NFL Abuse Scandal Fallout Continues: Official Beer Sponsor Anheuser-Busch Is "Disappointed and Concerned"

http://www.eonline.com/news/579803/...-anheuser-busch-is-disappointed-and-concerned

Others in the article are

Anheuser-Busch
Campbell Soup Company
Pepsi Co
McDonalds
Radisson (Specifically in Minnesota)
CoverGirl


and of course the NFL followed up with a statement

"UPDATE: The NFL responded to the influx of sponsorship concerns with the following: "We understand. We are taking action and there will be much more to come." "
 
I hate that media runs everything.

Let the law take care of what people are doing, than let their bosses decide the rest of the punishment.

Mrs rice could be a sponsor for cover girl showing what products she uses to hide evidence of a beat down. I know bad taste but it was there. In all seriousness the sponsors looking at the product on the field and the reduced ratings as well as all the off the field stuff will have more impact on this situation than anything else. There are millions of dollars at stake there in TV revenue. These folks could get network shows canceled by pulling the ad money don't think it would be to hard to do so if no commercials were sold during the game.

This could even result in a class action suit by the advertisers, imagine what would happen to the nfl when the ads stop.
 
The NFL has problems for sure (what do we expect) as domestic abuse exists everywhere, unfortunately.

Then, there is this:

MEN SHALL take full care of women with the bounties which God has bestowed more abundantly on the former than on the latter, and with what they may spend out of their possessions. And the righteous women are the truly devout ones, who guard the intimacy which God has [ordained to be] guarded. And as for those women whose ill-will you have reason to fear, admonish them [first]; then leave them alone in bed; then beat them; and if thereupon they pay you heed, do not seek to harm them. Behold, God is indeed most high, great!
—Qur'an Surah 4:34

crickets!
 
Quoting passages from books inspired by a homicidal pedophile? islamo freak-a-zoids also endorse gang rape, female genital mutilation, public stoning, cutting off of hands and feet, bestiality all in the name of their "moon god".
So are you suggesting some type of tolerance by the NFL for AP whipping his boy with a switch like he was probably whipped by his old man?
 
Not at ALL! What I am suggesting is that the media is driving this 'outrage' over the NFLs handling of domestic violence WHILE close to 1.5 billion idiots subscribe to ritual beatings and worse exists without a peep from them! It's like the police spending all their time arresting the hookers and turning a blind eye to violent criminals.

I think that the DV is just a part of the outrage .. I think that people are SICK AND TIRED of Roger Dodger
 
The NFL is fat, bloated and full of themselves. They were the ones that desperately wanted to hitch their wagons to TV and sponsorship way back when so they could ride that gravy train and line their pockets with more money than we could ever imagine. And so they have. Well, then, they shouldn't be surprised when they take heat like this. The problem is they've gotten so big that they think they can call the shots on everything, even trying to make performers pay them to play at their 4 hour commercial that they call the super bowl. Sorry, I'm not feeling any sympathy for the NFL right now.
 
Not to condone what Rice did, but I just wonder what the media would do if Michael Sam punched out his "boyfriend" in an elevator? Not sure if they would know what to do then.

I'm pretty sure it would be widely criticized. Now, if they were being obscene in a parade... Well, that is something the media would consider as "diversity".

Guess it's never too late for them to fix everything by retroactively banning Ben Roethlisberger from the NFL and voiding all of our Super Bowl wins. You know it's coming.

I think that might be your best post ever. I am surprised you were able to keep it so short. Karma to you
 
I thought this thread would be about sponsors of Heinz Field or the Steelers about the caliber of the product on the field.
This is Goodells problem and more NFL politicking.

Not a peep because the victim would be a man. Most of this is the RadFem mafia getting their faces out there and smelling blood in the water vis-a-vis a shakedown opportunity.
 
You know when an alcohol company is condemning you for domestic violence, you have a problem
 
This is a crock of ****. It's just for PR and probably trying to get a discount on super bowl ads.
 
Let us get to the topic of what happens if the Commish is canned over this scandal. The Owners are going to have to hire a new Commissioner with a track record of creating clear policy and enforcing those policies like Goodell could not do. Think of it as Roger 2.0, an even bigger MeinFuehrer hell bent on molding the NFL into a kindler, gentler, even more Estrogen rich league.

Does the NFLPA have any input into the hiring of a new Commissioner, or is it strictly at the pleasure of the collected owners?
 
On one hand, when you have actual proof that a player knocked out his girlfriend and you turn the other way (2 game suspension) then you are a soulless ******* who must be removed. On the other hand, if we are going to start suspending players for "accusations" alone just to appease the bleeding hearts then look out world.

Honestly, if the Ben situation were happening right now the Steelers and the NFL would have to burn him alive on live television to appease the masses.

They still are --- I googled the NFL Scandals and go a site that listed the top 10 -- Ben was worse than SPYGATE --- on the first list I saw -- what a crock !! The list has since been revised ..
 
Roger created the current climate in todays NFL.

Weather the media runs with it, sponsors bail or what have you. This is who the owners wanted this is what the owners get.
