Hmmmm, so if there is a contract for their sponsorship...how hard do you think it would be to get out of that? Lloyd likes lawyers, it could get messy and cost the company a lot more than finishing their obligated contract.
A lot of contracts have morality clauses. I don't think these particular ones do, but I still see them putting these athletes in their newer ads, so clearly they're fine with it.
They're sponsoring a fighter who actively supports Lloyd. Their sponsorship implies that they're OK with what the athlete is doing, in this case, being associated with Lloyd.3. He's not sponsoring Lloyd.
I'm honestly curious how if I wear a gi from Ronin, I'm part of the problem?
This is a bit of a stretch, I'd consider it more that you're not part of the solution. Here's a bit of a stretch, though. Let's play follow the money!
You buy a Ronin gi. $$ -> Kinji San
Kinji San sponsors Tim Spriggs. $$ -> Tim Spriggs
Tim Spriggs pays for training with TLI. $$ -> TLI
TLI pays for rapists' attorneys -> $$ -> scum
A bit of a stretch, but look at where your money would end up due to sponsorships. Are you OK with that?
