Baseball icon Ken Griffey Jr. has been embroiled in the continuing controversy surrounding Bud Light, following a partnership initiated with Budweiser last week.
“Look like an All-Star. Introducing the Budweiser x Ken Griffey Jr. All-Star Collection. Shop now at the link in bio,” tweeted the official Budweiser account last week. Along with the announcement, an animated video showcased the variety of T-shirts branded with Griffey’s name. This release serves as an extension of an earlier partnership which kicked off with a heartwarming Father’s Day video featuring Griffey and his father. Start shopping now via the link in our bio.
Budweiser faced criticism after a fleeting collaboration with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, eliciting negative reactions from both conservatives, who urged for a boycott, and progressives, who reproached the company’s handling of the initial backlash.
Users voiced their disapproval on Budweiser’s tweet, critiquing the company’s perceived effort to regain customers in the aftermath of the controversy.
“This won’t work, either. Try an apology,” a Twitter user wrote.
“Your company is now a punch line,” one user stated.
