Another sponsor has cut ties with the Commanders, as Anheuser-Busch, the official beer sponsor of the NFL, ended its partnership with Washington on Friday, according to the Washington Post.

Anheuser-Busch becomes the third company in the last year to end its relationship with Washington, which has faced sexual harassment allegations and a name change in recent years.

“We remain fully committed to Washington football fans, and we look forward to continuing our long-term partnership with the NFL and our other 26 team partners to create meaningful experiences and connections for fans across the country,” an Anheuser-Busch spokesperson said in a statement to the Post.

Anheuser-Busch had just extended its NFL sponsorship back in December, but now, the Commanders say they will begin searching for a new alcohol sponsor. The company’s likeness was prevalent in FedEx Field, and has endorsements with several NFL players, including Taylor Heinicke.
