A recent tweet has caused a wave of controversy surrounding Charles Barkley. He was playing at the American Century Championship and noticed something odd. No one was touching the Bud Light beer, and it was supposedly because they partnered with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney among other reasons. Due to the partnership, the brand had already faced a lot of backlash and criticism.

Barkley’s controversial statements in defense of the brand and the LGBTQ+ community led to a clash of opinion between him and a 25-year-old Orlando Magic player, which started a Twitter feud.

Barkley is in support of the brand & community

Charles Barkley, renowned for his unfiltered and likable persona, made headlines at the American Century Championship event in Lake Tahoe.

While offering the people Bud Light, he made an emphatic statement saying, “If you’re gay, bless you. If you’re transgender, bless you. If you have a problem with that fu** you.”

The video quickly circulated, drawing attention to Barkley’s outspoken nature and his willingness to address sensitive topics. However, this is not the first instance where Barkley has demonstrated his empathy towards the LGBTQIA+ community. Throughout his career, both on and off the court, Barkley has been vocal in his support for inclusivity and equality. His unwavering stance has earned him respect and admiration from fans and fellow athletes alike.
