NORWICH, England (AP) — English Premier League club Norwich ended its new shirt sponsorship deal with a gambling operator on Thursday after a fans’ backlash at the firm using sexual images of young women in social media marketing. The deal with Asian gambling firm BK8 was announced on Monday and terminated within three days. She is a rarity among Premier League owners in being a longtime fan who lives in the local community. However, Norwich staff appeared not to have done due diligence on BK8’s sexualized posts on Instagram, which fans raised concerns about within an hour of the sponsorship being announced. We want to continue to embed a highly inclusive culture across the club, together with an accessible and welcoming environment free of demeaning and discriminatory behaviors.”___More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsLoading...
