A guy by the name of Carson King held up a sign at an Iowa football game for donations online for a case of Busch Light beer. It was sort of tongue-in-cheek and funny.

The internet responded by sending him over $1 million dollars.

What King did next was pretty epic. He bought a case of Busch Light and donated the rest of the money to the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital.

Anheuser-Busch was so impressed, they were going to match King’s donation.

Hooray, right?

Not for today’s media.

Some slimy shit-weasel with the Des Moines Register had to look up King on Twitter.

You can guess what happened next.

Anheuser-Busch to have ‘no further association’ with Carson King over social media posts

Anheuser-Busch announced Tuesday that it will cut ties with Carson King, the Iowa State fan who has raised over $1 million for the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital, over multiple offensive social media posts he made.

King held a press conference Tuesday to discuss a controversial post. He said a reporter with the Des Moines Register called attention to an offensive social media post he made when he was 16 years old.

That’s right. A couple of bad joke tweets from when King was 16 back in 2012 are ending this good deed for a children’s hospital.

In a statement to KCCI, Anheuser-Busch said, “Carson King had multiple social media posts that do not align with our values as a brand or as a company and we will have no further association with him. We are honoring our commitment by donating more than $350,000 to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.”

No more fundraising for a children’s hospital because of some jokes told by a high school sophomore seven years ago.

King had to submit to his own struggle session online.

This is absolutely fucking despicable. Not a 16-year old telling racist jokes, that’s normal teenage shenanigans. Destroying a good thing because a grown man today was discovered to have been a normal 16-year old boy seven years ago.
