Booing the commissioner at the NFL draft is a tradition unlike – oops, sorry, wouldn’t want to infringe on any trademarks.
But presumably NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is safe from hearing the boobirds this year since the draft is being conducted virtually, right? Think again.
Bud Light is offering football fans the opportunity to record themselves booing the commissioner while enjoying a can of their product.
Just tag @budlight and use the hashtag #BootheCommish, and the company promises to forward all the jeers to the draft, which begins Thursday night. The event, originally scheduled to take place in Las Vegas, was changed to a virtual format due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In addition, the company will donate $1 for each lusty boo tweet it receives through April 25, up to $500,000, to the NFL Draftathon. The NFL has designated six charitable organizations to receive assistance in this year’s Draftathon campaign, including the American Red Cross, Meals on Wheels and the United Way.

The NFL Draft will be without an important tradition. And we just can't let that stand. Record your boos then post & tag @budlight and #BooTheCommish. We’ll deliver the boos to the Draft, and for each #BootheCommish thru April 25, we’ll donate $1 to NFL Draft-a-Thon up to $500K. pic.twitter.com/fnvcYDpZPW
