NFL superstar Aaron Donald and NBA All-Star Jaylen Brown have both announced they are leaving Donda Sports in the wake of antisemitic comments made by the agency’s founder Ye.
Both athletes made their announcements on Twitter. Donald, a 3-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, said in a joint statement with his wife Erica, “The recent comments and displays of hate and antisemitism are the exact opposite of how we choose to live our lives and raise our children.”
Brown opted to sever ties with Donda a day after he said he would stick with the agency. The former Cal basketball star apologized for his comments and said he stands “strongly against any antisemitism, hate speech, misrepresentation, and oppressive rhetoric of any kind.”
