Famous Tokyo franchise Konami has broken their contract with Antoine Griezmann and have cut ties with the player, who was previously announced as the ‘Yu-Gi-Oh’ contents ambassador. This is due to the controversial video that has been leaked in the last couple of days in which Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele appear to be mocking Asian people.
In a statement released today, Konami said: “Konami Digital Entertainment believes, as is the philosophy of sports, that discrimination of any kind is unacceptable.
“Previously we had announced Antoine Griezmann as our Yu-Gi-Oh! contents ambassador, however, in light of recent events we’ve decided to cancel the contract.
