WWE Releases Statement on Jordan Myles T-Shirt Controversy

Earlier today, Jordan Myles tweeted about a t-shirt that WWE designed for him, calling it “a design that screams racism against African Americans” and “a slap in the face to every African American performer, fan, and supporter.”

I will keep posting this till my voice is heard. I’m not sorry for anything I say or do.

Representation is important.

If this is @VinceMcMahon & @TripleH “vision” of me then this is a slap in the face to EVERY African American performer, fan, and supporter. pic.twitter.com/S6Gtg9e4lP

Because THEY are blind and stuck in their ways. THEY don’t see the disrespect in producing a design that screams racism against African Americans. THEY have been blinded for years and THEY NEED A REPROGRAMMING BECAUSE THEY ARE IGNORANT!

WWE released this statement to media today:

Albert Hardie Jr. (aka Jordan Myles) approved this t-shirt for sale. As always, we work collaboratively with all of our performers to develop logos and merchandise designs and get their input and approval before proceeding. This was the same process with Albert, and we responded swiftly once he later requested that the logo/t-shirt be redesigned. No t-shirts were sold.
