The issue is whether it would have been better for the sponsors' image(s) if he had issued an apology, retracted his statement, and was allowed to make it right. I think the sponsors are living in an ultra intolerant bubble world that is "free" of racism, which does not exist in reality anywhere in this world. The sponsors are obviously corporate bots who do not live in the world that you and I inhabit. Their fake corporate boardroom take does not play in reality, unless you have retreated from every day living to some entitled protected enclave, free of the give and take of the rest of society.
