Article with more info.
It’s interesting to me that liberals still won’t admit that BLM and pride are political.
quote:
Peloton's spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the company asked for its ad to be pulled from a December 2021 episode featuring an interview with Kennedy, due to the company's "brand safety guidelines" restricting proximity to political content. The spokesperson said the company "continued to advertise with him." According to the spokesperson, Peloton's "brand safety guidelines" prohibit the company from advertising in proximity to "drug and alcohol use, vulgar language, inappropriate things, crude humor, sexual themes, political issues, racial issues," and other similar issues. Fox News Digital asked the spokesperson about Peloton's endorsement of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020. The spokesperson pointed to company "values" and said "equity has always been a core value for the company."

Yes. White addresses this. He basically says the amount of money over the years that BL has spent on Veterans far outweighs one stupid mistake.

Bc admitting they are just part of the machine would destroy their pretending to be independent thinkers(while almost all using the exact same talking points lol)

I don't necessarily disagree with him, but there's still a boycott contention. That's all.
I've been "boycotting" Bud Light for a very long time, based on the taste of the beer, before some tranny showed up on TV.

Something tells me that Theo didn’t really want to trash a sponsor. He probably needs every sponsor dollar he can find. White on the other hand could give two shits.

They shouldnt be, but Democrats made them political.

Well you clearly didn't watch the episode.

Yeah I don't think you realize how much money that group of comedians is currently making.

Yes he talks about it in the full interview and explains why he did it. Basically because of all the good things Bud Light helps support like veterans and not the one mistake they made. He pretty much calls all the people boycotting it still a bunch of mouth breathers.
ETA - What the poster before me said.

Yeah, they can't have it both ways. You can't say, "No to politics (that we don't like). However, politics we like are okay."

Bingo.
Let's take Black Lives Matter. That statement, in itself, in light of the Chavin/George Floyd fiasco, was not a harmful statement or one that the conservative side of the spectrum should be against acknowledging.
HOWEVER, when that statement got taken over into "BLM" by folks who had agendas beyond just "black lives matter", such as income redistribution, anti-oil & gas, pro-communism, it made the original statement completely toxic and something that completely divided Americans.
I, personally, can rally around the statement "black lives matter", but I give the middle finger to what that movement has become.

Also, Bud Light has not taken a stance of demanding someone follow their beliefs. All they did was run a marketing campaign supporting that Dylan dude and it backfired.

So he called a still pretty significant portion of the die-hard Trump base mouth breathers?

That’s the gist but he prefaces the interview with letting everyone know he is having lunch the next day with Trump on his airplane so Dana obviously DGAF what any offended people think.

Did Bud Light try to tell the UFC who they could have on their PPVs/Fight Cards?
Actually the Bud Light thing was people trying to cancel them for who they had on their can. Those people have a lot in common with the Peloton CEO "You should only have guests that represent my side"
Glad Theo had Dana there to back him up and tell that dude to go frick himself.

That’s a good way to put it. Dana said that the people at Bud Light align well with UFC and aren’t trying to influence his product. It’s a very clear business relationship and nothing more.
The one marketing mistake amounted to something like 1 billionth of all the good things the BL brand has done for the US and people want to gloss over all those.
The way he explained it painted the boycotters as sort of hypocrites. He makes a good point.

So why advertise with Theo von then?
