CNN commentator Angela Rye receives backlash after trying to portray Adidas as racist for using Paul Pogba in their Predator ad
CNN commentator Angela Rye who campaigned vigorously for Hillary
Clinton during US last presidential campaign is under fire for her
ignorant post about Paul Pogba's Adidas-Predator ad.
After H&M's scandal over the weekend, which they apologized for
on Monday, Angela Rye decided to find fault in Paul Pogba's ad for
Adidas Predator, calling the ad racist. Well soccer/football fans
weren't here for it. They called her ignorant and 'dumb' for assuming
the ad was racist, citing other football players, including David
Beckham who have been the face of the cleats brand.
Read her post below:
And now @adidas...this
is devastating. —>a lot of you are defending this ad by saying the
soccer player pictured wears this line of cleats. Where’s the shoe? Do
you understand that PREDATOR has a negative connotation particularly
when we are talking about the perception of Black people in the world?
This is irresponsible and NOT well thought out.
Well, she got major backlash for her 'over reach'. Read some comments below:
