Didn't want to become the next Bud Light...

After the controversy last year over Bud Light partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, the iconic beer brand lost billions of dollars and is still struggling to recover not only market share but also its reputation that it lost from ensuing boycotts.

And Tractor Supply clearly didn't want to find itself in the same situation.
