The sports manufacturing giants Nike have become the latest major sponsor to break their ties with Yorkshire, as the club's crisis deepens in the wake of the Azeem Rafiq racism investigation.
The deal, which had covered the club's men's and women's teams across all formats, was only unveiled in March and had been due to run for four years.

However, in a statement, the brand chose to distance itself from the club with immediate effect, saying: "Nike will no longer be the kit supplier for Yorkshire CCC. We stand firmly against racism and discrimination of any kind."

Long time over due that things like this get called out. But do these big corporations really care about the issue? Or is it just PR moves in case twitter mobs continue to wonder why they are still associated with the club?
