Sports footwear giant Reebok has decided to end its partnership with CrossFit later this year following an insensitive comment by the fitness organisation’s chief executive concerning protests against racial injustice roiling the US.
Reebok said it would make the move once it fulfils its current contract obligation as the title sponsor for the 2020 CrossFit Games.
“Recently, we have been in discussions regarding a new agreement, however, in light of recent events, we have made the decision to end our partnership with CrossFit HQ,” Reebok said in a statement Sunday.
