It should go without saying, but COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, has nothing to do with the Corona beer.
Seriously, nothing at all.
Despite that objective fact, Corona beer had seen a significant decline in U.S. sales just in the lead-up to the coronavirus spread. Going back to late February — before life basically changed — Corona sales were down 5 percent. But no, that doesn’t mean that Corona beer should stop advertising.
You’d have to be rather misinformed to actually think there is a real link between Corona beer and the coronavirus. So, with that being said, what are you doing here, Michael Irvin?
On Thursday, the former NFL receiver and current NFL Network personality tweeted a video of a Corona beer commercial. He suggested that Corona should stop advertising because the coronavirus is claiming actual lives.
No, Michael. Don’t do this. This isn’t going to end well.
Maybe sit this one out with the coronavirus tweets for now on.
