Shocked, but not I guess....SJW beer company.  Sun Maid raisins also didn’t like the video either.   Land of the fruits and nuts I guess.  Also NOT a DUPE as this thread pertains to sponsorships the team has lost over an outstanding video.

Second high-profile sponsor cuts ties with Grizzlies over Ocasio-Cortez video fiasco
https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article231011998.html

Heineken International, which owns Dos Equis and Tecate beer, late on Thursday confirmed it has pulled its sponsorships for those brands from the Fresno Grizzlies over an inflammatory video shown during a doubleheader on Memorial Day.
Dos Equis tweeted the announcement Thursday afternoon.
Heineken International also confirmed to The Bee via email it had ended its relationship with the Grizzlies.
“Both Tecate and Dos Equis were sponsors of the Fresno Grizzlies,” said spokesperson Thomas Hunt. “We do not support those views expressed in the video, that was aired during the Fresno Grizzlies game on Memorial Day. For that reason, we have ended this relationship, effective immediately and have let the team know of our decision.”
Heineken International declined to disclose the value of the sponsorships.
The decision comes one day after Sun-Maid Growers ended its corporate sponsorship with the Grizzlies, the Washington Nationals’ Triple A affiliate.
The Grizzlies have generated national headlines for airing a video tribute that includes a montage of images equating Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to the likes of North Korea dictator Kim Jong Un and former Cuban president Fidel Castro.
Sun-Maid was the first big-name sponsor to sever ties with the Grizzlies after the video.
“We are deeply disappointed by the Memorial Day tribute video the Fresno Grizzlies aired on Monday,” Sun-Maid said in an email sent to The Bee via public relations agency Havas Formula. “Sun-Maid does not support the views or sentiments expressed in the video, nor does it condone the airing of it.”
Other corporate sponsors are sticking with the team, for now. And its parent ball club, the Washington Nationals, is satisfied with the Grizzlies apology, despite calls for them to intervene.
Washington Post columnist Thomas Boswell chastised the Grizzlies for what he called an “incitement to hate.” He urged the Grizzlies to fire the employee responsible, and said that if they don’t the Nationals should intervene.
In a statement on Wednesday, Grizzlies president Derek Franks said the employee was reprimanded, but he declined to say what the punishment was.
Franks apologized and said the video error occurred because the incorrect tribute video was downloaded, and no one from the team’s front office watched the tribute to its entirety before its airing.

You can bet that Correct the Record, Share Blue, and other leftist propaganda groups, immediately flooded all their sponsors with thousands of threatening messages. It's sop now

That was a damn good video. Fuck Heineken and AOC

Heineken has turned tons of once great beers like Newcastle into swill, fuck Heineken.

Well, AOC is a hard core Socialist.

Wow.

The virtue signaling grows louder and louder every day.

Lines are being drawn and they are sharper then ever.

that was awesome.

whatshername is the face of antifa, resist and all those other shitstains... she's the living political embodiment.. don't like it, you're living in the land of make believe..

I know....any other interview she would praise Fidel..

Beer is beer. Get a local brewery the facetime. They will love you for it!

No one cares about Heineken....a euro piss beer if there ever was one.

Also didn’t hear any reports of the actual fans being mad.

Sun maid raisins are fucking little turds. As are all of those "beers".

Let them support AOC. See how that pays off.

Heineken is a pussy beer. Always has been.

This headline is like saying "it turns out that some guy named 'pussy fag' is indeed a pussy fag".

Meh - When a business takes a political stand, there tends to be consequences.

Any CEO with at least two functioning brain cells knows this.

Let's see that communist whore's juicy bloated puffy nipples bouncing around

You got it sir...

"Heineken is well known for its signature green bottle and red star."



Red star, eh?

FH

That long black hair would look good draped on my balls

But but she's an elected official!

Very powerful video, the time is coming where they soon stamp those videos out before they ever see the light of day.

Well my days of not drinking Heineken are certainly coming to a middle.

Man... Reagan... I didn't really appreciate him because I was a teenager... the man could deliver some inspiring words.. not just his delivery but his choices.

what a talented speaker

That was a great ad.  

Fukem.  Regan is right.

When the minor league made the major league.

Mental note, never buy Heineken beer again....

Some of these companies have no concept of marketing and or staying out of politics for their own good. I'm willing to bet that 80% of their US sales are to white males...meanwhile most white males can't stand AOC. While AOC fans buy maybe 3% of Heineken beer.

Makes no logic sense to step on your own dick, but then again if you hire SJW's out of college this is the result (ask Dick's how its working out).

Adding Heineken to my ban list.

I don’t drink that garbage anyhow.

Video was too accurate.

Thats why it pissed them off.

Killer video.

I will avoid Dos Equis Amber, because that bitch is evil.

Fuck communists, dictators, and all those who seek to exploit their fellow man.
And of course FUCK AOC, that piece of shit is an enemy of freedom and her placement in this video is the first roll I've seen her qualified to fill.

Full nutritional list of fattening, empty calorie crappy beers

Dos Equis keys off the same thinking as Corona: "gee, we're eating fake mexican food, shouldn't we drink a crappy pseudo-Mexican beer with it?"

Think we may have found one of our outraged SJW Marketeers:



A 12-pack of Questions with HEINEKEN USA’s Karla Flores

"In college football, they say winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing. HEINEKEN USA’s Karla Flores would say the same for Dos Equis, the official beer of college football. As Dos Equis Brand Director, Karla works tirelessly to find interesante ways to make Dos Equis stand out and win in the Mexican import segment. We chatted with Karla about taking risks with the brand, the idiosyncratic world of sports fandom, and why she knows more about cars than anyone else at the tailgate. Let’s grab a 12-pack of Q’s with Karla.

What did you study in school and what did you think you would do for a career?

I have a degree in industrial engineering. I thought I would work for an automotive company, looking after quality control or developing new parts for cars. I had a lot of internships in the automotive industry and I thought it was going to be something I would end up doing. When I had meetings with the marketing teams for new car models, I started realizing that I loved that more. They touched every single point of the business, not just the development of new parts or new cars..."

"...So now as Dos Equis Brand Director, what does your role entail?

I manage college football, all the Hispanic content for the brand, the Hispanic strategy, and the on-premise strategy as well. It requires a lot of collaboration and different touchpoints, depending on the maturity of the campaign. In the beginning, it’s all about creative development – there are a lot of agency calls and meetings. Then when it becomes more developed, there are a lot of touchpoints with the regions, sales, and commercial marketing department. There are 6 people on our team and we are divided by campaigns or programs. We have informal and formal catch-ups to get updates on our projects and issues so we’re aware of what’s happening and what needs to be modified. We make sure everyone is aligned with the brand strategy. I travel once or twice a month to different markets, mostly Texas and California, depending on the project I am managing, where it stands, if we have a shoot day and if we have a meeting with the region..."

"...What’s the most challenging part of your job?

Alignment – managing people and making sure everyone is working toward the same objective. Also, taking risks. Because we’re so small in relative terms to our competitors, we need to make sure that what we do will get people talking and thinking about us. How can we push more? How can we make it more edgy or fun? For example, since joining Dos Equis, I’ve been pushing to get us to talk about our heritage because we haven’t done that and it’s a big opportunity. Our competitors are taking a very serious tone with what they’re communicating. Dos Equis, being such a young and fun brand, can take a different approach. It took a year and 2 months (and a lot of internal and external effort) to get our current ‘Mexico is the Shit’ collaboration off the ground. But it’s all worth it – it’s fun and different. And we have some very cool events planned..."

"...In what ways are you and your team working to keep Mexican imports on top while the overall industry is going through a challenging time?

Knowing the environment, in 2019 we’ve started keeping objectives tighter and simple. The Mexican brands are making a lot of money, but unfortunately, so are our competitors. We are not losing, but we should be winning. Having programs that are relevant for California is important and connecting with the Mexican-American consumer is important. That’s why we’re creating programs for California and making sure our future 2020 campaigns are relevant for the Hispanic customer and not just the general market..."

They also have some.cheezy "Brew-gooders" program where employees submit ideas and get $100 to donate to the charity of their choice.



Looks to me like artwork for "Let's grow communism, comrade!"

Whatever. Their company, their rules. Our choice as to whether to consume their products.

To be fair the AOC image stuck out like a sore thumb but I generally have no fucks to give about most things.

Oh yes, the chromosome factor:

"In the past, beer has been a male-dominated field, but HUSA is proudly at the forefront of changing that – with women making up 40% of our workforce and 50% of senior management."

Yep.

Why? AOC has openly stated her aims for this country. She's a communist. Arguably a bigger threat than Kim Jong Un, because she's working on destroying the country from within.

Tecate was my late father's go-to beer on the relatively rare occasions he drank beer. Usually, only when we had a summer BBQ in the back yard.

I'm not the biggest Tecate fan, but I've enjoyed Dos Equis for 40+ years. I've generally favored Negra Modelo for the past 20 years, so the loss of Dos Equis (which had degraded in quality) will not kill me.

If I lose my beloved Negra Modelo, I will be bummed.



Mmmm... Now I want one but it's too late.

You are damn right President Reagan & we should be willing to kill every damn commie & dictator out there to achieve it.

Ironically, Heineken PMS moment over the ad will likely increase the ad's viewership a thousandfold, if not more.

Makes a good jizz wipe too.

I disagree. She fit in perfectly with the "enemies of freedom" depicted: Antifa, Kim Jong-un, AOC, Fidel Castro, the Anarchists, and finally, Antifa again.

The people depicted are Communists at their core, and AOC is an unapologetic Communist herself. She is part of that group and including AOC with the Communists is both accurate and appropriate.

Hey Heineken, the truth hurts huh.

Agreed. It was really well done. Should be a Trump campaign ad, to remind us all what's at stake

Yup!

Used to be okay to mock politicians. She's a member of the sacred People of Color though, so I guess that's off limits.

Agree.

Nothing inaccurate in that video.

Agreed, and made relevant for today.

In fact I am disappointed the team office back pedaled.

FYI they had some manufacturing in the US but moved it out of the country for branding purposes.  I've pretty much become disgusted with them for many reasons and never really enjoyed their main brand.

Wow.

That was an offensive video?
