Bud Light faces backlash for disabling comments on new country-themed commercial.

Bud Light is facing criticism for releasing a county-themed commercial and disabling comments on YouTube. The commercial, which debuted during the NFL Draft, is a clear nod to American country music and its fans, designed to appeal to the humor of its more traditional market, much of which was alienated by the controversy. The partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney at the beginning of April caused sales to plummet. The move has caused outrage on social media, with some users calling the company "cowards."
