Chuck’s never been one to hold back from speaking his mind.
Retired NBA player and current host of Inside the NBA Charles Barkley is well known for his honest (and humorous) takes on…well, just about everything.
And now he’s made his opinion known on the current controversy surrounding Bud Light.
The beer has found itself the target of boycotts since its decision to partner with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney back in March. Since then, Bud Light has lost its spot as the top-selling beer in America as boycotts and backlash have cost the brand nearly 30% of its sales.
But Charles Barkley isn’t giving up Bud Light, and he has a message for those who are: “F*ck y’all.”
Barkley was in Lake Tahoe for the American Century Celebrity golf tournament, when he got up on stage and addressed the crowd – and offered them some free beer:
“I’m gonna buy some drinks for y’all. And I’m gonna buy Bud Light.
And I’m gonna tell y’all something: All you rednecks or a**holes who don’t want to drink Bud Light, f*ck y’all.
Hey, y’all can’t cancel me. I ain’t worried about getting canceled. Because let me tell you something, if y’all fire me and give me all that money, I’m gonna be playing golf every f*cking day.
As I said last night, if you’re gay, God bless you. If you’re trans, God bless you. If you have a problem with them, f*ck you.”

Barkley had given a similar speech the night before, when he told the crowd:
“I want y’all to drink this f*cking beer. I got three cases of Bud Light.
And I want to say this: If you’re gay, bless you. If you’re transgender, bless you. And if you have a problem with that, f*ck you.”
Chuck not worried about pissing anybody off. Because if he gets canceled, he’ll just play golf.
