“What a Huge Mistake”: Peyton Manning’s Big Bud Light Deal Turns Out to Cost Him Millions of Dollars
If the news of Peyton Manning teaming up with Bud Light left you disappointed, you’re not the only one. Millions of fans expressed their displeasure by sending letters and emails to the former NFL star, conveying their disappointment in his choice.
Despite the widespread backlash, Manning remained steadfast and unyielding in his decision, opting to accept Bud Light’s financial offer and disregarding the sentiments of his fan base. Fast forward less than a year, and Manning has suffered significant financial losses in endorsements. He lamented the downturn in his career, noting the decline in requests for speaking engagements and the depreciation of his autograph’s value. In stark contrast, a Tom Brady authenticated signature commands a value of nearly $80,000.
Reflecting on his choices, Manning expressed regret, stating, “I should have stuck with Papa John and my conservative roots. Maybe I wouldn’t be in this predicament.” The prevailing sentiment, as indicated by the phrase “go woke, go broke,” is now seemingly applicable to Peyton Manning. This theory points to a pattern observed in other public figures like Kathy Griffin, Garth Brooks, and Alyssa Milano, who all faced financial setbacks. Manning has lost endorsements from platforms like the Joe Rogan Experience and Fox News’ “The Five,” further cementing his entry into a club of individuals experiencing financial decline due to their perceived alignment with progressive ideologies.
