trying to keep up with all of this shit to make sure I was on top of the latest MAGAT outrage flavor of the day. Now Jack Daniels has gone woke too!
