The company, Scholastic Play-by-play classics, scrapped off the games of Donda HS team from their tournament schedule. The company remarked that West’s recent actions forced them to take the step,“Unfortunately, we cannot in good conscience host an organization founded and directed by Mr. West at our events.” 

Though the company disapproved of Ye’s actions and academy, they showed empathy for the players of the Donda team. “While we are firm in our reasoning for this decision, it does not diminish our heartache and regret for Donda’s hardworking athletes who will lose out the most as a result of Kanye’s actions,” remarked the organization. The Donda HS team will miss the entire upcoming tournament. 

Following the announcement, enraged and frustrated fans took to Social Media to vehemently defend the innocent players. Here are some of the reactions.

The tournament hosted by the company is a big deal at the high school level. After the company cut ties with West and the academy, the players’ future remains uncertain. Missing out on displaying their talents on the national stage will undoubtedly affect their draft prospects.
