Personally, I don't drink when I fish. I've posted evidence of why in the past. When I do drink, I don't drink PBR for sure. I probably excrete PBR after I drink what I drink. No Offense to those who like it.....
If PBR or any other brewer wants to sponsor an event that would bring beer drinking patrons to the island, why not put up the same money for a serious volleyball tourney and maybe a bikini contest every weekend, culminating in a final match for both on the last day. Make it a trophy event where the winner takes it home for the year and has to defend the BI title next year.
They would draw more people, sell more beer and food, and not offend the patrons that populate the island in the spring and fall off seasons.
For $25K in prize money, surely they can come up with a more profitable promotion than killing breeding age fish from a crippled species.
I would think BI values the economy created by the surf guys that make the trips every year and wouldn't want to upset the off season business that we bring.
How would negative publicity affect their decision? Other than emailing PBR, what can we do?
