It means it's not getting reordered.
Or so I've gathered from hearing about it.

Yup. Costco won't carry the Bud Light any more.
For a major distributor like Costco to stop ordering/stocking your product? Yeah, it's a death knell.

Maybe we should change the law and make incompetence in corporations illegal? That way we can remove bad ceos!

Good. Every time I go to a store, the Bud Light is always available in large quantities. It may be getting a bit long in the tooth though XDStill dropping....
Anheuser Busch revenue drops nearly $400 million after Bud Light controversy
The controversy surrounding Bud Light in the U.S. seriously cut into parent company Anheuser Busch’s bottom line, according to a recent report.
So...apparently someone wants to embrace the Bud Light...and that someone is the UFC!

TLDR
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) announced that Bud Light will become its official sponsor as part of a partnership with Anheuser-Busch...
"Anheuser-Busch and Bud Light were UFC's original beer sponsors more than fifteen years ago. I'm proud to announce we are back in business together," UFC CEO Dana White said in a statement about the partnership on Tuesday. "There are many reasons why I chose to go with Anheuser-Busch and Bud Light, most importantly because I feel we are very aligned when it comes to our core values and what the UFC brand stands for. I'm looking forward to all of the incredible things we will do in the years ahead." [BOLD is my emphasis]
The responses are already coming...
-"Lighting that money on fire would have been less embarrassing than what's about to happen. Fighters are gonna hate this. Fans will hate it. The customers aren't coming back," wrote former Republican congressional candidate Robby Starbuck.
-"Are you saying that UFC is okay with Bud Light promoting the evil transgender ideology of Dylan Mulvaney? Signed, millions of fans who will boycott you too," asked conservative host Liz Wheeler on X, formerly Twitter.

…Dana White just did one of the dumbest things he possibly could have for the continued health of the UFC.
Much like AB, the majority of the people that watch it are right wing or right leaning. Many of them will not stand for giving money to a company that shakes hands with Tranheuser.
Does the UFC have a board? Cause if they do, I’d have some very serious questions for White at the next meeting.

It's not Dana White's call its "Endeavor Group Holdings" that decides that sort of stuff.
Fun fact alot of the "righ wing moral guardian" stuff was in fact left wing. For example the freak out over GTA in the late 90s was lead by Tipper Gore.
Thier parent company bought out Vince actually
Which is even wielder to me.
Isn't, or wasn't Dana White very much a republican and a outspoken Trump supporter?
Yeah he's personal friends with Trump because Trump used to let the UFC use his venues in the 90s. Which is actually a big part of how MMA was able to become a legit sport as most American venues wouldn't host fights. As they said it was to brutal and such Chief among them was John McCain.
Carrot of Truth
War is Peace
Pretty sure McCain was taking bribes from the Boxing industry since they were the biggest opponents of MMA early on.
Maybe wouldn't be surprised boxing has always been an extraordinarily corrupt sport with deep ties to organized crime afterall.
This isn't going to pull Bud Light and its parent company up from sinking beneath the waves: All it's going to do is drag the UFC brand down into a cold, watery grave along with Bud Light. smh

The UFC has been in decline for awhile since it pays its fighters like shit and doesn't even let them have sponsors anymore, The Bud Light thing is just one more bad decision on a long list.
