One of the National Football League’s largest sponsors has made a move that has many believing it could be dropping the NFL — and it’s seeking America’s input on the decision.
According to the Indianapolis Star, Anheuser-Busch has set up an option on its consumer hotline specifically for fans to register their feelings on the recent national anthem protests in the NFL. The beverage giant has a $1.5 billion contract with the NFL through the 2022 season, and its flagship Bud Light product is the league’s official beer.
However, according to KTVI-TV in St. Louis, the beverage giant saw its customer hotline crash after a wave of calls criticizing the anthem protests and Anheuser-Busch’s sponsorship of the league.
So, if you call (800) 342-5283, the first option on the menu will be one for registering how you feel about the anthem protests.
“If you are calling with questions or comments about Anheuser-Busch’s sponsorship of the NFL, press one,” the recorded message says.
Pressing one will get you this: “At Anheuser-Busch, we have a long heritage of supporting the nation’s armed forces, veterans and military dependents. The national anthem is a point of pride for our company and for the 1,100 veterans that we employ. Please feel free to share your feedback after the tone.”
After last week’s round of protests in the NFL, the company tried to finesse its stance.
“These are complex issues that require in-depth discussions and nuanced debate,” Matt Kohan, the Anheuser-Busch senior director of marketing communications, said in a statement, according to CBS.
“What I can say is that at Anheuser-Busch we have a long heritage of supporting the institutions and values that have made America so strong. That includes our armed forces and the national anthem as well as diversity, equality and freedom of speech. We proudly employ over 1,100 military veterans and we work every day to create an inclusive environment for all of our employees. Because only together can we achieve our dream of bringing people together for a better world.”
The very fact that Anheuser-Busch feels the need to put the option to complain about the protests up front — and let’s face facts, there probably isn’t going to be a deluge of people applauding the protests, given recent poll numbers and ratings data — indicates that the company is seriously rethinking its relationship with the NFL.
If one of the league’s largest sponsorship partners is even considering distancing itself from football, you can bet they’re not the only one. If the boycotts get bad enough, companies may start to boycott the league. Now is the time to make your voice heard, starting with Anheuser-Busch. And, now that you know the number, you know what to do.
Please like and share on Facebook and Twitter and call Anheuser-Busch and let them know exactly how you feel.

I personally have stopped watching NFL and buying any product that advertises promoting them. Even though I had to give up my Bud it is worth it. Nobody should disrespect our flag or anthem. Anyone advertising these games are telling me America means nothing to them. I’m done with them and anyone representing them.
God Bless America. Long may her flag fly. I love my country more than any individual product or sport.

Agree . What these pukes are doing has a ripple effect across our society . Many people
will be adversely affected while these overpaid Prima-Donna's will not feel a thing other
than more false pride and ego for all their kneeling and fist pumping . Even after all the smoke
clears t he bad taste in my will not . They ruined the game . I will never look at it the same way .
If they are not admonished and lose something over this there will be more of the same down
the road .
