Beats By Dre Announces Endorsement Deal With Bubba Wallace After Trump’s ‘Hoax’ Tweet
Beats By Dre has announced an endorsement deal they’ve struck with NASCAR’s Bubba Wallace, the organization’s only black full-time driver who’s notably been outspoken on protesting and social justice.
Just hours after Donald Trump‘s “hoax” tweet — in which he claimed Wallace faked a hate crime and called for him to apologize to his colleagues and officials for alleging he found a noose in his garage at the tracks –the electronics company took to Twitter to brighten the day.

The company stated, “We weren’t going to announce this until later this week, but hate cannot win the day. No one should ever be asked to apologize for standing up for what’s right — we are proud to welcome Bubba Wallace to the Beats by Dr. Dre family.”
Wallace joins LeBron James, Serena Williams, Simone Biles, and Odell Beckham Jr. at the Beats family of athletes.

Has @BubbaWallace apologized to all of those great NASCAR drivers & officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, & were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX? That & Flag decision has caused lowest ratings EVER!
